Understanding Angels and Their Creation

Angels are created beings of a higher perfection than humans, existing as non-material spiritual essences. They are not limited by bodily constraints and have a unique experience of time and eternity, often described as 'epiternity.' Unlike humans, who gain knowledge through sensory experiences, angels possess pure intellect, allowing them to know everything about an object or situation without the need for gradual learning. This level of knowledge means they can comprehend the full consequences of their choices with absolute certainty, which fundamentally differentiates their decision-making from that of humans.
