Talk:Angel of Death

Should it have an article?
Should the Angel of Death have its own article? It does not seem the phrase "Angel of Death" (unless there is a specific version where it does) occurs specifically in the Bible to my surprise. However it is common of the Christian community and media to refer to an "Angel of Death" in the Passover, Angel attack of Jerusalem, Sennacherib's army etc.

Is there any specific evidence that would indicate there is a specific Angel dedicated to destruction or just utilization of Angels in general?

 * Some translations say "Angel of Death" while most say "Destroyer" in Exodus 12:23. Some translations say "Angel of Death", others say "Destroying Angel", while most say "Destroyer" in 1 Corinthians 10:10. Most of the translations I have seen call the angel who destroyed Sennacherib's army the Angel of the in Isaiah 37:36 and 2 Kings 19:35, but none call him the "Angel of Death". Consider these following articles on the subject when deciding whether or not to make this article:
 * got Questions?org
 * patheos
 * Also, it appears that one of the roles of the Angel of the is to execute whoever the  says to execute, and to deliver messages to whoever the  says to deliever the messages to. Many of the examples given may actually be this Angel of the . I personally believe that the Angel of the  is the angel Gabriel, he is called "an angel of the Lord" in Luke. The Greek does not say "an" and so leaves open the possibility that the title "Angel of the " is for Gabriel. Or it may simply be a title given to any angel mentioned in the New Testament. Either way, perhaps we should make this page be a redirect to Angel of the . I will leave the decision up to you. A Child of God Talk
