This is easily proved. Christian Angelology is directly and solely derived from that of the Pharisees, who brought their tenets from Babylonia. The Sadducees, the real guardians of the Laws of Moses, knew not of, and rejected, any angels, opposing even the immortality of the human ''Soul ''(not impersonal Spirit). In the Bible the only “ Angels ” spoken of are the “ Sons of God ” mentioned in Genesis vi.

Now what do the Babylonian accounts of “ Creation,” as found on the Assyrian fragments of tiles, tell us ; those very accounts upon which the Pharisees built their angelology ? But compare Mr. G. Smith’s “ ''Assyrian Discoveries'',” p. 398, and his “ ''Chaldean Account of Genesis'',” p. 107.
