btw i think that conceptualizing angels as tools rather than servants makes a lot more sense because while a servant has a certain degree of independence and purpose outside of servitude; a personhood, and the free will and complex inner psyche that comes with that, angels… don’t? at least not traditionally? additionally, when angels defect from their intended purpose and show free will and independence and personal desire beyond that which they were created to fulfil, they become fallen, and are cast out, like an object that no longer works anymore and cannot be fixed, rather than a person who can be reasoned with, understood, and forgiven.
