Angels are universally seen as "good", but in perspective maybe that self image makes them unpure. Psychotic for the name of their own personal Justice. Look at deathnote, Kira was considered a God, his intentions were pure, and on the cover, yeah reasonable. But as the story progressed you find such decisions are much more complex and harder to draw the line.
I don't know the right way to put it, but in a sense they are just extremists, shinigami essentially "purge" hollows and recyle them, quincy outright obliterate them that f`ucks up the balance. So you can see, their decisions are nothing but black and white, like most "angel's" judgement would be.
And if I recall there wasn't any real "encounter" with an Angel in the bible, or not the ones you're describing anyway.
There are some, like the one that talked to Mary or the one that talked to Abaham. I'm not knowledgeable about the bibble so I don't know how many but I know they were mostly messengers to humanity from God. This is a pretty extensive topic and rather complicated aswell so let me finish saying this, Christianity isn't "unforgiving and have an egotistical", at all, it is in no way like Kira. I took my comment that Japan might not know this from the fact that they use them as antagonist most, if not all the time. Maybe they do know but it's just that, like with "Zombie apocalipse" and "The end of the world", "Alien invasion" and etc, this argument sells more.
