if they are angels of god then there not going to lie cos angels were not created that way at all but humans were born with two intellects to do good and to do bad. angels follow the commands of god and they do not disobey him

well, one is an angel of God, one is not. The angel of God will always tell the truth, the latter will always lie.

Question: Who is the lord of the worlds

Angel of God: GOD

Devil: Me ! (or something to that affect).

But the devil would lie - therefore his answer would also be GOD!

So if you ask that question, both answers will be the same. The angel of God will say GOD because it is true, the devil because he is a liar!
Either way, you still wouldn't know who is who, and which door is the right one ...
 
Italianguy,
I think you didn't understand my post. The original riddle goes:
You're at a forked road, and don't know which road to take. There's two twinbrothers there , both know the directions you need, however you know that one of the identical twins always lies, while the other always tells the truth. you can't tell them apart and you only get one question.
In this version, the answer is to merely ask: "What road would your brother send me on if I asked him for directions?" Both twins will answer the opposite road to the one you're supposed to take.

The difference with this riddle? Since we are told that the angel who guards the door to heaven always tells the truth, and we are told that the angel who guards hell always lies, we can just ask any question. Any question that you already know the answer to will suffice. If you know the answer already, then by comparing their responses to the actual answer you can determine which on lies. Once we determined trough our question which of the two is the liar, then we know that the door that this liar is guarding, is the door to hell.

On another note, both Ardantio and Glo's answers were correct. why did you say they were close, but not right? Their answers totally work, even without the loophole I've just shown.

Glo, I guess what you mean is, if you're telling the truth, but think you are lying, you're still lying. So if the devil thinks he's lord, and wants to lie he'd say that God is lord instead. Although in fairness he could also lie by saying that yet somebody else is lord.

Try reading again, you cannot just ask any question, There are millions of questions you could ask if that were the case. but it is alomost identical to yours. Sorry brother i didn't see your reply on that.:p

In any question like this, a question of 1+1 doesn't answer the question the bad angel will always lie, not just simply say the opposite. Plus you aren't allowed to ask that question it has to pertane to the doorways.
