And if/when the Almighty deems fit for one of His angels to manifest in some form, He is more than able to make it happen.
OK. So what makes you think that the inverse is not the case; that angels are normally visible, but God can make them invisible?

In know of no biblical passage where there are invisible angels. (I do not believe demons to be angels) Can you give me one?

I don't believe angels and demons were ever seen with physical eyes. They influence the soul. Seen by the mind.

Ephesians:
For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, and against the worldly governors, the princes of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness, which are in the high places.

If you believe that there is no demonic activity, and has not been for 2000 years, you must have been sleeping.
Not only had there been much demonic activity but it is on an exponential increase.
Seriously?
Really, what newspaper
was it published in? It must have been the Trump monitor.

Scripture says that angels are "ministering spirits", Hebrews 1:14.

Right! But be careful lest you entertain angels unawares Hebrews 13:2

Correct. They are spirits and have spiritual bodies. 1 Cor 15.44

Angels aren't resurrected human beings, they are spirits.
Exactly.

Risen Messiah had a spiritual body. Angels have spiritual bodies. And when we resurrect we will also.

Seriously.
In fact it's actually been on a steady decrease and has been for the past 2000 years, and today is exponentially less than it was the first century and before.

Satan was bound/judged/cast out by Christ's ministry, reversing satan's dominion over the People of God, granting power over all darkness to the saints, and immediately enabling the gospel to spread to all nations.
(John 12:31 and Matthew 12:28-29, Hebrews 2:14-15 and 1 John 3:8).

Satan, Demons, etc have no power over any authorities or kings, or planet Earth since CHRIST is the God of this world (Matt 28:18-19). Christ's dominion is progressive and ever-expanding in the Church age as Christ is reconciling all things to himself via the Church (2 Cor 5:18-20; Matthew 16:18-19). All dominion now belongs to Jesus Christ and the Church (1 Peter 3:22; Jude 1:25; 1 Tim 1:17; Daniel 7:14,27).

It seems, according to scripture, angels can manifest in bodies similar to humans....or be totally invisible.
To me, this tells me that they are able to dwell in a parallel dimension or exist in ours. They are able to live beyond the physical characteristics of our world of space time and matter.

Isn't it strange that no devils or demons have appeared for 2000 years? Have you seen any? If so, prove it; photos, documentation, etc.
?? You REALLY have not been paying attention. They are as thick as flies on a dead horse. There are priests that perform hundreds of exorcisms a year. I've seen demons quite a few times myself. I know of people that have to deal with the little monsters on a daily basis.

One thing you do need to understand is that Satan does his best work when people don't believe he exists.
So you aren't going to see any demons strolling down Main street for all to see.

Your claim about 2,000 years is a bit hard to prove. You're just making an unsupported assertion. If you'd claimed "No devils in my lifetime" maybe you could make a case, at least for the USA. But you didn't make a circumspect claim you just went ballistic and claimed two thousand years. So I say, prove your claim.

God any references? Links? pics? Videos?

One thing you do need to understand is that Satan does his best work when people don't believe he exists.
So you aren't going to see any demons strolling down Main street for all to see.

So are you saying Satan is doing a poor job with you since you see his demons so often?

The more demons you see and interact with means the less influence they have over you?

Acts of the Apostles 19:15:16 I know Peter and Paul but who are you?
[QUOTE="Widlast, post: 71804154, Member: 384698]I've seen demons quite a few times myself. [/QUOTE] Great, describe what they looked like, what were they wearing, what color weretheir eyes, how many eyes did they have?
Did they wear shoes, have suspenders, a robe, could they fly? Jesus called Peter one in Matthew 16:23.

Have you seen one? Perhaps you mean like Peter? Matthew 16:23

Getting ahead of yourself, since you forgot to answer my question.

How do you know they haven't?

Jesus called Peter one but that was 2000 years ago. There is nothing to prove there are no demons, devils, satan, or anything thay could oppose God except for th Kings andtheir armies.
