  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

A simple question.

Hi Criada,

"He is Spirit, and I don't think that spirit has gender, though He encompasses all the best of both."

This brings up another question. Are angels spirits?

I don't know.
The bible is not clear on that one... I think that they probably are, but until I get to heaven I won't know for sure. :)

Hi Criada and Novembres,

"This brings up another question. Are angels spirits?

I don't know. The bible is not clear on that one... I think that they probably are.."

I ask because in the Bible it describes a war between God's angels and Satan's followers, and I have to wonder, how do spirits fight? Any ideas?

Well, the description is in Revelation, which is a description of a vision, and largely figurative. So, I am not sure that it describes a physical battle between physical entities.
That sound a bit of a cop out.. but, that is my opinion.

On the other hand, there are a lot of instances in the Bible of angels appearing in physical form, so it appears that they are certainly able to do so! In the words of the old hymn, "Tis mystery all..."
