A simple question.

[Criada]

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?

 

[Criada]

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..."
