1 | What does "because of the angels" mean ? | 1 Cor 11:10 | GeneZ | 96829 | ||
You said... "... The angels are neither male nor female." The Bible does not say that. The Hebrew and Greek do assign a definite gender to angels. It is always in the masculine gender, never in the feminine gender. And, never neuter. Vines made a point of this in his Word Study. That the words for angels always appear in the masculine gender. And, if you note, the names always given to angels in the Bible are masculine, never feminine. Grace and peace, Gene |

Hi Gene, If angels are always in the masculine gender, then explain Zechariah 5:9? Blessings, pbp |

Just because Zechariah was shown two women in a vision (which represented something) and was shown this by angels, themselves... It does not speak of female angels. Women have appeared in visions as representing something in other passages. Why would angels showing him something symbolic concerning women have to be angels? Is the Great Whore of Babylon and angel, too? She was shown in a vision, also! "The woman was dressed in purple and scarlet, and was glittering with gold, precious stones and pearls. She held a golden cup in her hand, filled with abominable things and the filth of her adulteries. This title was written on her forehead: MYSTERY BABYLON THE GREAT THE MOTHER OF PROSTITUTES AND OF THE ABOMINATIONS OF THE EARTH. I saw that the woman was drunk with the blood of the saints, the blood of those who bore testimony to Jesus." Revelation 17:4-6 niv Again, the word for angels always appears in the masuline gender. If the passage you quoted from showed the word for angel appearing in the feminine gender, then I would see your point. Grace and peace, GeneZ |
