1 | Do Angels have Genders? Male and Female? | Bible general Archive 2 | itiswritten | 120486 | ||
In addition to what has already been mentioned, I would like to add one more Scripture to what is already mentioned concerning the gender of angels. Though in these Scriptures, Jesus is answering a question about the resurrection, the genderlessness of angels is implied: In Matthew 22:23-33 Jesus is questioned about the resurrection and in His answer He mentions that (Matt. 22:29-30) they were making a mistake because they did not understand the power of God nor did they understand the Scriptures and implied that the angels of God do not marry nor are they given in marriage...in other words they are not male and female as humans are. This same incident is also recorded in Mark 12:18-27. I hope this is helpful. Itiswritten |

itiswritten You said, "In Matthew 22:23-33 Jesus is questioned about the resurrection and in His answer He mentions that (Matt. 22:29-30) they were making a mistake because they did not understand the power of God nor did they understand the Scriptures and implied that the angels of God do not marry nor are they given in marriage...in other words they are not male and female as humans are." Can you tell me where the implication is. The only thing I see is a statement they do not marry. There is no mention stated, implied or understood about their gender or lack thereof. In light of the fact that it is stated that they do not marry could in fact imply just the opposite that there are different genders. Notice the usage both men and women are going to be in heaven but they will not marry just as the angels do not marry. EdB |

Dear EdB, I did not see this as a statement but I personally see the statement as IMPLYING that angels are genderless as they do not procreate. So, they have no need of gender. They are immortal as they are. Humans are mortal beings. In this body, we have gender so that we can come together for the purpose of continuing the human race. And this comment is only in addition to the former statements. Itiswritten. |

Once agan it is opinion that may or may not be fact. Since the named angels carry male names one might assume they are male in gender. I guess we will know for sure one day won't we? Ed |

Dear Ed, Yes, to clarify ...it is my opinion. I did not say it is definitely fact. I just gave my opinion as food for thought by what I thought the Scripture was implying. It was merely a comment on my part. Itiswritten. |

Itiswritten I wonder why we try to read so much into Matthew 22:30 passage? It seems we forget the greatest thrust of the passage is the assurance that there is a resurrection and that there is life everafter for the believer. It seems that becomes secondary to the discussion on whether angels have gender or not. I wonder once more if it isn’t the adversary’s way of getting us to major on minors and ignore what is realy important. EdB |
