Subject: What does "because of the angels" mean ? |
Bible Note: 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 |
