Subject: Do Angels have Genders? Male and Female? |
Bible Note: Dear EdB, I don't think I said that angels are genderless. What I did was refer to the Scripture where Jesus said that they did not marry and that the references in Scripture that have any thing to do with angels and gender seem to imply masculine. However, the Scriptures do not go into detail on the subject as far as I know. Angels are created to live for ever and we are not told that they ever have children, so there is no need for marriage. I also do not recall saying that we will become genderless in heaven but we will no longer have a need to marry or be married as we will no longer have children as we do on this earth in the flesh. We will still have relationships with others and will know our loved ones in heaven, but we each will have our own independence and will not be legally bound with any one person. We will be free from physical needs (need for shelter, money, heat or cold, physical weakness, hunger, etc.)and so we may pursue whatever God has for us to do and enjoy without being dependent on another for that privilege. Yet we will be able to fellowship at will. I hope that clears up my meaning. I am not the voice of God and I certainly do not have all the answers, but I do not believe I meant what you seem to believe I said. -Itiswritten |
