For those of you who believe in angels, I have a question:
Are there a fixed number or do they get promoted from doing good deeds on earth or something? Do they have gender? If so do they reproduce on their own? Have families and such?

Originally posted by sonhouseas for my understanding there is a fixed number, they do the work of god not themselves so all they do is good, not sure on gender as my understanding is the 7 who minister to god have male names the others are mans discription of female figures, no the live forever so no need to reproduce and the whole of gods world is a family of love for each other.

Are you saying that there are female angels in the Bible?
I cant remember seeing any. I thought all references to angels were masculine.

Originally posted by knightmeisterOne of the most consistent thing about the Bible (I presume you believe in the Bible) is its references to angels from beginning to end. They are simply messengers of God who have appeared to many. Why would you say its mythical ?

as for saying female angels that is not what i wrote, i wrote there are 7 angels who minister to god they have male names. Other angels are mans terms people who say they have seen them discribe a female in appearance. go back to my earlier post and that is what i ment.

If someone came to me a said they saw an angel and described a female, that would be less believable as there are no references to angels in the Bible wi a female appearance. There are many references to angels that look like males.

yes there are no references to female angels in the bible..
mary queen of heaven is and appears to the chosen with messages, so its not beyond belief.
your choice is to belive or not if someone says they saw a angel male or female but if they go on to be better people then belive in what you see happen.

does anyboyd belive that you die, go to heaven, and become an angel? because that belief seems popular even though i dont see that in the bible but i think that people make the assumption that going to heaven means you will be an angel

Originally posted by EcstremeVenomno you wont be a angel, tho if you are talking a system yes the saints and prophets will be given there reward. but as jesus said about john none born of man and women was greater but he will be below the angels in his kingdom.
