Depends on the class ... for example ... Isaiah 6.
Ah, there are so many important speculative questions about angels that must be asked. The answers are important.
People look at you funny when you tell them there are no female angels............
That’s why they call it ‘Heaven’..................
Humans should not waste the energy of their faith worrying about such matters. G-d will reveal all such unknowns to each when G-d chooses, in this life or beyond it. Don’t be vexed by such matters.
I believe there is sex in heaven. Jesus only said there is no marriage in heaven. Since you can’t get pregnant or catch a sexual disease in heaven and jealously isn’t a thing there either, I believe there is sex in heaven, because it honestly wouldn’t be heaven without it.
They are messengers and servants of God. The most common reaction in the Bible on initially seeing them is fear. Apparently their is a host or army of them in heaven. Perhaps each of us has one or more looking out for us. I hope so. I need all the protection I can get.
Because Hallmark can’t make money on big burly man angel cards.
And because the angels are portrayed in a view of the artists of their times. They all liked little girls and boys.
I agree that Angels do not a gender. Not need to since God planned Heaven to have no need for procreation.
According to ZuZu in It’s a Wonderful Life, every time a bell rings an Angel gets their wings
My point to you all is that I don’t think G-d cares what you do or don’t believe on the topic of angels and gender. To G-d that is an issue you can let G-d resolve for you at His choosing.
“If 95% of today’s angel art was of very masculine adult men...same comment?”
Absolutely. They’re the good guys/gals.
However, I was wrong in my original statement. It’s not a matter of them being on my side. That’s selfish thinking on my part. I need to be on their (and God’s) side...in my actions and thoughts. (I’m not always as good as I should be.)
Heaven is better than anything our feeble finite minds can imagine. We will be in the presence of Jesus Christ.
Anything you can imagine in this life is polluted by your fallen nature.
I wouldn’t go beyond anything that scripture doesn’t confirm.
Sex in Heaven? No mention of it. On a practical thought, what would be the purpose? Relationships in Heaven will be prefect.
Surely you are not suggesting disease, pregnancy, and jealousy are all that keep you from having sex here in this life?
Sex for a Christian ( or as it was designed) is an expression of intimacy only between a husband and a wife. Why would we need sex in Heaven where there is no marriage needed?
I think that idiot Hank Hanegraaff is the one who popularized this idea of sex in Heaven.
“They are representative of wickedness and are not dealing with angels.”
It is always amazes me that when the Bible records something that doesn’t fit a chosen narrative, then all of a sudden a switch is made from literal to figurative and symbolic.
Why would God all of a sudden display wickedness by using female gender to get it across? There is no hint in the verse that suggests the female angels represent evil. They may be doing something evil; I haven’t studied the verse.
Babylon in the Bible may represent evil, but that is because there was a Babylon.
Angels with no gender?
This thread can be derailed... :)
If one Angel can kill 185,000 soldiers, what can an entire legion of Angels do?
“they are neither male nor female”
You sure?
What verse?

Seraphs & Cherubs have wings.
