Irrelevant question if you have read the Book of Mary (Nag Hammuradi). The end of the world ‘reaping’ will be done in two steps; the first will take the males. Christ will appear and convert the remaining females to a ‘male’ form for the second ‘reaping’.
In classical art the Greek/Roman Nike/Victory looks just like most depictions of angels.
No.
Of course, I can't prove it but I think so too. We will have our perfect resurrected bodies which I assume will be either male or female. Because humans were designed to be sexual beings prior to the Fall, it seems logical that we would continue to be sexual beings in heaven.
However, if there is no sex in heaven, we will not miss it one bit, no matter how enjoyable it is down here. Heaven will have endless joys that will keep our minds eternally occupied, so we wouldn't have time to miss sex if it is not part of the heavenly agenda.
God has not told us one way or the other, so all we can do is speculate (and probably very poorly).
But is there beer?
I always wondered how many could dance on the head of a pin. I suppose that if they were all female, a lot. If all little children, even more. If all male, not so many...just sayin’.
Angels have plenty of “gender”. What they don’t have is a sex.
Why is it that people can’t get it into their heads that gender is a grammatical category? Probably because people nowadays are even more ignorant about grammar than they are about biology.
All of them. You’re welcome.
Good one! :)
All Angels in/from heaven are characterized as being male. For us to portray any of them as female is unnecessary and could potentially bring scandal depending on the circumstances. Bad juju.
ALL ANGELS ARE MALE. PERIOD.
.
Again — The thread is intended to be about the gross under-representation of adult male angels in today’s angel art and figurines.
I like the 2nd sentence here. It states that angels are non-gender (sex) because they are not biological.
The same should apply to God. But I doubt anyone really takes that position. I don’t see why God would have to be a sex.
"Angel" is from the Greek word for "messenger."
My vexation is with today’s uber feminized portrayal of angels.
Oh well, I guess the angels that killed the tens of thousands at the Camp of Assyria and that killed all the firstborn males at Passover were pretty women angels in flowing dresses with silken blonde hair...
“I think that idiot Hank Hanegraaff...”
Steer clear of that confused man.
“people nowadays are even more ignorant about grammar than they are about biology.”
Got it. I’m ignorant.
I think heretic is a better description of Hanegraaff.
Someone once told me that female angels are really demons, but did not cite the actual Bible verse where that is stated.
The feminization of angels is probably just another cultural bastardization of scripture.
Once they leave their ‘first estate’ they are male, thus they chose them wives of any and all they desired and fathered offspring who were ‘mighty men of old’.
