Title: angles that look like men?
Post by: gallenwalsh on November 26, 2011, 07:40:16 AM

If we are supposedly the only beings being made in the image of God, why do some angles look like men?If angles can sin why are they called holy?

Angel is the word "messenger".

This is an angle  <

(sorry, 30 years a teacher makes me correct things-maybe even just typos)

Hopefully, more serious scholars than I will try to answer your question.

I am well aware that Angles are synonymous with messengers, there have been instances in the old and new testament where Angles that  look like man have appeared to humans. My guess is that there is an order of Angles, but I was looking for something scriptural to expound on the matter.Seeing how we are being made in the image of god ( Christ) who is and does look like a man is a little confusing to me when there are Angles that look like men.

No.1 God is spirit. true image of God.
2. angles are spirit beings that God created. can come in form of man.
3. Christ was spirit as in the true image of His Father God before becoming man
4. Man is being made into the true image of God and Christ which is spirit.
Ray says that man is being created and was not made in the image of God which means to me that man will not be in Gods image until we are transformed into spirit. Is this not correct??
