Do Angels have a gender ?
 

Anybody care about this ?
:D

Well, I don't really care if they have a specific gender or not, but I
believe with every fiber of my being that they exist! Since you brought it up, any close encounters of the "Angelic" kind?

So the Angels Gabriel & Michael weren't male?

I would imagine that to have genders, they'd have to have chromosomes. It seems unlikely that they would.

all male?
 

I imagine that Michael and Gabriel would have at least appeared as males to humans. I don't know (or really care) whether there are "male & female" or whatever.

But since we're on angels, and I've posted 2 other stories involving friends today....

When I was in college one of my sisters was casually dating this guy we'll call "Steve". They were getting along fine, and they would often visit each others' dorm room to chat. During one of these chats, the subject of angels came up. As it turns out, Steve and his mom both believe adamently in angels. Steve believes you have your very own guardian angel watching over and protecting you. (I do not mean in the hypothetical or metaphorical sense, I mean beings with wings and everything!!). Steve believed (and occassionally did this) you could WRITE LETTERS to your guardian angel.

My poor friend was totally freaked out by this. I mean, the guy was like 18 or 19 years old at the time, not 7. They eventually split up.

Angels are women, but God is a man....

didn't you guys watch dogma? the male angels like loki and the seraphims did all the important stuff while the female angels stayed home and kept the place clean.

What if God is a woman and angels are men ?

That breathes upon a bank of violets,
Stealing and giving odour! ...

Lol! Sounds like something that would be said at the Playboy mansion.

I think angels are male and female. I think that when your family and friends die....they become your angels. And when its time for you to die, those friends or family members are sent to take you from this world into the afterlife...so you wont be scared :)

A woman I work with shared this story with me...and it brought me a lot of comfort. To think that my loved ones who have passed are looking after me and also when I die, my mom or dad would come to get me.

It would be easier to just ask an angel . . . If its impossible to ask an Angel during life or death, or angels don't exist, the point is moot. If it is possible to ask, then your answer is there. Why speculate?:)

I absolutely believe in angles and guardian angels. Maybe its a comforting thought to me, that a higher power has been assigned to get me thru my tough times, but I do get thru them...so who am I to say I didn't have some angelic help when I've asked for it?

I feel you Amycat412, but why do I get the feeling my Guardian Angel might believe in a little tough love?
LOL
:D

LOL maybe we share the same angel James-- mine certainly likes me to learn my lessons the hard way! :D

That would explain a lot, the angel trying to look after both of us mischief seekers. Maybe that is why my formative years seemed more charmed, growing up outside LA which is closer to you. But this three thousand mile difference might be too much for the Angel now .:)

I should move back to California . . at least it would be warm :)

lol was 78degrees here today... angel serving up some tough love for me again in form of my ex bf... sigh. ha ha ha ha Enough already! I get it Angel! Go beat up on James some!!!

LOL

I am sure they must have gender, both female and male.

So, do they have DNA ?
:p

Since they are a higher being probably not, but I believe there must be male and female souls.

I don't understand the meaning of male/female soul without DNA (female/male body). Do you find this in Bible ?

I like the idea of angels being souls without gender. Some could be our loved ones who were souls that landed in a male or female body and took on those qualities. After the body dies, they return to a non-gender state. Interesting ideas on this thread, but for the MOMENT, I like brooklineu's thoughts.

.[/Bangels in themselves as holy beings of light have no gender. But in their form towards humans, they appear in a human-like form to mirror our own selves. And if they appeared to an animal, they would appear in animal-like form. Therefore, in OUR views of them as angels as we would see them, or have contact with them, we would see them as a human with a specific sex, but in their own original forms are genderless beings of light, ie, not human.[B]angels in themselves as holy beings of light have no gender.

i absolutely love the idea of angels! other beings helping God out...c'mon. i totally believe they exist...whether male or female makes no difference...but i really think that angels are a combination of God-like souls and our loved ones that have departed and gone from us. my friend luke passed away last year (he'd be 21 today, actually), and there are times when i feel like is right next to me, or walking behind me...i guess it could just be wishful thinking...but at the same time, do people always have to have scientific evidence to believe in something? plain ol' faith is wonderful.

and a weird thing on that note: i was having a dream the other night that i kept seeing someone that looked like luke and i started to cry, then i woke up abruptly and i felt goosebumps on my arm that immediately just lifted off of me...like he was there, but left as soon as i woke up. it's hard to explain...but i have dreams where he visits me a lot, and it's not just a dream...it's a visit. he's checking on me. they don't happen when i think about him a lot...he comes when something is going on in my life. so weird. but i love that i have it.

Its just my personal opinion. I don't now the real answers because I am not dead yet to ask the angels the truth.

All I know is that in my elementary school Christmas Pagents, the angels were always girls.

Guess Gabe and Mike weren't there.

Thank's zntke711
