Hi Kan
Angels are spirit, not material.
Hebrews 1:7 And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.
A spirit is invisible. We cannot see them, or touch them.
Material things can be seen and touched.
Material things perish.
Gods word is also spirit.
His Word gives life.
His Word was with him from the beginning, and came out of him.
He can send his Word whereever he wants to, and make it appear however he likes, because his Word is spirit.
He happened to later changed his Word into flesh.
That is the man we know Jesus Christ.
He is that same Word.
He became flesh, and after his resurrection, returned to spirit.
What ever he spoke, is God speaking.
No man can come to God through any other word, only through Gods Word.
If we believe on his Son whom he sent, then we know there's no confusion which God we serve,
and he is that tree of life (spiritually speaking)
He's not a real tree, but his fruit, which is truth, gives life.
Thanks for that I agree with you, except my concept of spirit is that it is stronger than our matter.
Matter of which we are made is weaker than angels, which can break steel like it were straw, and God is even stronger than anything He has made. Creation is more like a hologram by comparison. Angels are intangible to us, only because our material is not as strong. But our lack of discernment and contact, does not make them a puff of mist that floats around. And neither is God a ghost.
The concept of spirit as a ghost comes from generations of man which have lost their intelligence about the unseen worlds.
But as far as the terms spirit and material are commonly used, I agree with what you are saying.
Hi Kan
Thank you for explaining that.
I agree with you..... not to be considered as ghosts, who float around doing nothing, or made of nothing, but created spirit. Intelligent created spirit creatures, made of a higher matter called spirit.
On the resurrection of the saints, we will be made like them out of the same material. How exciting.
God bless you.
