Matthew1344
Puritan Board Sophomore
Sorry if this is a no brainier, because I know I should have given this more thought than I previously have.
Ever since I have been a Christian I have only hear that we were created in the image of God. Also I have never heard anything about Angels having a soul/spirit. And I was asked a lot of questions recently about angels and have realized that my angel theology is seriously lacking.
Then this morning I cracked open a book and it said this :
"God is Spirit (John 4:24)
Angles are called sons of God (Job 1:6;Gen 6:2;Psalm 89:6;Job 38:7)
Angels have no physical frame, they are not like men and women,and they are not manifested after this order of things; since, however, they are called sons of God, the inference is clear that they bear the image of God. "
1) are angels spirit? Do they have a spirit? If they are only spirit, then what about the visions of John, Isaiah, and what about the angel Mary saw?
2) are they in the image of God?
3) what exactly does this "image of God"? I have head many things, but I am curious to what you guys think.
4) I'm sorry if this sounds selfish or arrogant , but I am only trying to work out different things that I have been taught. So here goes...do we have more worth than angels? Are we a higher rank than them? Again I'm sorry about that question seeming arrogant.
I'd love your help brothers, please be easy on me!
