Are Angels Triune Beings?

**Youssarian** · Nov 10th 2009, 02:16 AM

God and humans are both triune - body, soul, and spirit. Does the same apply for angels?

God is Triune (One being existing as three persons).
Humans are dual natured (physical and spiritual, with spiritual being comprised of the spirit and soul; one being existing as one person).
Angels are presumably, one natured (spiritual; one being existing as one person).

1 Tim. -"5 The purpose of my instruction is that all believers would be filled with love that comes from a pure heart, a clear conscience, and genuine faith. 6 But some people have missed this whole point. They have turned away from these things and spend their time in meaningless discussions."
No offense.

No, because an angel is still one being manifesting in the singular.

Like a spirit in a material world?

"Angel" (malakh) in the Bible simply means "messenger." The Book of Malachi simply places a human prophet in that role.

There are plenty of places in the Hebrew OT where 'malakhim' were manifested as human beings, even in the Gospels.

With God, nothing is too hard or difficult. His ways are not our ways (Isa 55:8)

Correct. Angels are not spirits.

You that think so heard me right! Show me were it says so!
No sorry....read it again!
It says He makes them spirits. It does not say they are spirits and God makes them like man.
What the bible teaches is that, like man, they are created beings and that man is made a little lower spiritually then they are. They are manifested with physical bodies of their own throughout scripture. They are so much like man that we can see one and not know it. Does that sound like a spirit? Jesus said touch and see that it is I, for spirit does not have flesh and bone. Phillip was translated to another city. Was he made a spirit? What does it mean?
Where does this 'angels are spirits' come from, because it's not from scripture?

Are not angels according to Hebrews...

'ministering spirits' sent to the heirs of Salvation?

Angels have bodies.. but they are not like human bodies in the reality that they have flesh and bones like our human flesh does.......

remember Paul talked about the different kinds of flesh and bodies...

this in Corinthians...

they have 'spiritual bodies'... but a body non- the- less...

they may appear to be human like.. but if put under an x-ray machine.. you would probably see something different...

they operate in the Supernatural and manifest in the Natural...

they' re those who did not partake in the Insurrection at the beginning and then there are those who did partake in the Insurrection at the beginning... and followed their Leader whose name is satan... these oppose God and His Plans.. and have believed they can be 'like God'... just like their leader..the prince of the power of the air: the god of this world...

they are a level above man...

God in His Humility partook of the Flesh and blood nature thru His Son Jesus.. who was made a little lower than the Angels... this clarifying that He did not have an angelic body.. but a human body like you and I... But Without Sin and Perfect.. this the Mystery of Godliness..

Angels do not have the chance at Redemption.. if they did then you would have fallen angels being redeemed and forgiven.. but Scripture tells us they will not be redeemed.. the fallen ones will be in the Lake of Fire... that was prepared for them..

whether an angel is made up of three parts... as a human being is..... I'm not sure.. they have 'spiritual bodies'... and from Scritpure we 'know' they have 'will' and 'intellect'.. some very very very smart.. and created that way.. and super Strong.. super human Strength....

a human has a soul, a spirit , and its flesh/blood.. the core vessel that contains the soul and spirit...

an angel has a 'spiritual body'.....but How that Spiritual Body is divided.. ?? they are smart and have intellect and will and have supernatural strength...

I know the Lake of Fire is prepared for the devil and his followers.. and the smoke of their 'torment' goes up forever.. so obviously they can 'feel' and ' have emotions'... and when you look to the Book of Revelation... it states Satan has come down to the earth with 'great wrath'.. that means he even has emotions.. anger, fury,.. etc...

Is it possible with angels being spirits can they indwell flesh? This is how they take human form??....... Do we not see this at the time of Noah and again at the 5th trumpet???.

Agree, I think.

Yes God is triune as he is three persons in one Godhead and can display these three seperately at one given time.

This is were we need to make a distinction between God and ourselves. Though we are triune, body, soul, and spirit we cannot exisit as three persons at one time. This to me is the real essence of triunity. Then is not saying we are triune beings really saying we are like gods....

Angels I agree are one natured......what is your take on the following verse.

Heb 1:14 Are they (angels) not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall be heirs of salvation?
