[daniel1212]

God has interacted with humans in very big, physical ways. Jesus as the very real God-man. The feeding of the 5000. Where did the additional mass come from? The resurrection. The parting of the Red Sea. Force field extraordinaire? The great flood. A planned planetary culling? Etc. Given that angels/demons would be much more limited than God, maybe all they can put together at one time are a few scraps of cool looking metal to amaze us with. Just sayin ...

But how about turning a rod into a serpent, and which (along with two of the first miracles thru Moses) the Egyptian magicians duplicated.

Then you have the Lord coming thru closed doors in a glorified physical body and yet eating food. (Lk. 24) Where did the food go?

Seeing as God could supernaturally do such as well as stop the rotation of the earth (Joshua), enable a donkey to speak, and take living humans (Enoch, Elijah) into the heavenly realm without dying, while send the dead lost into tormenting flames with bodily sensations, yet in which a drop of water could apparently exist, then it should not be inconceivable for angels to be given a degree of such power, and likewise devils.

Only when warranted is my guess. In their home realms of course one must assume they are always powerful. Sometimes there may be circumstances were an angel or demon is best for the job. But one can imagine in this universe they are things much bigger then Angel’s and demons.
