How is it that angels can fight among themselves? Since they lack a material body, what kind of weapons can be used? An angel is a spirit, therefore the only combat they can engage in is of an intellectual kind.

I would ask for a Biblical source for this assertion, but I know I'd never get it.

What are you disputing? That angels are pure spirit, or that pure spirits can only engage in intellectual combat?

Do you need a Biblical source to draw inferences? What is so hard to understand about what he said there? Does an angel have a body? And if not, how can it possibly be said to fight?

Sheesh, it’s a wonder some of you put your pants on in the morning without a Bible in your other hand.

After I posted that, I regretted being so sarcastic. Should have made the same point without being so ornery. My apologies.
