“You cannot be seriously expect me or anyone else to take one reference to one angel and extrapolate it to all spiritual beings. Forgive me if I can’t take you seriously.”


lol, do you expect me to take these arguments seriously? If spirits are not bound to being in one location at a time... how come Gabriel is? Are some spirits made of a different spiritual material, that just isn’t as, uh, prone to multiple division as other spiritual bodies? Stop projecting your ridiculousness on me.

"Are some spirits made of a different spiritual material"

Spirits are not "made" of material at all. The notion that all creation must have material attributes and the consequential limitations is the heresy of materialism. Spirits have no volume and occupy no space, they are spaceless, because they are superior to the need for space. Spirits are partless. There is no element of a spirit which is not the whole of it.

We know from an exhaustive study of Scripture that there are nine distinct types of angels and each angel a unique species. We know that each human soul is a distinct and unique entity. To presume that all are equal does not comport with Scripture. At a minimum, some are saved and some are not. Some are holier than others. Mary, preserved sinless, is the holiest of all. To presume that She does not possess gifts that you and I do not or will not have is simply not worth discussing. Presenting these ideas under a new name does not give them new credibility.

Peace be with you.
