The comments of others are quite correct. #1 is way off. The normal representation is scripture of an angel is with physical form. You wrestle with them, they eat, speak, walk, hold swords, are mistaken for people etc. You can try to imagine miraculous ways for a spirit to do all that, but there is no reason to twist the obvious, they had physical form.

Also, just because it says they do not marry nor are given in marriage does not mean they are sexless. In fact quite the contrary. There would be no point in even making such a statement if they were not capable of such. My wife argues that the female angels are the ones around the throne worshipping, and the male angels are the soldiers that do God’s bidding on earth.

Further, it is widely believed the nephalim giants were children of fallen angels which cohabited with earth women. That would require fully functional bodies, or once again you can take it upon yourself to assume unspoken miraculous conceptions.

Finally let’s consider singing. Unfortunately I don’t have my Greek resources available right now to see the use of the word “Saying”. However in Revelation 5 four beasts and 24 elders having harps sang ...and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the beasts and the elders ...saying with a loud voice
While it doesn’t explicitly in English say the angels sang, it is implied and, there was certainly a large gathering of many creatures all together which were singing and using musical instruments. You may try to argue that because of the word “saying” in the verse that the angels were the only ones NOT singing, but I sure wouldn’t want to walk out on that thin branch.

but I sure wouldn’t want to walk out on that thin branch.

Right, I believe it is pretty easy to walk on a thin line when ever we start trying to figure many things in the scriptures out.

For instance I believe (but would not bet on it) that there were two parts to the creation, therefore the sons of god being Adam and his descendants being the sons of God who married the daughters of men who were created in the first part of the creation, Oh well.
