ANGELS SEXLESS
July 9.
When they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage:
but are as the angels which are in heaven,—Mark 12:25.
THERE is no distinction of sex among the angels. This is
implied in the answer which was given by our Savior to the
question that the Sadducees put to him in regard to the future
relation of a woman who was supposed in this world to marry in
succession seven husbands. —Patterson.
The angels are sexless. Like man, they were created "with
reasonable and immortal souls," but unlike him, they were not
''created male and female. " "They neither marry nor are given
in marriage, but are as the angels of God." Angels, being sexless,
are not a race or species of creatures. They are created one
by one, as distinct and separate individuals. This is proven by
the fact that they do not have a common character and history ;
some remain holy and some relapse into sin. —Shedd.
To angels the heavens' illimitable height
Not this round heaven which we from hence behold,
Adorn 'd with thousand lamps of burning light,
And with ten thousand gems of shining gold.
He gave as their inheritance to hold,
That they might serve Him in eternal bliss.
And be partakers of these joys of His.
- Spenser.
For spirits when they please
Can either sex assume, or both—so soft
And uneompounded is their essence pure,
Not tied or manacled with joint or limb,
Xor founded on the brittle strength of bones,
Like cumbrous flesh ; but in what shape they choose,
Dilated or condensed, bright or obscure,
Can execute their airy purposes
And works of love or enmity fulfil.
—Milton. |
