Aug 17, 2016 at 17:08 comment added Nathaniel is protesting Some Christians think that angels are not merely spirits; as such this question is too broad/primarily opinion-based. See Do angels possess 1) a body, soul and spirit, 2) a soul and spirit or 3) just a spirit?

Aug 31, 2013 at 4:56 comment added user5286 @Mawia Here are some links that might be helpful. The first link exhausts the nature of Angels as far as Scripture goes. The 2nd is an except of Theology and Sanity by Frank Sheed. His definition of spirit is the best Christian philosophical presentation you will find in modern times. The third is a discussion by Dr. Peter Kreeft at Boston College about St. Thomas Aquinas' Angelic theology.

Aug 30, 2013 at 7:35 comment added user3961 Related, but only has one mediocre answer.
Aug 30, 2013 at 7:31 comment added user3961 Psalm 104:4 is interesting. It is quoted in Hebrews.
Aug 30, 2013 at 7:16 comment added user3961 Well, the differences in these translations leaves me confused. I'm eager to see what answers you get. Perhaps I will post on hermeneutics to get to the bottom of that.
Aug 30, 2013 at 7:13 comment added Mawia @fredsbend The question is actually not on God, but on angels. With the knowledge that God is spirit, and since angels are not human, it simply assumes that angels might also be spirits.
Aug 30, 2013 at 7:09 comment added user3961 To me, saying "a spirit" implies an individual kind of thing. Saying only "spirit" implies a description of being. It is the difference between definitions 1 and 4 found here.
Aug 30, 2013 at 6:55 comment added user3961 Both NIV and NASB lack the non-definitive article 'a'; they simply say "God is spirit" with the NASB giving a note "or Spirit". I think if you focus your question more on the text and what it means you will get more meaningful answers on the hermeneutics site. Or maybe I am having trouble understanding your question.
