If God and the Angels, fallen or not, are immortal, why do they chase each other with swords? They can't die.

Update:

The question is not about swords. It's about whether true immortals can destroy each other. What does the word immortal mean?

    well, they don't actually use swords, the sword represents the word of God (bible) so when the angels fight for you agianst demons they are actually fighting the spirits inside of the demons, and you and i and the angels fight by knowing what the word of god says and declaring bible verses out loud when you feel you are under attack. there is power in the name of Jesus and the words that he says so when Jesus's name is mentioned with authority throiugh scripture it makes the demons flee. its kind od hard to explain i'm sorry. And im not sure if angels can die or not, but I do know that after the tribulation happens the devil and all of his demons and the people who didn't ask Jesus to be their saviour and didnt follow the lord they will all be cast into the lake of fire that burns eternally.

    So my advice to you would be to ... get saved ...and who wouldnt want to follow someone who laid down there life for you and went to hell for three days so you wouldnt have to because he loved you so much.and He is waiting for you!!!

    God bless you

    God is God, and we aren't

    God shows us revelations in a manner which we can comprehend. Swords do not necessarily connote death. I think we can agree with exhaustion, pain, and perhaps temporary disability. I think it is obvious that St. Michael is an angel, not God. Ahhhhh. God has faithful servants to do deeds. What they go against cannot be good.

    Holy Scripture says that the word of God should be used to fight evil. Thus, among others a sword symbolizes the word of God.

    God is eternal and never chased anyone with a sword.

    Angels, we don't know if they are indeed immortal. We just know they are lower than God and above us in the rank of things.

    It makes just about as much sense as an immortal god dying for our sins...in other words,not much.

    they don't chase each other with swords. That's an artist concept of a battle between good and evil.

    Good question! I guess that they can be hurt. Nor are their weapons what we would think of as swords or shields etc. "The tongue is a double-edged sword" according to scriptures. So, what they think of as weapons may be to us a thoughtless word.

    I am not sure they do.

    But there is a power of Gods Angels. And the Devil was kicked out of heaven. He didn't get kicked out without being forced to.

    the secret of the "fallen angels" is largely the secret which lies at the back of the very Plan of evolution, for the image voltaic angels' willingness to "fall", to sacrifice themselves with the intention to hold the mild of the belief of innovations to what became then animal guy, marked the getting into action of the super regulation of Duality by making use of which count number, form—damaging and passive—must be quickened by making use of spirit. This act of sacrifice on the break of day of human historic previous is a thread woven by using the super scriptures and mythologies of the international, which includes the parable of Prometheus who stole fire (innovations) for guy, and the biblical tale of the Prodigal Son, who left the daddy’s living house to embark upon the process journey interior the life of form and the senses—the journey to "the a techniques united states of america". The function of the image voltaic angels and their sacrifice on behalf of humanity is pronounced at length interior the secret Doctrine by making use of H.P. Blavatsky. in fact, in 1887 the magazine of the Theosophical Society took "Lucifer" as its call in an attempt to hold readability to what it acknowledged as an unfairly maligned sacrificing angel. The call "Lucifer" comes from the Latin words, Lux or Lucis (mild) and ferre (to hold); for this reason Lucifer actually skill "mild-bearer". it quite is linked with the planet Venus in Revelations XXII: sixteen while Christ says "i'm the outstanding morning action picture star", that's Venus, heralding the getting into finished mild of the solar—the Son, the Christ. curiously the function of "mild-bearer" is linked with Mercury, or Hermes—the divine messenger for the Gods in Greek and Roman mythology. In Christianity Mercury’s function is served by making use of St. Michael, "the Angel parent" of Christ, in accordance to St. Thomas. The esoteric interrelationship of this Angel parent and Christ is further illumined interior the fact by making use of the Tibetan instructor with whom Alice Bailey collaborated to jot down a chain of books on the Ageless information, that "Mercury and the solar are one".

    Angels were never given choice.

    The idea of fallen Angels is a fallacy.

    Devils are Jinns - a seperate creation that are made of fire and are shapeshifters.

    Angels are made of light and are created to only obey.
