If Angels And Demons Can't Die, What Is The Point Of Their Engaging In Battle? by OLAADEGBU(m): 6:53pm On Jan 06, 2016
If angels and demons can't die, what is the point of their engaging in battle? If angels and demons are immortal, why do they bother fighting each other?

They are enemies and enemies fight. They are not mortal enemies (pun intended) so they don't fight to kill. Don't over analyse it.

The Bible says that believers who die and go to heaven are like angels.

So can we take it that saints fight for us like angels too?

Hehehe!

It's about control of/rule over men

We have our own fights against each other For the same reason too

demons can manipulate and attack christians but can't possess them.When christians pray,angels are sent to fight on their behalf.So it's because of our prayers,that angels are sent.There is then a clash btw the angels and demons concerning you.

Revelations 12 shows us the major purpose is expulsion and dominion and their battle is based on the positioning of the roots on either side - man! That is why the victory of the Heavenly host in Revelations 12 is linked to the faith of the saints on earth in Rev 12:11.

Their struggle has nothing to do with Life and Death. Death is an evil spirit, wicked and corrupt messenger(demon) of Devil, also known as Satan in Heaven. Life is a Righteous Spirit, Angel of Christ Jesus. Christ therefore possesses Light, Goodness and Life among others, while Satan(Devil) is the spirit of darkness, badness and death. Like a Director of Engineering services and Quality Control in NNPC, he bears responsibility to Management for the costs of all sample damages in the course of his duties in his reports. The CEO, the Chief Creator of NNPC reports to the Board of which Mr. President is the Chairman and like God, while the CEO is his deputy God and always acts for him. The real reason therefore for the struggle between darkness and light, selfishness and righteousness is to present themselves(Satan and Christ) worthy of their "Status" before God Almighty, their Overall Boss, The all Knowing Supreme Power, Might, Wealth, Honour, Excellence etc etc. ALUTA CONTINUA!!!!

Demons cannot possess someone when the person has the Spirit of God in him or her.The people i call christians are those who are born again and once someone becomes a believer,he receives the seal of a believer(the Holy Spirit).A believer can only be manipulated,attacked or oppressed by demons or the devil as in the case of peter(he was manipulated).

Silly logic.
It presumes fighting finds its purpose in death. Have you ever fought in your life?
If you are ancient enough to have sired, ever had your kids especially boys fighting? We're they trying to slay each other?

So they fight to bound, yet they use swords? Abi what is the use of sword? Lol

This is just evidence that religion is based on human fabrication.
You see angels with swords and shield mentioned in the bible, yet they can't use the sword to kill demons. Yet angels don't die.

Comedy central.
Just hear yourself.
You say it is about control of men, so what was the war in revelations about? Where the devil was cast out of heaven? Why must they fight, does it mean the devil actually had a chance of dethroning god? Cos fight means to travail. Fighting involves struggling with your opponent. You don't expect me to be fighting with a cockroach. Yet your god is all powerful, but angels have to be fighting

First, take a deep breath. You are out of control. Are you asking a question or making a statement. It's hard to tell.

Fighting? Definitely.

We'd also need to go into the definition of the sword. Which, because I get the feeling you search out the bible. Look for places where God refers to His sword.

You are right, the word of God is a sword, when in its season, and power.

I was referring to this kind of sword. ...

Ezekiel 30:24
And I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and put my sword in his hand: but I will break Pharaoh's arms, and he shall groan before him with the groanings of a deadly wounded man.

How did the Angels of God execute that sword?
