What are the .lesser spirits. made of? Wherefrom they get their power? The question relates to whether these may be the lesser gods.
no idea mate .. we are not told .. nor is the question of much relevance to anything but Trinity doctrine .. which has nothing to do with the Jewish Bible Perspective angels.
If you are thinking "trinity doctrine" .. which is made up man made (demiurge) nonsense .. similar to the made up multiple infinity existentialist fallacy --- but an interesting question never the less .. as what does the Trinitarian say Angels are made of ? or more technically .. are the angels
"Homoousios" = of the same substance of God ?
This is a tough one for the trinitarian indeed .. as when Jesus was deemed by Emperor Constantine to be "Homoousios" -- of the same substance as God .. this is saying Jesus is God. To Greek Philosophy/Theology there are only two kinds of substances 1) that which God is made of .. 2) that which everything else is made of -- trees -earth - humans - Gold
In trying to explain angels .. the trinitarian has to wander into heretical gnostism .. speak in terms of an emanation from the Godhead .. or some similar idea with vague terms in futile effort to avoid the gnostic heresy.
The Big Trinitarian fail .. is the assumption that having some of the God Substance .. makes anything that has some of the God substance equal to God .. as opposed to Some have more power than others .. or you could have a "Supreme God" more of a primordial nature .. who has no interaction with humans .. and these Lower God entities who hafve great powers .. but not unlimited .. and each God with different powers .. varied in nature .. think if the All Spark in the Transformer movies .. The Transformer has nowhere near the power of the All spark .. but has just a little shard and from this it gains power. -- this would be more in line with the Jewish Bible perspective on the Gods .. the angels are on a rung lower .. actually beneath humans in the pyramid of Deut 32:43 (need a translation of an old bible as the newer ones strip out of the anything newer than the Masoretic Text 1000 AD.
"O heavens, rejoice with Him Bow to Him, all sons of the divine
O nations, rejoice with His people and let all angels of the divine strengthen themselves in Him.
For He’ll avenge the blood of His sons, be vengeful, and wreak vengeance and recompense justice on his foes
And the Lord will Cleanse His people’s land"
bit of an interesting passage given the Ethnic Cleansing going on in Gaza but I digress. So here we have the various actors celebrating with God in Heaven .. the heavenly beings (perhaps this a reference to the high gods .. or the heavenly bodies .. which is the same thing) Highest in the pecking order in heaven ... under which you have the "Sons of the divine" -- the famous "Sons of God" we hear so much about.. coming down from the sky and taking earth women as wives .. .. in any case .. these are the lesser Gods .. but still powerfull .. these include Gods such as Ha Satan and YHWH .. a God by name Jealous .. and at least 70 other sons of El and some from Enki as well .. who all battle over chief God over the earth .. Marduk eventually wining the crown .. defeating YHWH.
Underneath the heavens we have the nations of the eath .. obviously on earth and not in the heavens .. also rejoincing .. and only underneath that comes the angels.
For a giggle go check out this passage in a modern bible .. see how all the other divinities and meaning have been wiped clearn out of the passage .. in sad pious fraud .. attempting to hide the polygamous past.
humor --- to infinity and beyond !!!!!!!!!
