Michael perceives a contradiction because he sees the "one-third" and "two-thirds" of the "hosts of heaven" as all being angels.

The only way to avoid a contradiction that I see is if the two-thirds were comprised of both angels and another category of spirit beings. So does this mean that the one-third who were deceived were not all angels, and the two-thirds who were not deceived were not all angels? What is the difference between a "spirit personage" and an angel? As far as I know, in Protestant, Roman Catholic, and Eastern Orthodox thought, these "hosts of heaven" (the two-thirds not deceived and the one-third who were deceived) would all be angels. Apparently in Mormon thought they are not? Mormons, please help us understand your thinking here. Thanks. Peace be with you. David Miller, Beverly Hills, Florida. p.s. In Protestant thought, the one-third who were deceived are not the demons that roam the earth. Rather, they are imprisoned now in Tartarus, a place of hell specially reserved for them. ---------- "Let your speech be always with grace, seasoned with salt, that you may know how you ought to answer every man."
