Question
In the book of Daniel the Prince of Persia(which I understand to be a demon) resists an angel of God for 21 days. Also there are spiritual wars mentioned in the Bible. How do spirit beings fight if they are not physical creatures? They don't die. They are not "physicly injured". But apparently they can somehow "resist" or "withstand" and invade. (Satan attempted to invade Heaven.)Thank you.
Hi
Thaanks for this great question. I am not sure exactly how angels and demons fight. I just know that they do. I do not believe that the Bible gives us any specific insight as to how they fight.
I am sorry that I can't help you more than that.
In Christ
Pastor Dom

Expertise
I believe that every word of the Bible is God-Breathed. This blessed book is the foundation of truth for faith and practice. If you ask this volunteer a question you will receive an answer from the Bible that is based upon a litteral, normal interpretation, taking into account the grammar and culture of the time.
Experience
I have been in the ministry almost 20 years. During this time, the Lord has used me as Senior Pastor, counsellor, youth pastor and generally in the equipping of the saints for the work of the ministry.
