I'm on my school's wrestling team, have won a few competitions and I can lift almost 300 lbs. Do you think I could beat an angel?

If Jacob could do it, why couldn't I?
I suspect you're overestimating angels.

Angels are tricksy though. I mean, wrestling was the big pastime upstairs according to the delicious fictions of Paradise Lost, and according to some Biblical references too...Possibly, you might be able to beat a couple of the younger, less experienced angels. But dudes like the Archangel Michael...he's a bit nuts, and does the whole "will of God frenzy" thing...Next to him, I think possibly we're talking Nacho Libre territory here :o)

No. Angels are perfect, immortal spirit creatures who are highly intelligent and capable of things we can not fathom.
Angels are also perfectly organized and comprise a heavenly army led by Jesus Christ. Nothing can defeat an angel with God's divine backing.
Not even you, Mr. Iron Man.
I suspect you overestimate yourself. GET OVER IT!

No. there is a story in the Bible about a man who wrestled with an angel, he lost. Angels are not to be messed with, even if you could, they are hot wired directly to God.

One angel killed 185,000 Assyrians in one night,the Bible records tell us.
Angels are powerful spirit creatures.Man is no match.
And to correct danni they are not immortal.
