Where does it say angels are made of fire?
Christians can read the Bible and learn about Satan. It's all in there.
Not according to the Bible, it doesn't. Fire is a symbol of God's presence, and an instrument of judgement and spiritual purification.
The Bible describes God as “a consuming fire” (Hebrews 12:29), so it is not surprising that fire often appears as a symbol of God’s presence. Examples include the burning bush (Exodus 3:2), the Shekinah glory (Exodus 14:19; Numbers 9:15-16), and Ezekiel’s vision (Ezekiel 1:4). Fire has many times been an instrument of God’s judgment (Numbers 11:1, 3; 2 Kings 1:10, 12) and a sign of His power (Judges 13:20; 1 Kings 18:38).
The seraphs are angels are they not? yet they are made of fire.
Yet that fire is also light.......and also it is destructive/satanic. I never said desire is evil..it depends on how it is applied.
Seraphim has 2 meanings, one is angelic and the other is satanic ie serpents.
Basically the seraphs are jinns. Iblis/lucifer is a seraph..but actually funny thing is Michael, Gabriel, Israfil are also seraphs which means that are jinns (from an islamic pov but this is not commonly known but it is mentioned in a few places specifically that they were seraphs).
Most muslims do not realise this, since islam is pretty clear on the difference between angels and jinns ie light and fire.
But fire is also light....which is why iblis was ranked higher than the other 'angels' in the story of his fall. When God addressed the angels, iblis was also one of the addressed, which means he was clearly an angel, yet a jinn...
it's because of their dual nature, a jinn can be angelic or satanic.
^^ this is touching on islam so not really relevant to you. All you need to know is there are seraphs and they have dual nature.
In the case of satan masquandering as an angel of light, this doesnt negate the dual nature of seraphs. It just means that the lower destructive nature can masquander as higher enlightening nature. Just look at how humans follow materialism or are led to believe their shitty desires are somehow good.
So if you read up on the seraphim, they are the same, their fire is either enlightening or destructive depending on how it is directed.
About God
Deuteronomy 4
24 For the Lord your God is a consuming fire,a jealous God.
and Jesus said
Luke 12:49
"I have come to bring fire on the earth, and how I wish it were already kindled!
God's 'fire' is symbolic in relation to us, ie our own fiery nature....our own desire. it can also be wholesome or destructive. When it is wholesome then God manifests as Love, Mercy (ie His Shekinah) and When it is destructive then God manifests Fiery qualities , wrath, hell fire.
You said

yes it is all there and that is why you guys think Gabriel in islam is the devil.
'it is all in there'
Jesus said satan doesn't condemn satan when he was accused of taking out demons in the name of baal. the Quran is full of verses that condemn satan and say satan is our enemy and yet christians 'with knowledge' are saying 'no no this is different because satan masquanders as an angel of light, therefore your Quran is from satan because satan pretended'.
so satan created an entire scripture where he condemned himself, praised the God of Abraham as the only God, said 'there is no ilah/diety except God' meaning all satanic entities that desire worship, are rejected on account of the shahada and yet, somehow the shahada is from the devil.
This is christian logic.
that is why you guys notoriously accuse Mohammad SAW of being influenced by satan because his experience of Gabriel was a scary experience..and many christians mock that.
Christians clearly never paid attention to the experiences of prophet Daniel which were almost identical to Mohammed's (different contexts, but they were both terrified by their visions).
In the Quran we're told one of the helpers of Solomon AS posessed 'knowledge of the book' (the Torah) and he was able to teleport (tay al ard) because of this knowledge.
Yet billions of people have read the bible and not attained this depth of knowledge.
For me, it is about gaining greater insight in order to understand scripture and there is external knowledge and internal knowledge too.
Philo, the jewish philosopher, studied greek philosophy and through it, he understood the bible in ways that regular rabbis could not do.
I have repeated this point so many times yet you still fail to understand that 'truth' was in the bible yet seldom understood until someone with actual understanding through study/insight was able to see it there.
Proverbs 18:15
The heart of the discerning acquires knowledge, for the ears of the wise seek it out.
The jews have the old testament.
Show them Zechariah 11 or Daniel 7 or Daniel 9 or Isaiah 53 and watch them flat out tell you they disagree with you.
having the book doesnt mean anything ultimately, many muslims have the Quran where it says He inspired the disciples of Jesus and how He made the believers from bani israel (who believed in Jesus) victorious over the disbelievers........and yet most muslims who ever comment on christianity begin and end with attacks on Paul the apostle.
ironic that surah 17 supports both a jewish state and the future messianic kingdom but you know, that doesn't mean anything.
Just like the Quran tells muslims not to make the jews and christians our 'awliya' (guardians and protectors) but millions of beard bros and sisterprincesses do islam by protesting and petitioning to their non-muslim governments..raising awareness so the UN could veto against israel.
What is the point telling me a scripturee tells you everything you need to know if you pick and choose what to believe? I admit i don't know everything but at least i try to learn.
