What does the Bible say about the angels that sinned?
Answered in 1 source
The Bible indicates that the angels who sinned were cast down to hell and reserved for judgment, serving as a warning against false teachers.
In 2 Peter 2:4, the Scripture confesses that God did not spare the angels who sinned, instead casting them down to hell. Peter connects this judgment with historical examples of God's judgment on the ungodly, like the flood and the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. The context of this passage reveals these angels as representatives of false teachers, who, like Satan himself, can transform into deceptive figures masquerading as ministers of righteousness. Their ultimate fate serves as a solemn reminder of the seriousness with which God regards those who mislead His people and corrupt His truth.
