Westminster Confession on Divine plurality & the unseen realm

Never posed as a question in these terms

THE POSITION

The question is never posed. Chapter 2 is titled 'Of God, and of the Holy Trinity' and treats divine unity, simplicity and the three persons; the elohim of Psalm 82 and Deuteronomy 32 are nowhere in view, and neither passage appears in the Assembly's proof texts for that chapter. The only other spiritual beings the Confession recognises are angels, and it speaks of them only as creatures - elect and reprobate (3.3), capable of sin (5.4), and to be judged at the last day (33.1). WCF 21.2 is the nearest the document comes to the locus's question, and it settles a worship question rather than an ontological one. What was checked is all thirty-three chapters and the Assembly's proofs for chapters 2, 3, 5, 21 and 33. The tier is contested rather than researched because no quotation can establish an absence - the cite below shows the category the Confession does use, not a ruling on the one this locus asks about.

ABOUT THIS FIGURE

The confessional standard of English-speaking Presbyterianism, completed by the Westminster Assembly in 1646 and adopted with its Scripture proofs. This entry rests on the 1646 text from the manuscript of Cornelius Burges as edited by S. W. Carruthers (1937) for chapters 1-24, and on the 1647 text for chapters 25-33; the Assembly's own proof texts attached to each paragraph supply every reference below.
