Hi Doc, That is the point. Cherubims have wings Angels do not. They are different types of creatures. Scripture has always seperated them to their specific duty. I hope you're not getting an association from the word "angelic". terrib |

Dear Terrib, It is hard to discern the roots of our associations, or to root them out when they are incorrect. Some of our impressions about angels is rooted in Medieval angelology. They rank them from seraphim, cherubim, thrones, dominations or dominions, virtues, powers, principalities, archangels, and angels. But I'm not certain that their thinking was always rooted in Scripture. Modern ideas of angels are probably even less well grounded! I rather think of a distinction between material creatures (natural) and spiritual creatures (supernatural). There's a wide variety of material (though not sentient) creatures. Again, it wouldn't surprise me to find variety in the spirit world as well. That would be, however, at least partially based on speculation. In Him, Doc PS I can't find any Scripture reference for angels singing, either -- can you? They also all seem to be masculine in gender, but that might be an artifact of the language. (Certainly we could demonstrate from the words of Christ that they are without gender.) |

Doc: All this learned talk about angels on this thread and no one yet has tackled the question of how many angels will fit on the head of a pin. .... Sigh. .... Inquiring minds want to know. :-) --Hank | ||||||
