Mine too, but that may change when they grow up.

Actually, we are not told what they look like, but I believe the scriptures indicate that they can change their appearance.

Huge humans that appear to have an ambient bronzish' glow! Probably about ten foot tall in human form.

Really I don't have a clue. As is true of most of the time when I post.

Being I know they are not real, and even though your bible said they are all male, I still like the one’s at Victoria’s Secrets best.

Like what's-his-name in the movie, Michael?

According to the Bible, angels -- those that are God's messengers, are men, aren't they? Michael, the Archangel. Gabriel.

In other story forms, they may be female. I tend to like the little cherubs, much like Aphrodite's son is often portrayed in paintings.

I think of angels as really good-looking guys, that say reassuring things and remind us that God loves us and that things will be okay.

Actually, I think that women have guy angels as their guardian angels, and guys have girl angels.

So what do you think an angel looks like? Can they change forms? And if so what do you think their true form looks like?

Does anybody on the forum have any personal experiences with Angels...do you think you've every seen one? If so give details. I've met some wonderful people that to me were angels...hmmmm I wonder
maybe some look like this...... (the bad fallen angels? demons?)



or like this.........(most accurate based on accounts from ancient civilizations about beings coming from the sky and religous text like the Book of Enoch and the Book of Noah where angels are described as having skin white as snow and hair white as wool) Ironically thats the same exact description of the "tall white aliens" of today and the "star gods" in ancient Native American culture. So there is truth to this because the descriptions are all the same. I happen to believe that angels and aliens are the same anyway.



This is inaccurate... wings are just symbolic for their capabilty of flight. How they fly may be more complex and mechanical than people think............People need to open their minds a little because the world and our existance is different from what we perceive it to be or what we "have been fed". The truth may be harder to swallow than inaccurate beliefs.

I think angels can appear in any form that is appropriate for whatever work or message they are delivering..I think they are neither male nor female, but can appear as either, they are spiritual..

they are physical entities as well. The Book of Genesis and The Book of Enoch talks of fallen angels mating with earth women, taking them as wives and producing a hybrid offspring called "The Nephilim" or "Giants". They are physical beings as well. You mention angels being sexless. The Bible makes reference to that. Also consider that aliens have been described as having no sex organs. which means if they produced offspring with human women in ancient times, it had to be an unnatural process (advanced genetics) much like what happens in "alien abductions". Some aliens have also been described as having the ability to walk through walls which seems to go against our current understanding of physics. People will soon understand that angels and the alien phenomina are all the same. These beings are both physical, spiritual and interdemensional....Folks reality isnt what it seems!

I know that I had a beautiful experience when I was having a horrible time with my life....I cant tell you why this happened but I know it was an angel in the pressence of God!

I was believe it or not standing in the mirror in my bathroom. I remember leaning all of the sudden against the wall....That was the last thing I remembered. ALL OF THE SUDDEN I felt myself in this "GREAT" light... Nothing Ive ever experienced before. I felt joy like nothing I felt before. I forgot about everything Ive ever known at that pont including my family. Then I saw this form...Great light almost shear! It was beautiful. We communicated without words. And I remember giggling in my head saying to this presence that "this isnt what I always thought wings looked like!" The wings were almost a bubble type form rather than a pointed wing...This image had a beautiful crown of woven gold and had butterflies and flowers all around it....I saw no face...no feet...but I felt power and beauty all around it...Peace....

This image slowly drifted away...I I kept begging in my non verbal voice to please dont leave! PLEASE show me more...I felt very close to heaven! I didnt want it to go away! It did.... I came back from that place leaning on the wall of my bathroom.... Shocked that this happened.... This I will never forget... And this is the absolute truth...

I feel very blessed to have experienced this angel, and when my father passed this year I had compfort knowing how it was to be around an angel and the presence of God....Its beautiful!
