Did you 2 see the story on the news? I am just reporting what I saw. I have always thought angels appear to people
the way our imaginations picture them. My aunt saw them as little children
when she had a heart attack and nearly died. Another person I knew was shot and nearly died and he saw his
mother and believed her to be an angel. Maybe it is all perception?
Well, I take my information about how angels are, from what I read in the Bible. From that, I can get clues as to how they appear. Just the fact that we are told that we can entertain angels unawares, tells me that they will appear in a way that makes it look like ordinary people. Other times we are told they appear in a form that is more impressive and glorious in their appearance, but those seem to be special times and not normally done that way.
And when I try and evaluate stories of angels, some criteria that I apply is that they don’t speak sometimes, but if they do, it’s very, very minimal and sometimes cryptic. They don’t interact extensively with people and act solely and totally as if they are on a *dedicated mission from God* with only one task at hand, at that moment and nothing else.
When they are done with their task (as God has specifically directed them), they are gone, quickly and almost instantly, without a word.
Also, the Bible has described men as always in the form of men. I don’t think I can recall a single instance in the Bible where angels are ever described in the form of a woman — never.
I’ve never seen an angel described, in the Bible, in the form of a child, either. Angels are the specifically created beings of God and He made them specifically the way they are and they are not shown or described as growing old or dying. They are immortal, in that respect (actually, we are immortal, too, as our souls go on forever and we will all be resurrected, saved or non-saved people — some raised up to everlasting life and others raised up to everlasting torment in the lake of fire).
Also, we have to keep in mind that the Bible tells us that Satan can disguise himself as an “angel of light”, too. So, that means we have to be wary about what we hear from angels — which is why I *do not believe* angels carry on conversations with people to tell them what to do or what to think. I think only the evil angels do that. I believe the angels from God avoid all of that.
So, it’s like we are told that *even* if an angel gives us another Gospel (other than what we have been given in the Bible) we are to ignore him. God’s angels don’t do that — but the evil angels that follow Satan do that...
Therefore, it’s not only the angels that God sends that we have visiting here, we also have the deceiving and evil angels who go around disguising themselves as “angels of light” in order to deceive people and draw them away from the Gospel of Jesus Christ...
“Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares.” Hebrews 13:2
If angels are seen by men, men would be unaware today that they are angels.
Obviously, if angels have wings (no Biblical authrotiy that they do; wings on angels come from Pagan sources and have been injected without authority in to some traditions of apostate Christendom), it would be difficult for them to be entertained “unawares.”
Study carefully 2 Corinthians chapter 11. Satan himself is TRANSFORMED into an angel of light.
Be very, very careful about flirting with “angels.”
Satan uses signs and LYING wonders to deceive men in their religiosity.
