Biblically, do angles have wings or sing carols?

[DrWearWord]

I heard "the way" once say in a teaching somewhere that, biblically, angels are never once attributed to having wings or singing carols. Cherubs (closely associated with angels) certainly are attributed to having wings and is seems seraphims (whatever they are) have several sets of wings. Eagles have wings, doves have wings. Why is it such a wide spread belief that angels fly upon wings and sing. Does the book of Enoch perhaps attribute wings to angels? Is it some apocryphal book of gnosticism that attributes wings to angels? Any info on the subject would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

It would seem that even cherubs would run out of oxygen if they were to fly too high up into the atmosphere. :)

Sorry about the typo in the title, my spell check is possessed. Correction angels not angles. :) Not sure why we can't or how to edit the titles of our posts.

Here are a couple of links I dug up on Google.

Yes, I'm simply too lazy to research it myself...

So it is finally settled! "maybe" they have wings and sing, maybe not.

"angels we have heard on high..." :)

Willie said they have wings.

That's good enough for me!

maybe wings would present the

ability to not be held by gravity

or able to move air to ascend and descend

so wings can be representing and descriptive

Cherubim and Seraphim are referred to as having wings as you said. Oftentime the wings were added in artwork to distinguish an angel from a human. But noooooo, TWI had to make a big deal about ot as if it meant something. :wacko:
