What does an angel look like?

Perhaps angels evolved from fairies. They both have wings.

Angel archetypes predate the existence of fairies. Though they are generally based on the same original. Fairies didn't come to the fore until christianity was widespread, They were also (in western Europe) remembered dead kings, hence living underground in barrows and originally were not small humanoids, but ◊◊◊◊◊◊◊ huge well muscled warriors with big swords and horses. There is a reason that Lucas chose "Sith" to represent characters like Vader.

Robert Cardinelle From what I could tell briefly, he has done some things wrong in his life , that he was taught to refrain from and that he regrets. In his mind, he has arrived at the realization of the promise of penalties for violating his light. He harbors a lot of guilt perhaps for serious transgressions. The sad thing is that he has no understanding of any ... See Morephysical, mental or spiritual means for deliverance from his torment.

His mental anguish is real. Details of his experience and associated mental anguish bear general resemblances to actual spiritual places and conditions in this world and the “world to come," however, they can be attributed to his level of knowledge according to the tenets of his religion. No doubt, if he is sincere, he will never forget this experience and it will have an impact on how he views his past and his future actions.

As you can see, I do not discount that he had this experience; I simply express no confidence in its inspiration. It promotes a spirit of fear, which can be discerned as an effort to compel by threat of torment. Such is contrary to the rule of God. His explanation and descriptions possess some truth (so do most things), but as we attribute truth to pieces of a puzzle, his pieces are not rightly fitted together. So the image (or message) they create is distorted and has limited usefulness. .

My Mormon friend said this about the video.

I have a feeling the Jewish man would likely believe something similar about your Mormon friend's beliefs.

Youd be right sir. Mormons are admirable in the way they stress the importance of education, healthy living and hard work but they tend to be arrogant. The Lds fiith is a fabricated religion but are they any more guilty than any other religion? My atheist Mentor Police captain jack Finklebaum used to chide me when I said how fake the religion was with this statement. I donn't beliieve Mooses went up a mountain and recieved the ten commandments form god either so why single out or pick on the Mormons? They are no more guilty of nonsense than any religion.

Just for the record I'm a miss (missus, actually). :) I agree it's all fairly equal. Each group thinks they have THE truth, and they have all sorts of clever arguments to support why. The truths tend to be all different in significant ways and there is no solid evidence, just lots of arguing.

As hot as she is, she doesn't compete with my Scarlett.
As matter of fact, last night I dreamt I was making out with her... and then Paul McCartney cheated on me so I tossed him against the floor and dislocated his shoulders.

The castrated (de-winged) McCartney's dislocated shoulders (wings) mirror "your" Scarlett's (cf Linda's) broken wings , broken by you so she can't escape your evil, satanic attentions!
 

These angels were produced in the stripper factory right next to the beer volcano. Thank you FSM.

Why do the angels need high heels and to be out and about in their underwear?
 
Well, according to the Bible...
***
Ezekial 1:1
In the thirtieth year, in the fourth month on the fifth day, while I was among the exiles by the Kebar River, the heavens were opened and I saw visions of God.

2 On the fifth of the month—it was the fifth year of the exile of King Jehoiachin-
3 the word of the LORD came to Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, by the Kebar River in the land of the Babylonians. There the hand of the LORD was upon him.


4 I looked, and I saw a windstorm coming out of the north—an immense cloud with flashing lightning and surrounded by brilliant light. The center of the fire looked like glowing metal,
5 and in the fire was what looked like four living creatures. In appearance their form was that of a man,
6 but each of them had four faces and four wings.
7 Their legs were straight; their feet were like those of a calf and gleamed like burnished bronze.
8 Under their wings on their four sides they had the hands of a man. All four of them had faces and wings,
9 and their wings touched one another. Each one went straight ahead; they did not turn as they moved.

10 Their faces looked like this: Each of the four had the face of a man, and on the right side each had the face of a lion, and on the left the face of an ox; each also had the face of an eagle.
11 Such were their faces. Their wings were spread out upward; each had two wings, one touching the wing of another creature on either side, and two wings covering its body.
12 Each one went straight ahead. Wherever the spirit would go, they would go, without turning as they went. 13 The appearance of the living creatures was like burning coals of fire or like torches. Fire moved back and forth among the creatures; it was bright, and lightning flashed out of it.
14 The creatures sped back and forth like flashes of lightning.
***
23 Under the expanse their wings were stretched out one toward the other, and each had two wings covering its body.
24 When the creatures moved, I heard the sound of their wings, like the roar of rushing waters, like the voice of the Almighty, like the tumult of an army. When they stood still, they lowered their wings.

25 Then there came a voice from above the expanse over their heads as they stood with lowered wings.
26 Above the expanse over their heads was what looked like a throne of sapphire, and high above on the throne was a figure like that of a man.
27 I saw that from what appeared to be his waist up he looked like glowing metal, as if full of fire, and that from there down he looked like fire; and brilliant light surrounded him.
28 Like the appearance of a rainbow in the clouds on a rainy day, so was the radiance around him.

This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. When I saw it, I fell facedown, and I heard the voice of one speaking.
***

So, possibly two different kinds of angels. Interesting description of God too.

Of course, this was just a vision, or perhaps a vivid dream. Maybe God was just messing with ol Zeke. Or Maybe the prophet got some bad hummus that night.

From what I have heard, from stories told to me, descriptions, from people I have known, that say they have had contact for whatever reasons, they are like us, unless they reveal themselves in subtle ways.
