Heaven Is For Real Review Part 2

Colton says Jesus wears Purple and white. but Rev 19:13 speak of a robe dipped in blood.
Colton say's Jesus wounds are visible.Well sure they are Christ showed them to Thomas
 John 20:27 Then he said to Thomas, "Put your finger here, and see my hands; and put out your hand, and place it in my side. Do not disbelieve, but believe."If He had his wounds after his resurrection then we need to ask was Christ in his glorified body at resurrection or was it at his ascension to Heaven ..I'm going to say at resurrection and because he had his wounds here of course he would have them in Heaven.
Colton said everyone has wings .Really ! Christ is our example in every aspect of Christianity even being resurrected. In our glorified bodies.There is no mention of wings. Lets take a little rabbit trail.
How do we know angels have wings? We know the 4 living creature ( Seraphim )did they had six wings and full of eyes all around Rev 4:And the four living creatures, each of them with six wings, are full of eyes all around and within, and day and night they never cease to say, "Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come!"
These creature ,if I remember right are a type of angel. So do all angels have wings? Cherubim have wings Ex 25:20a The cherubim shall spread out their wings above, overshadowing the mercy seat with their wings.,Seraphim have wings six wings I think these are the same creatures in Rev 4 
Above him stood the seraphim. Isa 6:2 Each had six wings:  with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew.
Then there are 2 woman that have wings like a stork Zechariah 5:9
Then I lifted my eyes and saw, and behold, two women coming forward! The wind was in their wings. They had wings like the wings of a stork, and they lifted up the basket between earth and heaven. This is the only time a female is mentioned as a possible angel ,there is debate about this just one interpretation or two.One school of thought is these woman are some sort of Heavenly being  possibly angels , the other is these are demonic beings because the woman in the basket is called wickedness and the wings are described as stork wings ,a stork is a unclean bird . So is there any more references to angels with Wings.Not that Ive found.That doesn't mean there isn't but I didn't find any.So to say that all angels have wings by the examples we have ,then we need to ask two wings or six or do the description above just apply to the angels mentioned.I think it just apply s to the ones mentioned.besides angels are spirit so why wings?
To get back to the original remark from Colton "everyone has wings " NO!  Christ is the example this will end part two part three to come sometime next week.
