Do all Angles have wings



Do all Angles have wings???


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?

Unintentional Sin

I came across a verse this morning while working on my Wed night Bible study ( James is still asleep were in Kansas At the Races) Its a verse I looked up besides what was used.
Ps 26:2
Prove me, O LORD, and try me;
test my heart and my mind.

How much stronger might a Christian be or a better witness in everyday life might one be,if in the morning and evening we asked God to Prove me or Examine me Show me what things or sins I committed unintentionally so that I may not do it again. This is the same thought behind Job 34:32" teach me what I do not see;
if I have done iniquity, I will do it no more’?"
My thought on this is ,are there sins we unintentionally ( we know what we may intentionally do )commit and others see and say hypocrite . I'm not giving an excuse for sin I'm saying  Show me God so I may not sin.

Are Angels Persons


This question came up in Bible Study Wed night: Is Lucifer a person?
First what is a person ? And does a person need a physical body ? Or is it person hood that we should be looking at ? If you have person hood does that make you a person?

Here is the definition according to Dictionary .com
person
[pur-suh n] 
noun
1.a human being, whether an adult or child:
2.a human being as distinguished from an animal or a thing.

4.Sociology. an individual human being, especially with reference to his or her social relationships and behavioral patterns as conditioned by the culture.

Person

noun 

1.(Christianity) any of the three hypostas es existing as distinct in the one God and constituting the Trinity. They are the First Person, the Father,the Second Person, the Son, and the Third Person, the Holy Ghost

How does the second definition fit the first when only the second person (Jesus the son has a physical body.)
As the word person relates to God ,and the angels maybe its person hood that should
be looked at.
Does person need flesh and bone? First we have to define what “person” means before we can determine if God is a person. Some people think that a person must have a body of flesh and bones, but theologically speaking “personhood” does not necessitate that. Instead, personhood is defined as having a will, self-awareness, emotions, being able to recognize others, speaking, etc. Therefore, angels would be persons since they have wills, speak, etc. God would be a person, too. However, the Christian doctrine of God is that He is comprised of three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. We call this the Trinity. We say that God is three persons because we see that the Father is called God (Phil. 1:2), the Son is called God (Heb. 1:8), and the Holy Spirit is called God (Acts 5:1-4). Each has a will (F, Luke 22:42; S, Luke 22:42; HS, 1 Cor. 12:11) and speaks (F, Matt. 3:17; S, Luke 5:20; HS, Acts 13:2) So, can God be said to be a person? Yes. And how do we tell if He is a person? We simply look at the requirements of being a person, such as speaking, being aware of others, having a will, loving, etc.; and we see that God most certainly expresses the attributes of person hood. (Matt Slick Carm.org )

If the bold print above describes person hood and having person hood makes you a person ,then yes Lucifer is a person ,all the angel s are persons .

 Just a quick possible answer .
