Usually racist white europeans painted pictures of angels and other persons to be white just so they can get closer to God. They always have a vision of angels being white and wings and flowing blond hair. But in the bible it says depending on the angel they have eye balls covering their backs, 4 wings, 4 faces : lion, man, bird, something else i forget. How do you think angels look like...intelligent answers please, dont ask where i got this since i just told you and no people who try to sound smart and say 'sorry to break it to you' but angels dont exist; if you think that then dont answer the question.

Angels don't look like anything. They don't have bodies. They can manifest themselves in different ways, but they don't have permanent physical appearances. They can be painted in different ways to symbolize angelic beings. For instance, the angels were painted with blond hair and blue eyes because that was the ideal of beauty in the artist's day: it has nothing to do with racism. In fact, our standards of beauty are very similar today. Also, angels are painted with wings to symbolize mobility: not having bodies, they are able to be amongst us one moment and before the throne of God the next.

They are spirit being - big and powerful.
They are MESSENGERS.
There are two kinds, THE GODS angels, and Fallen Angels.
The descriptions of angels varies with the teller - and purpose of the story.
Angels do not come to people with EXTRA KNOWLEDGE - these are either fallen angels, or demons.
The statues being collected by Angel COLLECTORS are rubbish.
Mankind are truly all one colour here on earth - see below.
Why sold angels be any different?
~~~~~~~~
All the people on this planet Earth are descendants from the first couple -
Adam and Eve. We are ALL just shades of that same colour !
Hold a sheet of Real White and Real Black paper up against your skin.
I can tell you "for certain" that your skin colour matches neither of these
paper colour samples. We are all "off white - or - BROWN !
WE ARE ALL OF THE SAME COLOUR because we are all indeed
descendants of that couple. Because of protective pigmentation we
are of different shades indeed.
What a beautiful example of how OUR MAKER designed us and built
a protective system into our skins to protect us from the suns rays !
Few people realize that The Bible does not say anything in opposition to
what is referred to as "mixed marriages". This is precisely why.
If "mixed marriages" do not work in our society, as it is today, it is because
of the arrogance of man. To "prove" superiority they often use gross
misinterpretations of Bible passages or misapply a Bible passage to
make it look like it proves them correct.

Angels are spirit creatures. They don' t have a definate look to them.They were known to take the form of man so that humans could see them. Yes, the bible speaks of the chariot with eyes all around and of the lion, eagle, bull and man. These are actually symbolic. I do know that the four creatures mentioned are the four aspects of God's qualities: Lion-(justice) Eagle- (far-sighted wisdom ) Bull(power) Man- (Love). The book of Revelation is rich in symbolic truths.

According to the Quran, angels are made of light and cannot be seen by humans. They have appared before Prophets and Pious People, such as Mary or Hazrat Mariam , in form of a Human being, but actually , no one has ever seen them,so no one can be too sure what their exact appearance is.

I have seen angels throughout my life. They are beautiful and intelligent. If you look to the Heavens and you see an angel, the angel will turn toward another direction, being that they are not supposed to allow us to see them. It is an amazing sight and a great gift to be able to see the angels.

I believe that angels appear to us in a way that we can most easily accept and be comfortable with them. So to white europeans that is usually with fair skin, blue eyes, and blonde hair, to someone who is Irish, Hispanic, Black, or Native American, I'm sure it would differ.

i'm too lazy to be racist, so here are a couple of good books to help with your research: *return of the angels* by gonzales-wippler; and *angels--companions in magick* by ravenwolf. they'll definitely picque your interest. angels and many other types of non-physical beings exist. the physical realm is only one of very many realms. enjoy!

go go GOOGLE.COM and type in
"Seraphim" in the images search bar and you will see
