It is a pretty strong misconseption that has a lot to do with Peter Paul Reubens paintings.
The seraphim and cheribums looked nothing like 'cupid.' In many cases they were fierce warriors with six wings or in some cases very astounding looking creatures.

Cherub - An angelic creature of high rank having special duties, they are mentioned 91 times in the bible. After God drove out Adam and Eve from the garden they were posted at the E entrance with a flaming blade of a sword to guard the way to the tree of life According to testimony of ancient Jewish tradition cherubs had human form, the Bible is silent on this matter. They were angelic creature of glorius beautyand were made in every detail 'according to the pattern' Moses received from Jehovah himself. Ex 25:9 Wings of cherubs offered both guardin protection and swiftness in travel. So David, in poetic song described the speed with which Jehovah came to his aid.

Because it's another one of the many things early Christianity "borrowed" from Paganism in order to make believers out of the Pagans.

"Cherubim" IS A PLURAL WORD!!! adding an "s" to it makes you look ignorant.
