Well, I am an agnostic atheist. But I was a Christian for a long time. I would have found you a rather ludicrous fellow Christian even when I was one. So my posts here - even if I were still a Christian - would probably rub you up the wrong way and render you incapable of discussing anything properly or - indeed - representing your religion on a non-Christian forum in a reasonable way.

For some reason I’m reminded of Stephen Rea’s smirking portrayal of Santiago in Interview with a Vampire 1994

Serious (theological) question.
All thoughts, scriptures, rational, literalisms and metaphors welcome.

Presumably, people thought they must have wings if they are always flying 'up' to Heaven and back 'down' to earth in the course of their duties.
"I mean, seriously, how could they do that without wings?" 😕
And so much so that we are programmed now to understand that a human-looking person with wings in paintings must be a depiction of an angel.
I think it's more likely that they are multi-dimensional beings traveling through dimensions.
