There is a variety of angels, yes. You don't have to rely on the writings of the heretics either to learn about them as the canon of the Bible is sufficient to explain. When studying angels be very careful to stick to the canon, many of the heresies and false religions on this side of Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection are based upon erroneous beliefs about the angels.

For the studious Christian though, a good book about some of the varieties of the angels is the book of Ezekiel, especially the first chapter when the prophet Ezekiel is first called by Lord God Most High:

So the semen in the scripture is about replication, seeds from a sunflower would have been better no need for extreme visual application


Ezekiel 23:20
and lusted after their lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of stallions.

Many things could have been chosen for the representation of replication why go there
Can men ride on sunflowers? Can you put your trust in a sunflower? It does turn it’s face to the sun. A point possibly for you to consider? Meaning.....ask Holy Spirit.

And yet the Apocryphal (Apocrypha = hidden, secret) were included in the first printing of the 1611 KJV Bible. Placed between the Old Testament and the New and for their historicity. As was the case with many other Bibles editions as well.

Today the NSRV, the NA Bible, and the Revised Standard Version (RSV) include the Apocrypha.
With anything like this I believe with the advanced technology and discoveries we have had since 1611 to further critique Biblical manuscripts including to the point I just do not see Apocrypha as legitimate or verifiable.

All I can say is I hold to the 66 books as inspired. Anything else should compliment the scriptures. If any other source adds or takes away then I believe God commands in scripture to resist it.

Well compare to the book of Daniel chapter 10.

Daniel 10:5-6

5 Then I lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a certain man clothed in linen, whose loins were girded with fine gold of Uphaz:

6 His body also was like the beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his feet like in colour to polished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude.

Do you think he is a angel?

Yes, this is the messenger sent to Daniel to give him the visions of sorrows about the history of man (from Daniel's point in time, the future) and the end, and to also comfort and strengthen him because the Lord God loved Daniel.

Wow, you really don't know anything about Ehrman. That's too bad.
I know, without checking any references, that he studied at Moody Bible College, was a star student under Bruce Metzger (the premier Bible linguist of the late 20th century), was a promising apologist upon completion of his doctorate, and because of his own doubts, turned away from the Church. Now he's a professor in New Testament Studies at an Eastern college, and his lectures are the cause of many Christian students not only questioning their faith, but rejecting it. His books are used by atheists to support their position.

Nothing, indeed.

Any other empty comments you'd like to make?

That is Lord Jesus in his glorious resurrected form in that passage, he is the Alpha and Omega, praise Jesus for eternity.

The same in my opinion


Daniel 10:5-6

6 His body also was like the beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his feet like in colour to polished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude.

Rev 1:15
His feet were like fine brass, as if refined in a furnace, and His voice as the sound of many waters;

Dan 3
25He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.

Well Lord Jesus had not been resurrected to his form of glory at the time of Daniel. Also just a kind of fun detail is beryl is dark green.

Does your hate keep you up at night?
In your zeal you didn't even realize what you actually said there.Comment full of venom.
"I know without checking any references...."
The lack of grace shows me you know nothing.

From now on anything you say, the hatred, and all the slander, unto that this is my response for you to keep in mind.

You shall never know. God is love! Not hate.

Yawn...

Your comments are beyond silly and completely devoid of supporting evidence. Have a nice day.
