yes."... I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and His train filled the Hekhal (sanctuary). Above Him stood the Seraphim; each had six wings: with two he covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew."

If you must insist on going round saying that these things are imaginarythen you have no right to complain about them being able to see through wings that are imaginary. Tchoh!

Surely fiction doesn't make sense by definition?just because it hasn't happened.

Exactlyand what definitely doesn't make sense is going...
1) "This is all fiction!"
2) "How can they possibly see through wings that don't exist in the first place?!"

No it's notquite a lot of fiction isn't internally consistent, yet it's still comprehenedable.
I mean, yeah, shit fiction, but it's still fiction.

and the nephilim?a subset of angelic beings with human mothers?
the "watcher" angels?
the "sons of god"?
or a bunch or pasty face cowboy goths with a penchant for flour and electric hedgetrimmers?

HmmmI'm writing a short film about the Nephilim at the moment
but it'll probably turn out to be a serious rip-off of Hellraiser.

Oh? So in what context do cherubs exist outside of the bible?I'd wager that if you ask someone who's making cherub things where cherubs are from, they'll say the bible.

well they possibly appeared in the Tanakh firstthen the bible, but I've read interpretations in many works of fiction. Then there are people who paint cherubs (fat babies with wings) with no religious conotation whatsoever in the artist's mind.
But the point is cherubism the medical condition is named after the chubby babies in paintings, not the original source of those images be they large men with spears or creatures like this:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Human_headed_winged_bull_facing.jpg which is a Shedu and possible original basis for the Cherubim.
It's like a bit like calling a vaccuum cleaner a hoover when its a dyson.

My understanding of Eros/Cupidis that he was able to appear to man in any form he chose (I mean age of person actually )
I may be mistaken, it's been 25 years since I did any classical studies.
