To amuse fanciful human beings.

They are ministers or servants of God. They appear all over scripture. Some guard the very throne of God. Where do they dwell? Also some are fallen.

Hebrews 1:14
Amplified Bible (AMP)

14 Are not the angels all ministering spirits (servants) sent out in the service [of God for the assistance] of those who are to inherit salvation?

Yes they are ministers of God. But how do they do this assignment given them by God?

so did god create the angels.. or were they around with gods eternaty i agree they are there to minister to gods will and do his decree, but did he create them ??

Maybe, they use their "wings" to quickly fly from place to place,
as needed.

John 1:2-3
Amplified Bible (AMP)

2 He was present originally with God.
3All things were made and came into existence through Him; and without Him was not even one thing made that has come into being.



Colossians 1:15-17
Amplified Bible (AMP)

15[Now] He is the [a]exact likeness of the unseen God [the visible representation of the invisible]; He is the Firstborn of all creation.

16For it was in Him that all things were created, in heaven and on earth, things seen and things unseen, whether thrones, dominions, rulers, or authorities; all things were created and exist through Him [by His service, intervention] and in and for Him.

17And He Himself existed before all things, and in Him all things consist (cohere, are held together).


According to these scriptures everything was created by God.

Why would they need wings?

Maybe the aliens are angels? After all they are supposed to be beings from somewhere else. Different dimension? The fallen angels were once on the earth according to Genesis.

That could be because as you said they could materialize at one time and even mate with humans. And it would seem to me with some of the things we see that man has made such as the pyramids in Egypt and Mexico and all the astrological importance that was in their design, it would almost seem there had to be a strong influence from the fallen angels or demons to get these societies so steeped in that belief which of course is condemned in the Bible.

Like I said, to fly from place to place quickly like pilots do.
Pilots need wings to fly. They wewr a symbol of wings on their
uniforms.

But aren't the angels spirits and they would not be bound to physical elements such as air that humans have learned to use to fly in our atmosphere? Plus there is no atmosphere in the void of space. Right? Just a thought....

Heb 13:2
Do not forget to entertain strangers, for by so doing some people have entertained angels without knowing it.

Are there any angels here?

Don't you believe there is atmosphere in the space above the earth?
Angels must fly to and fro above the earth, right?
