This stood out to me. I felt I should share.
He was "amazed" at the people's lack of faith in him in Nazareth and could do no miracles there.
(Mark 6:5-6)

6 - Jesus could be amazed.
On at least two occasions, Jesus showed great surprise at events. He was "amazed" at the people's lack of faith in him in Nazareth and could do no miracles there. (Mark 6:5-6) The great faith of a Roman centurion, a Gentile, also amazed him, as noted in Luke 7:9.
Christians have long argued over Philippians 2:7. The New American Standard Bible says Christ "emptied" himself, while the later ESV and NIV versions say Jesus "made himself nothing." The controversy still goes on over what this emptying of divine power or kenosis means, but we can be sure that Jesus was both fully God and fully man in his incarnation.

Interesting to hear that angels have no wings and the difference between a cherubim and an angel. I have to look into this some more.
Do you remember, long ago, how a gasbuddy mentioned there were only male angles, but yet we all think of angels as females?
Let's look into this some more and see what we could come up, as to what the Bible has to say.
What about archangel... there's no mention of archangel in the video?! Isn't St. Michael an archangel?

These vids are based on scripture and yes both Gabriel and Michael were mentioned as angels and subtly referencing their power but with their purpose focusing on God. Their status in the angel realm is not really relevant to us.

I found this on the Got Questions, that many non-Catholics use; www.gotquestions.org/angels-male-female.html
I'll be checking out the Catholic side also; www.catholicbible101.com/theearlychurchfathers.htm
This is from the Gotquestions.org. "Some people point to Zechariah 5:9 as an example of female angels. That verse says, “Then I looked up—and there before me were two women, with the wind in their wings! They had wings like those of a stork, and they lifted up the basket between heaven and earth.” The problem is that the “women” in this prophetic vision are not called angels. They are called nashiym (“women”), as is the woman in the basket representing wickedness in verses 7 and 8. By contrast, the angel that Zechariah was speaking to is called a malak, a completely different word meaning “angel” or “messenger.” The fact that the women have wings in Zechariah’s vision might suggest angels to our minds, but we must be careful about going beyond what the text actually says. A vision does not necessarily depict actual beings or objects—consider the huge flying scroll Zechariah sees earlier in the same chapter (Zechariah 5:1–2)."

Tim, "These vids are based on scripture and yes both Gabriel and Michael were mentioned as angels and subtly referencing their power but with their purpose focusing on God. Their status in the angel realm is not really relevant to us."
Why would I not want to know the status of the angels?
For they interact with humans by God's grace and commands.

The purpose of a messenger is the message.
