How do you know doves are not angels??

Question

my question says it all

Answer 1

for all anyone knows they could be...right now it's just a matter of opinion

Answer 2

how do you know koalas are not angels?

pathetic

Answer 3

An angel is what you believe in your heart to be.....

Answer 4

I believe in Angels and I believe in animal spirits but I've never been sure of how exactly it works. Sometimes I get signs through animals and I always wondered if animals themselves are spiritual and know to pop up for me or if an Angel or spirit embodies them at the time to show me the sign.

There is something very Angelic about the dove...

This is a good question...one I don't have an answer to, lol, but I thought I would share my thoughts anyways to balance out the other negative answers you might get.

*edit*

There are many stories of Angels incarnate...coming to someone in human form and then disappearing.

So I guess they could also take the form of a Dove.

Answer 5

because they are birds

Answer 6

An angel or spirit or any kind of being can probably be anything you percieve it to be. Reality is not necessarily real. How would you know?

Answer 7

Because angels don't exist?

How do you know doves are not leprechauns?

Answer 8

I don't. I have no idea. Aren't they just birds that c**p on expensive cars when they get the chance?

Answer 9

u neevr know..however...doves are captured and stuckk in zoos and wat not...while an angel would free itself and go on bringing peace

Answer 10

I guess you don't!  However, I think, at least for now, doves are not angels.

Answer 11

How do you know thunder isn't God bowling?

How do you know clouds aren't cotton candy?

How do you know the moon isn't made of bleu cheese?

Because I'm not 4 years old, that's why.

Answer 12

The last dove I saw crapped on my truck. I shot it and ate it. If it was an angel I'm sure the judeo-christian god would have been slightly ticked and struck me down. Needless to say I'm still here so.......

Answer 13

A dove could be an angel in disguise,like maybe that is how they get to and from heaven?They fly to people in dove form, then turn back into their normal angel selves, do what they have to,and then fly back up as a dove, until hey are so high they won't be recognizable.

However I don't think that's how it works.Doves are used as symbols for God, Jesus, and angels, but I don't think they are them.Maybe they aren't angels, but messengers or used to watch over people...but for the most part I think they just symbolize God and the angels, not are them.
