I just made this picture of my grandma waiting in purgatory to appease Sally. This is much better than portraying my grandma as being in heaven with angel wings

Starting a discussion on a board of discussion is hardly getting twisted about an axle.

Those that know the difference but it’s the easiest, most common depiction of a human in heaven so they use it and then those who don’t know any difference.
Yes.

I'm learning more about Eastern Orthodox and may very well "switch" in the future.

It's not completely uncommon. And yes, it'd be quite a change. I'm just exploring right now.

Like the angels doesn't really read become angels
Agreed. Jesus intention was not to say we turn into angels.
This is Jesus speaking on the spiritual nature of the afterlife and the fulfillment of our souls in God’s presence.
He was engaged in a pretty intense debate in the temple & its when Jesus was questioned about paying taxes to Caesar, the resurrection, and the greatest commandment.
The pic you referenced is just symbolic. Just as Jesus did.

I think you're on the right path here.

Yes. PRAY for them, don't tell us they got their wings and they're looking down on us right now. You don't KNOW that.
That's why the Church prays a "funeral" Mass or a Mass of Christian Burial and not a "Celebration of Life." Prayers FOR the dead are essential, not suddenly canonizing them as modern day Saints because we are "processing grief."

If people want to understand this subject, I suggest reading, "The Unseen Realm" or "Supernatural" by Michael Heiser.

People do that with their deceased pets, you’re looking way too deep into this shite.

Here is what CoPilot says about humans with wings in art.
CoPilot - Humans with Wings in Art
CoPilot - Humans with Wings in Art
quote:
In art, wings often symbolize freedom, transcendence, and spirituality. They are depicted as a means of breaking free from physical constraints and achieving spiritual liberation. Wings are also seen as guardians, reflecting protection and safety, mirroring how birds shield and care for their young. This symbolism extends to divine protection, signifying the presence of a higher power. Wings inspire personal growth and transformation, symbolizing the journey towards becoming a better version of oneself. Across cultures, wings have been a symbol of empowerment and a quest for higher purpose.

I do a silent eye-roll when someone remarks that God needed another angel in heaven, so he took (name of the dead person) to be with Him.

Eye roll is OK but it's better to laugh at them and call them a moron.

Not angels, just heaven resident

Yes and it’s dumb and unscriptural. Angels are created beings and wholly different than humans. They were created to aid humans and worship God.
Humans don’t ever become angels, but one day will receive glorified bodies.
