Unless I am going nuts, I know that I read somewhere that the 2 cherubim actually have names. I thought they were Molech and Chiun or something like that. One of the cherubims had a falling out with God and was cast down. This cherubim was not satan.
I am trying to dispel the popular myth that Satan was a fallen angel......passages used to support this are actually referring to the fallen Cherubim who was in the garden of Eden.
Can anybody help ?
Not im my Bible
What's the difference between an angel and a cherubim? what's the difference between a cherubim and a seraphim? What's the difference if they have names? Molech was the god/Demon that pagans offered their children up to to be burned in the fire.

Thanx Micah. I was asking Sally Anne as she seemed unaware of the differences.
