Follow some logic...  an exercise.

Angels (including cherubim) are:

A.  Spiritual beings
B.  Physical beings

If you are inclined to say "both"  -- resist the temptation.

If you can't resist the temptation and insist on saying that angels are both spiritual and physical.... then:

Humans (including you and me) are:

A.  Spiritual beings
B.  Physical beings

Now, likely EVERYONE will say we are both spiritual and physical.

.....and if you did, then good--- you recognize duality. 

So let's circle back to the original proposal concerning angels--- does it affect how you look at angels?

As humans-- what is our spiritual nature?  We are flesh and spirit....

Where does the spirit part come from? 

As angels--- they are spirit and flesh...

Where does the flesh part come from?

Apparently you and I are talking about two different "physical and spiritual" beings since I never once said that I believe that angels are flesh but rather physical in nature meaning that they are real creatures.  i see nothing in scripture to suggest that they are not real living beings.  Are they flesh, obviously not since that goes against what the scripture says about them.  Are they real living beings?  Scripture seems to say they are....physical beings that also teach us spiritual truths....truths some seem to be missing.
