Feb 24, 2020 · As the aforementioned Gieschen has argued, and has now been affirmed in a book on Christ as an angel by New Testament specialist Susan Garrett, the verse is not saying that the Galatians received Paul as an angel or as Christ; it is saying that they received him as they would an angel, such as Christ. By clear implication, then, Christ is an angel.
When he died, Jesus said, “the angels carried him to Abraham’s side (i.e., to heaven)” (Luke 16:22). But the Bible also reminds us that we are never alone if we’ve given our lives to Jesus Christ, because God has come to live within us by His Holy Spirit and has adopted us into His family.

No. We do not become angels when we die. Humans are one kind of God’s creation, and angels are another. To say we become angels is to say we stop being humans.
Creation Psalm 8:5says, “You have made them [human beings] a little lower than the angels and crowned them with glory and honor.” (Explanatory emphasis added.) God separates humans from angels in what they were created to be. Another verse to look at is 1 Corinthians 6:3. Here Paul is explaining to the people of Corinth how people will judge angels...
Perhaps it’s a misunderstanding of something Jesus said. Luke and Matthew recorded Jesus talking about marriage with the Sadducees. They were challenging him as usual; trying to trip him up and validate themselves. This time it was a question about the resurrection (which they didn’t believe in). The Sadducees started by stating the law of Moses, r...
In Galatians 4:7 and Romans 8:17the Bible tells us that we, believers, are heirs with Christ. Angels are not. We do not become angels when we die. We are higher than them in creation and destiny. The Bible calls us royal and says we are made kings and priests. Angels are ministering spirits sent to minister to us. We have been provided oneness with...

Oct 31, 2024 · The spirit of the believer goes to be with Christ (2 Corinthians 5:8). The believer does not become an angel. It is interesting that both Elijah and Moses were recognizable on the Mount of Transfiguration. They had not transformed into angels, but appeared as themselves—although glorified—and were recognizable to Peter, James and John.

Jun 26, 2017 · Though some denominations blur the lines between Jesus Christ and the angels, the distinction is unmistakable. Some identify Jesus Christ as the archangel Michael or another angel. However, this idea of the Son of God existing as an angel, or even an archangel, is impossible to harmonize with the content of Hebrews 1:7-8 and John 1.

Apr 11, 2013 · Reason being, the author seems to be contrasting Jesus to the angels in the first chapter, not to establish that he *isn’t* one of them, but that God raised him up from the position of an “average” angel, to become far superior to them – hinging on verse 4, where it says “having BECOME [not sure what that is in Greek] as much superior to angels as the name he has inherited is more ...
