For him to put believers above angels I am thinking we are going to need a lot more knowledge than any human can learn on earth. And each is at a different level in Christ upon entry. By level it could be a number of things that determine that. ( ex. crowns given some may only get one others more.) Also this verse seems to play a part in some level. 1st Corin 3:15 If any man's work shall be burned, he shall suffer loss: but he himself shall be saved; yet so as by fire. My question is Do you think God will impart a vast amount of knowledge to believers in just a few minutes or would you think a more lengthy training would be in order?

When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child; but when I became a man, I put away childish things. For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known. I believe when we are in His true presence, our understanding will be given to us in that moment. Remember, our minds will not be the same when we are in our new bodies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt 16:27 For the Son of man shall come in the glory of his Father with his angels; and then he shall reward every man according to his works. Gives me the idea that some may not be ready to do same assignments. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Butero Posted May 24, 2014 Share Posted May 24, 2014 The Holy Spirit was given to be our instructor into all truth, but he doesn't impart all knowledge to us at once, We stay in the Word, and when we have a question, we can ask him for help understanding things. In this life, I believe that is the way it works. In the next life, I imagine we will see how many things we had wrong, when all the truth is revealed.

I Cor 13:12 God communicates Himself to us through His Son whom He sent and through His word. the Bible with the Holy Spirit It's not just knowledge, but this knowing ... knowing Him. and even now, to KNOW Him. Jesus says to some people who thought they were 'all that' “Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ 23Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’ So, knowledge is a part of it of course (even what we consider knowledge will pass away if you read I Cor. 1 but not everything I don't know about 'training'...I think it may just be an awareness, complete with understanding, that our present circumstances do not make room for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then can this massive amount of knowledge be put into believers instantly. I realize there may not be an answer for this as we all see dimly now. I agree once a believer enters Heaven instantly they will be aware of a large amount of knowledge they did not have. Im still pondering if that first influx of new knowledge will also include enough to oversee angels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we will get those big heads like little green men so we can store everything. Guess what.......it's worse then you think: but just as it is written, "THINGS WHICH EYE HAS NOT SEEN AND EAR HAS NOT HEARD, AND which HAVE NOT ENTERED THE HEART OF MAN, ALL THAT GOD HAS PREPARED FOR THOSE WHO LOVE HIM."
