Can people become an angel?

[Guest]

I don't see why not.  In the book of Acts, an angel let Peter out of jail.  I don't see any reason why they couldn't help people out today. The Bible also says it is possible to entertain angels unaware, so I do think it is possible that we could encounter angels and not recognize them as being angels, but I don't think it is a common occurrence.   

 

 

Amen~!

 

Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life? 1 Corinthians 6:3

 

And One "Angel" Will Get More Entertainment Then Others, lol

 

And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet shortly. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with you. Amen. Romans 16:20

Jesus said, "...as the angels of God in heaven". Per your personal view, what does that mean then?

 

it simply means that we (in the form we will be in) will not be married in heaven.......      it is not saying that we will be angels.....     you can't take sentence fragments like that and get the full contextual meaning of much of anything.

 

 

Well, you even admitted to it, right there, with your words, "It simply means that we (in the form we will be in)...".

 

The 'form' of the "spiritual body", the body of incorruption Apostle Paul spoke of, is the angelic state in the heavenly. It is the form, or like Paul said, "the image of the heavenly". That's all that is required, because the word 'angel' does not mean a specific heavenly creation, it simply means a 'messenger' per the Greek angelos.

 

 Matthew 22:30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.

Mark 12:25 For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven.

as the angels does not mean that they are angels......   it means that they like the angels will not be married.    It is my understanding that we will be like Jesus physically.

Yes, other one I agree with you.we are made lower than angels and will attain a higher position so we will NOT be angels but we will be like them in that there is no marriage.

Made lower than the angels is a reference to the flesh, the "image of the earthy". It is not about the "image of the heavenly" we also will put on at Christ's coming.

but we still won't be angels.

Depending how one interprets the verse Gen 6:2 about the sons of God finding the daughters of men beautiful etc., it gets sort of interesting. Surely, these entities more or less abandoned their original position and state of being, so what did that make them to be? The Bible does not tell of more created species than the human beings and the different ranks of angels.

 

Well, one can certainly claim the offspring were not angels as we know them and the whole thing ended up pretty messy, flushed down by the flood.

 

I don't know, it's probably too late here to start writing about such things. 

 

What is an angel, and is the angel still angel after rebelling against God? Fallen angel that is. Those combining with humans, it's not too easy to fathom.

[other one]

From my point of view the offspring are the original bodies of what we refer to as demons today....   They died in the flood and some after and thier spirits don't belong anywhere so they roam the earth looking for some place to reside.....   

 

but that is a good question......   exactly what is an angel physically.

 

I'll ask one next time I see one....

Sorry for the confusion I was not speaking of images. The bible clearly says we were created lower than angels.

Heb 2:7 -- Psa 8:5

and it says

we will judge angels 1 Corin 6:2-3

Now judging angels; I do not think means what comes to mind. I think it means supervise, or to be over in some way.

I think those scriptures Jesse brought into the discussion are the reason some believe people become angels when they die, but it never actually says that.  They are a separate creation, but they did in at least one instance, take female humans as wives and have children with them.  That shows they are capable of having sex.  That is one argument I made for men still being men and women still being women in heaven.  All the angels I know of in scripture are male, and to Father children, they have to be male.  That may not be God's intent for angels, but it shows they are capable.
