“While we are earth we are lower than the angels:

Heb 2:7 You made him for a little while lower than the angels; you have crowned him with glory and honor,”


That’s in reference to Jesus Christ, it says nothing about us. Nor are we going to sit in judgment of say, Gabriel or Michael. We will sit in judgment of the entire world, not just the fallen angels, but the wicked as well.

Though even this in a limited sense, as all judgment is ascribed to Christ, who performs it Himself.

You cannot conclude that the spirits of men will have the divine attributes, or will be superior in rank to the Holy angels in heaven.

“BTW Livius did say that we will be divine, he said we can be higher. At least half of your problem is your insistence on misquoting. You should stop doing it.


At least half of the problem are Catholics making irrelevant comments that don’t apply. Why even bring it up then, if not to argue that the spirits of human beings will possess the divine attributes?

Jesus was fully human and fully divine. as God He was not a crated being, but as a man He was. That is the nature of the hypostatic union. You may not like it but it is a fact. When He was human he was "lower than the angels" and when we die we will sit in judgment of the angels. This is what the scripture says and says plainly. If you want to deny the bible that is fine but it does not alter the facts.
