Dying unto yourself and letting only God shine through you is becoming invisible, transparent, angelic, never drawing attention to yourself, as to who you are. Individual differences retain their role and function for God's purpose only.

NO!

NOT ANGELIC!

Scripture is quite clear. We shall JUDGE ANGELS.

Which is an interesting point . . . angels are to be lower than us as Scripture clearly states. And, evidently they have some sort of more 'automatic' obedience built-in--perhaps some sort of 'more transparent nature' for God's glory to shine through less impeded than we in our current earthly state.

YET, there are evidently even in eternity going to be DIFFERENCES sufficiently amongst them and their choices and actions that we shall judge them? What a mystery.

So, then, we have more than a couple more than transparent brain cells working together with which to judge them, evidently.

Sure we give God The Glory for all we are and do--increasingly even in this time/space dimension and wholesale in eternity. But Holy Spirit is the invisible wind, BREATH OF GOD--not humans. Not even redeemed humans.

Somehow, I'm reminded of the joke product--the invisible dog harnesses. It seems to me that God gets much more Glory out of the diversity of all us VISIBLE dogs than he ever would out of an infinite number of invisible dogs. LOL.

Really? And why? The angels that rebelled have already been judged.

Evidently 1/3 od all angels has a 'defect' in their 'automatic' built-in obedience. Our current earthly state is not how we were created.
