Bible Questions Answered:
“I
have the understanding that when we die, we become angels, true?...”
Ramona/
Bonn, Germany North Rhine West Phalia
Bible Answer:
Bible Texts:
No, The Word tells us that our Lord created angels,
before men (Job 38:4-7). Mankind is of flesh, angels of spirit. Men
are created in the image of God. Men are to accept The Lord Jesus as
their Savior, never said of angels. Righteous men die, and are
received by The Lord, angels never die.
Colossians
1:16 KJV
For
by Him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in
earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions,
or principalities, or powers: all things were created by Him, and for
Him:
Not said of angels...
Ephesians
2:4-7 KJV
4
But God, who is rich in mercy, for His great love wherewith He loved
us,
5
Even when we were dead in sins, hath quickened us together with
Christ, (by grace ye are saved;)
6
And hath raised us up together, and made us sit together in heavenly
places in Christ Jesus:
7
That in the ages to come He might shew the exceeding riches of His
grace in His kindness toward us through Christ Jesus.
There is definitely a distinction made in The Word,
between men and angels.
Psalm
8:4-6 KJV
4
What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that
thou visitest him?
5
For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast
crowned him with glory and honor.
6
Thou madest him to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou
hast put all things under his feet:
I
Corinthians 6:3 KJV
Know
ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain
to this life?
I
Corinthians 13:1 KJV
Though
I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity,
I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal.
Hebrews
1:13,14 NLT
13
And God never said to any of the angels, “Sit in the place of honor
at My right hand until I humble your enemies, making them a footstool
under your feet.”
14
Therefore, angels are only servants—spirits sent to care for people
who will inherit salvation.
Hebrews
12:22,23 NLT
22
No, you have come to Mount Zion, to the city of the Living God, the
heavenly Jerusalem, and to countless thousands of angels in a joyful
gathering.
23
You have come to the assembly of God’s firstborn children, whose
names are written in heaven. You have come to God Himself, who is The
Judge over all things. You have come to the spirits of the righteous
ones in heaven who have now been made perfect.
Prayer:
Matthew
24:31 NLT
And
He will send out His angels with the mighty blast of a trumpet, and
they will gather His chosen ones from all over the world—from the
farthest ends of the earth and heaven.
