“They’re in Heaven. And human beings can be higher than the angels, which is exactly what annoyed Satan.”


The scripture makes no such claim, nor does it claim that human beings will ever share in the divine attributes. These claims are blasphemous. That’s the point.

Livius:“They’re in Heaven. And human beings can be higher than the angels, which is exactly what annoyed Satan.”

GPH: The scripture makes no such claim, nor does it claim that human beings will ever share in the divine attributes. These claims are blasphemous. That’s the point.

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,

After we die we will be higher than the angels, as we will sit in judgment of them: 1Co 6:3 Do you not know that we are to judge angels? How much more, then, matters pertaining to this life!

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.
