Bible Question: I have heard many times that angels are not allowed to sit in the presence of God and that we can. And I have also heard that the angels watch and are learning from us. Is there scripture to prove this. I have heard it from many preachers but cannot find scripture. I have a friend that wants me to prove that we are above angels. |
Bible Answer: Hi, CE... Welcome to the forum! The subject you are asking about is known in theology as angelogy. One of the problems we face today is that angels have a place in human folklore. Most of the time the world gets completely mixed up about angels. Hence the silly pictures of babies with wings, female angels, etc. etc. Unfortunately, just because you hear it come out of a pulpit, doesn't mean that it is sound. Angels are servants of God of which there are possibly several species. They do, indeed, enter the presence of God (Isiah 6:1-7). Angels also minister to the elect in various ways (Hebrews 1:13). They are curious about God's work (1 Peter 1:12), and by implication they can learn (cf Ephesians 3:20). They are presumably subordinate creations to humans. One passage even says that believers will one day judge the angels (1 Corinthians 6:3), although we shouldn't see that as judgment for sin. Does that help? In Him, Doc |
