Man Questions Whether We'll Be Angelic Or

By: David Ben-Ariel
Divine
"Weren't Adam and Eve angelic in the Garden?"

User? That's totally unscriptural. There's the human kingdom, angel kingdom and God
kingdom. Scripture reveals they were all too human - nephesh in Hebrew - mortal,
living creatures that could and did die, failing the opportunity to be given God-life
by the Holy Spirit.

Jesus was the Second Adam. It clearly states the first Adam was corruptible, flesh
and blood, mortal. Why don't you believe the Word of God? Yet Jesus, the Second
Adam, is divine, incorruptible and immortal. We can become like Jesus the firstborn
(by a resurrection from the dead and glorified) of many brethren.

"Adam and Eve obviously wanted to return to their former state and enter Eden."

Nothing had changed in the composition of Adam and Eve, mere mortals, but their
character - the change was all in their minds.

1 Corinthians 15:45-57

45So it is written: "The first man Adam became a living being" (nephesh/living
creature); the last Adam, a life-giving spirit.

46The spiritual did not come first, but the natural, and after that the spiritual.

47The first man was of the dust of the earth, the second man from heaven.
48As was the earthly man, so are those who are of the earth; and as is the man from
heaven, so also are those who are of heaven.

49And just as we have borne the likeness of the earthly man, so shall we bear the
likeness of the man from heaven.

50I declare to you, brothers, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God,
nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable.

51Listen, I tell you a mystery: We will not all sleep, but we will all be changed-

52in a flash, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will
sound, the dead will be raised imperishable, and we will be changed.

53For the perishable must clothe itself with the imperishable, and the mortal with
immortality.

54When the perishable has been clothed with the imperishable, and the mortal with
immortality, then the saying that is written will come true: "Death has been
swallowed up in victory."

55"Where, O death, is your victory? Where, O death, is your sting?"

56The sting of death is sin, and the power of sin is the law. 57But thanks be to God!
He gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ.

This clearly shows Adam was flesh and blood, mortal, corruptible and we're just like
him - but the good news is we can become exactly like the Second Adam and be
transformed at the Resurrection into brilliant God-beings, composed of divine nature
and holy composition. Adam and Eve were never anything but what they always
were: nephesh/living creature, souls that lived, sinned and died.

But Scripture clearly reveals we're after the Godkind - not after the angels in the First
Resurrection.

"...I think you're being a bit picky with words."

More like careful or faithful since "if they speak not according to this Word, there is
no light in them" (Isaiah 8:20). If anything contradicts the Scriptures it's of the
serpent and I won't give him the time of day and neither should you, no matter how
appealing he might make some other books appear and entice you to take of them
and get confused, yet thinking you're being enlightened. "We're not ignorant of his
devices."

The Scriptures say Jesus was born again by the Resurrection from the dead, and it
says He was the Firstborn of many brethren and shall change our vile bodies that
they may be fashioned just like His - not like the angels who will be under us and
managed by us in the World Tomorrow. True Christians are God-Beings in the
making!

"...granted but you don't know exactly how all the angels look or exactly how Jesus
looks. You don't know their similarities nor their obvious differences. You're just
playing with words again."

No, you're playing with fire trying to lower man transformed into God to an angelic
level. Satan hates our incredible human potential to bypass him and become God-
beings in righteousness.

Even as we have been fully mortal and human like Adam, we shall be fully divine
and holy Spirit like Christ the Second Adam, being born again into the literal
Kingdom-Family of God. How Satan is insanely jealous of this fact!
"...This doesn't negate the fact that Eden is a type per say of Heaven, and Adam and
Eve wanted to and did return back to Eden (in otherwords Heaven)."

Eden is only a type of HEAVEN ON EARTH or don't you believe Jesus who said
"the meek shall inherit the Earth" and that the Heavenly City New Jerusalem will be
established ON EARTH? Adam and Eve are dead and buried and are not in Heaven
(John 3:13).

"They obtained their angelic-like, God-like bodies again in paradise through the acts
of Jesus."

That's a religious lie. They never had anything but mortal, flesh and blood bodies.
SATAN FELL - NOT MANKIND! Man is presently under the angel's level, as
Hebrews clearly reveals - but we have the incredible God-given potential to literally
become born again into the God Kingdom-Family.

Hebrews 1:4-6

4So he became as much superior to the angels as the name he has inherited is
superior to theirs.

5For to which of the angels did God ever say,

"You are my Son; today I have become your Father"? Or again,

"I will be his Father,and he will be my Son"?

6And again, when God brings his firstborn into the world, he says,

"Let all God's angels worship him."

Hebrews 2:5-18

5It is not to angels that he has subjected the world to come, about which we are
speaking.

6But there is a place where someone has testified:

"What is man that you are mindful of him,

the son of man that you care for him?

7You made him a little lower than the angels;

you crowned him with glory and honor

8and put everything under his feet? In putting everything under him, God left
nothing that is not subject to him. Yet at present we do not see everything subject to
him.

9But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, now crowned with
glory and honor because he suffered death, so that by the grace of God he might
taste death for everyone.

10In bringing many sons to glory, it was fitting that God, for whom and through
whom everything exists, should make the author of their salvation perfect through
suffering.

11Both the one who makes men holy and those who are made holy are

of the same family. So Jesus is not ashamed to call them brothers.

12He says,
 "I will declare you

in the presence of the congregation I will sing your praises."

13And again,

"I will put my trust in him." And again he says,

"Here am I, and the children God has given me."

14Since the children have flesh and blood, he too shared in their humanity (the exact
same humanity Adam had) so that by his death he might destroy him who holds the
power of death-that is, the devil-

15and free those who all their lives were held in slavery by their fear of death.

16For surely it is not angels he helps, but Abraham's descendants.

17For this reason he had to be made like his brothers in every way, in order that he
might become a merciful and faithful high priest in service to God, and that he might
make atonement for the sins of the people.

18Because he himself suffered when he was tempted, he is able to help those who
are being tempted.

Jesus became like the First Adam - totally human, flesh and blood - nothing angelic
about Him! However, He had the divine nature that we can partake of now and be
born again by the Spirit at the First Resurrection and become totally like Him - the
Second Adam - DIVINE - not like something you imagine falsely in the Garden
before the sin - something much better!

"You really need read the Books of Eden, but somehow I think you won't."

The Lord rebuke you Satan! I won't listen to the serpent who contradicts the Word of
God. You really need to burn your lying Books of Gehenna - they're not of Eden.

The Bible reveals man is created in the image of God and at the resurrection will be
transformed into the brilliant image of Jesus Christ, the Second Adam, holy and
divine, literal members of the God Kingdom-Family!
