Archangels and Archdemons

[Scholar in training]

Where in the Bible does it talk about a heirarchy of angels or demons?

I don't think that the Bible explicitly lays out a heirarchy of angels/fallen angels. That is mostly extra-biblical. There are two references to archangels, however; "arch" meaning, say, leader of a group.

1 Thessalonians 4:16
For the Lord himself will come down from heaven, with a loud command, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet call of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.

Jude 1:9
But even the archangel Michael, when he was disputing with the devil about the body of Moses, did not dare to bring a slanderous accusation against him, but said, "The Lord rebuke you!"

With all the self righteous people telling me they're going to heaven, I'm not so sure I'd want to join them there.

As for the whole angel/demon thing...I don't know of any Christian sources that support that...or any other sources for that matter.

cutekangaroo,

I'd suggest you do a study on angels in the bible. Angels are a completely separate species from humans, as justin and the scholar both indicated. Be careful -- it is not wise to spout opinions before you get the word of the Lord on it, as justin did. He spoke with the Lord's authority because he has it, at least on this issue. God does extend His authority to people who walk in submission to Him and to the delegated authorities in their lives. That's how the Kingdom operates.

Are you God? If you aren't, I wouldn't speak with His authority.

Im not god but god said nothing about us becoming angels in heaven.

But He did not say we couldn't, did He?
