Judging angels?

[LynnSmith]

“Don’t you realize that we will judge angels? So you should surely be able to resolve ordinary disputes in this life.”
‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭6:3‬ ‭NLT‬‬

I don’t know if I’ve just not noticed this before or if I just didn’t need to know more, but why will we judge angels?

This is because of when we are resurrected, our rank will be equal to Jesus, and above the angels.

Angels were called sons of God in the creation, we will be the sons of the resurrection.

Equal with Jesus?

I think it's referring to fallen angels here.

Yeah, it's strange saying it outloud, but when God appraises us it is according to who Jesus is as a basis.

There's a passage in the letters to the seven churches in revelation that implies some may not rule over the nations if they do not over come the trial.

Curious, is this based on ECF writings?

I’m very intimidated by Revelation.

What is ECF?

I’m very intimidated by Revelation.

Chapters 2 and 3 are pure application. The rest is a little intimidating, with very little agreement on what any of it says or means.

After the resurrection, man will know pure good.

The good angels are only good. Fallen angels are only fallen. Neither of them know both good and evil from personal experience.

After the resurrection, man will have first-hand knowledge of and personal experience with sin while existing in a state of pure goodness. I gather that our current fallen state and our future redeemed states will qualify us to judge the angels.

In 1 Cor. 6:2-3:

1Co 6:2 Do ye not know that the saints shall judge the world? and if the world shall be judged by you, are ye unworthy to judge the smallest matters?

1Co 6:3 Know ye not that we shall judge angels? how much more things that pertain to this life?

We read of God's people, during the 1,000 years in Heaven, Dan. 7:22; Rev. 20:4, judging not only the wicked upon the earth (who will all be dead and in the dust of the earth at that time; Isa. 24:22), but also the fallen angels (who will be bound that whole time on the broken down earth; Rev. 20:1-3, unable to leave). The judging, by the saints, takes place by going through the word of God, and Amen-ing God's punishments for sin, 2 Cor. 5:10, as each case is brought before them by what is written of them in the books of heaven; Isa. 65:6-7; that the finally impenitent receive their recompense in the earth, Pro. 11:31; Rev. 20:9; 2 Thes. 1:9, and thus when Jesus returns the third time with all the saints (Rev. 20; Isa. 24; Zec. 14, etc), then will the sentences obtained from the scripture, the word of God, Psa. 149:5-9, be carried out, Jud. 1:15, upon the impenitent who ever lived (of mankind) from the time of Cain to the last, and also including satan and his angels who sinned in Heaven. 2 Pet. 2:4; Eze. 28:15.

The evil angels, have not only sinned, but brought others to sin also, including the saints before they (the saints) being cleansed of all sin. The evil angels know of their time to come to be punished according to the word of God laid down for transgression (wages of sin is 2nd death, but each will receive according as they have done before they utterly perish into ashes forever; Eze. 28:19; Mal. 4:3, so that justice is met):

Mat_8:29 And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God? art thou come hither to torment us before the time?

God's people will know for certain that each of the cases brought before them became hopeless, and it is the duty of the congregation to judge, and agree with God's judgments for it, as Psa. 149 shows.

Can you point me to the scripture please.

Ok. Grabbing my Bible and going to read through this again. Thank you.

Not really. Just a guess on my part.

May I suggest APOCALYPSE by Archbishop Averky, translated and expanded by Fr. Seraphim Rose?

It's a verse by verse commentary on the last book of the Bible

Thank you. Writing that down. I enjoy verse by verse study.

Are there other passages that say angel but mean demon also?
