U God can not be where there is sin. Therefore, the original state of the angels was in a surrounding of complete H_________ ___s and p__________ ___n.

U Angels are superior to men but, are not omnipotent like God.

1. When God became man, (Incarnate -hypostatic union-) He "stooped" (temporarily for 33 years) and became humanity.

2. Man, in his resurrected and glorified body will judge angels.

Men are not superior to angels in the physical. But, When a Christian goes to h__________n (Redeemed) and is seated at the right hand of the Father he is superior to angels.

This is why it is so important to be fulfilled with the Holy Spirit every day, so we can overcome the snares of the devil.
