Who outranks who: angels or humans?I mean, angels get to go to heaven and can turn invisible and beat up demons- and FLY- so it sounds like they’re better than people. Like angels are superior to humans.And yet, Hebrews paints a different picture.Chapter 1, verse 14 saysAre they not all ministering spirits sent out to serve for the sake of those who are to inherit salvation? Those who inherit salvation are us. So angels are ministering spirits who serve us. Wow. So maybe humans outrank angels. But it’s going to say in the very next chapter,verses 6 and 7What is man, that you are mindful of him,    or the son of man, that you care for him?You made him for a little while lower than the angels…Wait, so humans are lower than the angels? And that also speaks of Jesus- when Jesus was on earth, was He lower than the angels as well?Make it make sense!I find this to be weird, and I’d like to explore why it’s in the Bible. Turn to Hebrews 2, and let’s get weird.Check out the new website! www.weirdstuffinthebible.comSign up for the weekly newsletter!
