  "he is the image of the invisible god, the firstborn of all creation; because by means of him all [other] things were created in the heavens and upon the earth, the things visible and the things invisible, no matter whether they are thrones or lordships or governments or authorities.

  all [other] things have been created through him and for him.

  " (col. 1:15-17, for context.

  Sorry I got late on this one ,answering the original post ,a have a couple of querstions :

  1. You say there is another word for first born in Greek which Paul didn't use here .Which one is this word

  2. You connect the verses in Collosians witht the verses in Psalms when two different languages are used there ,one Greek and one Hebrew .Do you mean the Hebrews meant the same thing when the Greek's refered to a "first-born"?

  By the way the Greek word used there is prōtotokos(=πρωτότοκος) the common Greek word for first born

  Will anointed judge angels in heaven ? is there Scriptural evidence evidence to support this idea?

  by raymond frantz in

  how is it that christians judge angels, according to 1 corinthians 6:3?in 1 corinthians 6:3 paul says :" do you not know that we will judge angels?

  then why not matters of this life?

  " some have thought that by judging paul was speaking of christians being able to expel demons.

  How is it that Christians “judge angels,” according to 1 Corinthians 6:3?

  In 1 Corinthians 6:3 Paul says :" Do you not know that we will judge angels? Then why not matters of this life?" Some have thought that by ‘judging’ Paul was speaking of Christians’ being able to expel demons. But Christ’s followers already had been empowered to do that on occasion so how are we to interpret Paul's words ?
