Man was made a little lower than angels for the suffering of death as was Jesus. But man will eventually judge angels, so man must become higher than angels.
When the change comes we are to be like Jesus as stated in
1 John 3:2. This is scriptural and factual. Mankind was not made mankind to stay mankind forever.
It actually says Jesus was made lower than the angels... "for a little while". But Jesus created the Earth, Universe and everything in it.
We will be "like Jesus" in the sense we will be immortal and no longer sin. We do not become God.
Rev 21:1 Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth passed away, and there is no longer any sea.
Rev 21:2 And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, made ready as a bride adorned for her husband.
Rev 21:3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne, saying, "Behold, the tabernacle of God is
among men, and He will dwell among them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself will be among them,
Rev 21:4 and He will wipe away every tear from their eyes; and there will no longer be any death; there will no longer be any mourning, or crying, or pain; the first things have passed away."
Rev 21:5 And He who sits on the throne said, "Behold, I am making all things new." And He *said, "Write, for these words are faithful and true."
Rev 21:6 Then He said to me, "It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give to the one who thirsts from the spring of the water of life without cost.
Rev 21:7 "He who overcomes will inherit these things, and
I will be his God and he will be My son.
When all is said and done, and the end of the age comes. Men will still be men (verse 3 above) and God will still be God (verse 7 above).
If everyone becomes God, then there is no God. There can't be a supreme being if everyone is equally supreme.
Rev 21:22; I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb are its temple.
Men won't be the temple in the New Jerusalem, only God/Jesus will be the temple. So we won't be like Jesus in every way.
Rev 22:2; in the middle of its street. On either side of the river was the tree of life, bearing twelve kinds of fruit, yielding its fruit every month; and the leaves of the tree were for the healing of the nations.
Rev 22:3; There will no longer be any curse; and the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and His bond-servants will serve Him;
The bond-servants (Christians) will still serve Him even in heaven. We won't all be equal. He will be on a throne.
There are more passages similar to this in various places.
The primary sin of Satan, was that he wanted to be God. The sin of many people in the world today is that they want to be God.
Isa 14:12; "How you have fallen from heaven, O star of the morning (Lucifer) , son of the dawn! You have been cut down to the earth, You who have weakened the nations!
Isa 14:13; "But you said in your heart, 'I will ascend to heaven; I will raise my throne above the stars of God, And I will sit on the mount of assembly In the recesses of the north.
Isa 14:14; 'I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will make myself like the Most High.'
