1 Corinthians 6:3 — We will judge angels: ruling/leading rather than condemning

Subscriber Hangout and Q&A - LIVE! 00:34:07 – 00:36:40

A viewer asks what Paul meant when he said believers will judge angels.

Mike places the verse in context: Paul rebukes believers for taking disputes to secular courts rather than resolving them within the church. The phrase 'judge angels' is the interpretive crux. Mike notes 'judge' does not necessarily mean court-presiding condemnation — he appeals to the judges of Israel (e.g., Gideon) as a model where 'judge' means leader or ruler over people. He tentatively suggests the eschatological meaning is that believers will have authority over angels in the final kingdom — ruling and commanding them.
