Who is Man?
Secret of Forgiveness of Sins–If we look at the life on this earth, they go through the same process: birth-growth-death. This is the life of every man without exception. Furthermore, the span between the birth and the death is filled with many different types of sufferings, pains, hardships, etc. For this reason, the Psalm defines human life as;
Psalm 90:9 All our days pass away under your wrath; we finish our years with a moan. 10 Our days may come to seventy years, or eighty, if our strength endures; yet the best of them are but trouble and sorrow, for they quickly pass, and we fly away.
Who are we? Why are we living on this earth? What is the purpose of our life on this earth? These questions became the main propositions of human being. However, nobody could give definite answer to this question. Today, let us find the answer through the words of God in the bible.
Mankind: Body and Soul
Secret of Forgiveness of Sins–To understand the man, we have to know the essential nature of human being. What is a man? The Book of Genesis let us know the creation of man and reveal the origin of the human being.
Genesis 2:7 Then the Lord God formed a man from the dust of the ground and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and the man became a living being (man).
The bible says that God created man with the dust from the ground and the breath of life from God himself. The dust represents the materials coming from this earth, which used to compose a physical part of man. In this sense, the dust means the body of man. Then what is the breath of life which comes from God? Contrary to the dust, this is something invisible which is used to compose man. This invisible part of man is called “spirit” or “soul”.
When the dust and breath of life join together, man becomes a living being. Then what is death of man? In this respect, the death of a man means the separation of the body and soul.
The Meaning Of Death
Secret of Forgiveness of Sins–Then what happens in the time of this separation? Do the body and soul simply disappear and turn into nothingness? Let us find the answer through the bible.
Ecclesiastes 12:7 and the dust returns to the ground it came from, and the spirit returns to God who gave it.
The bible says that the body was taken out of the dust of the ground and it goes back to the ground where it came from. And the body gradually decomposes and becomes nothing in the end. But how about the breath of life or the spirit God breathed into man? The bible says it does not decompose or disappear. However, the bible testifies that it would go back to the original place it came from. That is, it goes back or return to God.
This description of the spirit of man has a significant meaning in it. First, let us think about the word, “return”. It means “to go back to the original place it came from”. And the bible says that the spirit of man returns to God, which means, before coming to this earth, the spirit of man was originally with God.
Since the body (dust) was given at the time of birth on this earth, we can imagine the we were once purely spiritual being living with God in heaven. In other words, we were once angels in heaven who were living with God in the kingdom of heaven.
Who is a man? The bible teaches that once they were noble angels in heaven. Then why did they come from heaven to this earth?
Spiritual Angels Born as Man with the Body
Secret of Forgiveness of Sins–Through this we can say that we were once spiritual being in heaven before we came down to this earth. Somehow we came to earth and have to live the physical life trapped in the body. However, our life on this earth is over, and then again as a spiritual being we can go back to God in heaven. This is the human existence recorded in the bible.
King Solomon’s Testimony about His Existence as Angel
Secret of Forgiveness of Sins–We can confirm this through the testimonies from biblical figures. About his existence as spiritual being in heaven, King Solomon says:
Proverbs 8:23 I was formed long ages ago, at the very beginning, when the world came to be. 24 When there were no watery depths, I was given birth, when there were no springs overflowing with water; 25 before the mountains were settled in place, before the hills, I was given birth, 26 before he made the world or its fields or any of the dust of the earth.
Here the writer of the Book of Proverb King Solomon says that he was born before the creation of the earth. Since body was given on this earth, we can easily reach the conclusion that he is talking about his existence as spiritual being or angel.
Proverb 8:30 Then I was constantly at his side. I was filled with delight day after day, rejoicing always in his presence.
In Verse 30, he clearly testifies that he was with God at the time of the creation of the world.
Job’s Testimony about His Existence as Angel
Secret of Forgiveness of Sins–Solomon had great wisdom and through his wisdom he could realize the spiritual world. However, Job was different. He was common just like any Jack and Jill in this earth who do not have wisdom or understanding for the spiritual world. To Job in this condition, God asks about the spiritual world he once lived in.
Job 38:1 Then the Lord spoke to Job out of the storm. He said: 2 “Who is this that obscures my plans with words without knowledge? 3 Brace yourself like a man; I will question you, and you shall answer me. 4 “Where were you when I laid the earth’s foundation? Tell me, if you understand.
Job could not give any answer for this question. And God himself let Job know about this existence as spiritual being in heaven before he came down to this earth.
Job 38:21 Surely you know, for you were already born! You have lived so many years!
God tells that he was already born before the creation of the earth. Then in what form did he exist and where? Since Job got the dust (body) from the earth, we can know that he existed as spirit. Through these examples of Solomon and Job, we can clearly see that they were once angels in heaven.
Angels Born As Man
Secret of Forgiveness of Sins–Both Job and Solomon were glorious angels in heaven. But later they came down to this earth and they were given this physical body as garment while living on this earth. However, after the separation of body and spirit, their spirit will return to the angelic world again.
Then were only Job and Solomon angels? How about us? Are we made of different materials? No. We are composed of the same materials as Job and Solomon: body and spirit. And it means we were also once angels in heaven just like them.

We had been angels before we were born.
However, we were expelled from heaven due to sins.
Without having the forgiveness of sinse, we cannot return to heaven.
Jesus established the new covenant for the forgiveness of sins (Mt 26:28.)
In this age, Christ Ahnsahnghong restored the new covenant of the Passover according to the prophecies of the Bible.
Amen!
If we were Angels in heaven and sinned against God and He sent us to this world to be forgiven… Then does that mean that Lucifer and a third of the Angels that were kicked out of heaven also has an opportunity to be forgiven? Think about it we were angels and we were sent to the Earth to be forgiven but what about those angels that went against God? Don’t they have an opportunity to forgiveness? The theory of us being angels in heaven and sent to Earth for forgiveness doesn’t make sense…
That is stupid where does it say that they were angels? Give Verses not analogy. this is very Cultish.
God’s will of salvation toward us is so deep and we cannot even imagine His great love and sacrifice for all sinners. The last time of our remaining life should be dedicated to supporting our Father and Mother to find our last sinner in this dark world.
We were angels before we came to this earth. we were expelled to this earth because we sinned from heaven. so God came from heaven as a man to give sinners the forgiveness of sins.
I give all thanks that Christ Ahnsahnghong taught us the laws of new covenant, which lead us into the secret of forgiveness of sins.
We can go back to Heaven through the Passover. Thanks to Father Ahnsahnghong and Heavenly mother.
Keep the Passover and you’ll be amazed with how much love God has put in for us to receive in this holy feast.
We were angel in heaven, that’s why we say that heaven is our home town and Elohim God taught us how to return our home! I give all thanks and praise to Elohim God, Heavenly Father and Mother
common knowledge is …. we born on this earth and then we can go to heaven. but. this article says we were in heaven first and then we came here. so difficult to understand it. but if bible tells us about that and prove it. I can accept about it and need to think and consider of it.
All the people who born in the earth were the angels in heaven. We have to go back to the kingdom of heaven, our real home through the teachings of the Bible.
Numerous people were born and died on the earth. Are they all angels? Even I’m not so nice person. how can I be an angel?
It’s quite hard to understand that all people who were born and died were angels. Even I’m not so nice person.
Hello, Shy! Thank you for visiting us and commenting your opinion. Your opinion is very important to us. As you have said, sometimes it is hard to believe what is happening in the spiritual world since we are physical. We can understand what we see and hear, only the physical things. To teach us the invisible spiritual world, God gave us the bible. And the bible says that apart from our physical body we have a spirit in us. The spirit of man was not originated from this earth but from heaven. The spirit was with God in heaven. It means we were once heavenly spiritual beings or angel before coming down to this earth. If you study the bible more, you will surely understand that we were once angels in heaven.
Where we came from,
Why we should come to this land and live finite lives,
What is life after death,
The exact answer can only be known by God, the ruler of the spirit world.
There are many biblical interpretations and claims in the world, but the teaching of Christ Ahnsahnghong is the most reliable and biblical.
This is explained about our soul exactly. When I have studied this matter in wmscog, I feel always our church is true.
It’s very amazing truth that we were angels in heaven before we were born on this earth as man. Only Church of God can explain about this soul problem without any contradiction because Christ Ahnsahnghong who is the 2nd coming Jesus established this church!
I want to know the soul more. It would be fantasic if this article is true.
Only God can give a clear answer about man’s life and death, because God created man.
Thru Job and Solomon, we can easily understand that we were heavenly angels before we were born this world.
Thanks and glory to Elohim God who allowed us to understand about spiritual world and spirit.
Through this word of God i could understand i was angel in heaven.
Before i just know only the earth but by grace of God i’m looking for the heaven.
Thanks to God to allow me to understand this great news.
Through word of God i could understand that i was an angel in heaven.
Thanks to God without your teaching who can knows?
Before i just know about the earth. But words of GOD i understand that i was an angel in heaven.
Now i’m looking for heaven. Thanks to heavenly Father and heaely Mother.
We were angels. It is fact even though we cannot remember.
Because we were angels in heaven, we can imagine our eternal hometown. Where there is no more death is the place we want to go. How amazing and great it is!!
Thanks to God the Father and God the Mother, I came to understand the soul clearly. We have a place to return, the Kingdom of Heaven! To have the hope of the Kingdom of Heaven is amazing. I hope many people learn about the soul and our spiritual hometown and make more effort to go there. Thanks to God the Father and God the Mother!
