Do you think people become like angels when they die?

I mean before Jesus comes back again, and the dead are in rest. What sort of jobs do they have? Do they see us? Do they guard us? Look after us? I believe in the Bible, but the Bible never says what exactly happens before Jesus makes the new heaven and new earth. I do not think we are floating around playing little harps, that would be boring.

What do you think happens? What do you imagine happening?

Since the Bible was assembled to please a former British monarch, it's very possible those details were left on the cutting room floor. I'm not a believer but I do find some of it fascinating and would love the chance to read what was left out just to see where it would land on questions like this.

@SW-User Your history is off. King James came much later.

@Graylight King James cobbled together multiple religious texts when commissioning his version. I'm not giving a history lesson Gray. Should I decide to do that you are welcome to judge it.

@SW-User This had been done previously. There wasn't even a Bible until after Constantine, but he's credited with assembling a large amount of text. The King James Bible wasn't published until 1611. The first complete copies of single New Testament books appear around 200, and the earliest complete copy of the New Testament, the Codex Sinaiticus, dates to the 4th century. Today, the King James Version is considered "authoritative," but it's hard;y the first and hardly the only one.
