Was Jesus's work a representation of Supreme God's Power?
If we think that everything in the universe is as per will of Supreme God, then angels, demons and humans are there as per will of God.

Angels, demons, are certainly all real though we may not encounter personally, for example, an angel. Indirectly we do without knowing because the Bible says that sometimes we have entertained angels here on earth, unaware. And angels do minister to people. That's also in the Bible. Now here's one thing to consider about these things. God created all these things and in the beginning, they were good. God did not create any evil. That's not his characteristic. But remember that good can [u]turn[/u] evil. That's what happened in Satan's situation. He was the most beautiful angel in heaven, but the Bible says that pride was [u]found[/u] in his heart. God did not [u]make[/u] him prideful but he decided he wanted to take over God's throne and his whole Kingdom and he convinced other angels in fact a third of them, to follow him and rebel against God and they formed an army and went to war with God in heaven and of course God won and kicked Satan and his demons out, and this is where they roam today, on this Earth. It's in the Bible. Satan made the choice to be evil. That's the difference. Even in the Garden of Eden, there was no sin, until some of the Angels made a choice to sin.

Jesus was God's SACRIFICE. God showed, by sending His only begotten Son to be sacrificed and ascend to heaven, how very much He loves us. That is why Jesus is called The Lamb of God.
God's Son, Jesus, promises to speak to His Father on our behalf if we follow Him and obey His laws. Through Jesus only, we are allowed forgiveness of our sins. God's justice must be perfect...and no human is perfect. We have ALL sinned, and therefore would ALL be condemned...if we did not follow Jesus. Jesus said that on the last day, He would say to us, "I do not know you", if we reject His word and His works.

When say God, we are talking about an idea we no experience of. For most of us God is a definition of many attributes.
Unless we have reasonable experience regarding Angels, demons etc, these ideas are no better than a good story. We are dealing in speculation here. don't you think?

@Renkon no speculation. One of my friends who was deathly ill, and did see an Angel that told her not to worry that she would be okay and she would recover and the Bible does talk about them. And though we can't see these Spiritual Beings with our eyes right now, we will see them once we cross into their Realm and into the spiritual world because we will be Spirits as well and we will be able to experience all these things so I don't think we can say they're not real just because we can't see them. There's a lot of things we can't see that we know are real.

No, Jesus was and is a very high and exalted being, but
as regards Paul:
I am sceptical of Paul who used to be Saul.
In Acts 9:4 we read:
And he fell to the earth, and heard a voice saying unto him, Saul, Saul,
why persecutest thou me?
And he said, Who art thou, Lord? And the Lord said, I am Jesus whom thou
persecutest: It is hard to for thee to kick against the pricks.
Now what in the world does kicking against the pricks have to do with
persecution? He is clearly being deceived by Satan who can appear as
a being of Light, because the Lord God spoke in Ezekiel 28:24:
And there shall be no more a pricking brier unto the house of Israel, nor any
grieving thorn of all that are round about them, that despised them; and they
shall know that I am the Lord God.
And in Romans 7:14-24 we read:
For we know that the law is spititual: but I am carnal, sold under sin.
For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that I do not; but
what I hate, that do I.
If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is
good.
Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin (Satan) that dwelleth in me.
For I know that in me (that is in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to
will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not.
For the good that I would I do not: but the evil (Satan) which I would not,
that I do.
Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin (Satan) that
dwelleth in me.
I find then a law,that, when I would do good, evil (Satan) is present with me.
For I delight in the law of God after the inward man:
But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and
bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members.
O wretched man that I am! who shall deliever me from the body of this death.
It is clear that Paul is struggling with the devil inside him. He is not a
pure vessel like Jesus, Elijah, or Enoch, but a misguided soul ruled by
sin. Now he does say some good things in his letters, but in regard to
the Lord God's law he is wrong. You must use discernment and guidance from
the Holy Spirit so you won't be deceived.
Also as you read through his letters, you will notice that he often mentions
that he speaks boldly. Jesus and Moses did not speak boldly, they were meek.
