Also, both canonical and non-canonical texts seem to suggest via Christ's own words that the heavenly existence is angel-like; they 'are neither married nor are given in marriage, but become like angels in Heaven', and in the Gospel of Thomas, 'I will make women who die like men so they will get to Heaven'

There’s a grain of truth to this. However, most of the gods worshiped pre-Christianity were amoral and self-serving. I wouldn’t call them actual angels. The fallen angel designation would be the most accurate, and of course given the angelic hierarchies, not all angels are the same. There is diversity (cherubim, seraphim, thrones, etc).


Ultimately humans have much greater potential than the angels for spiritual growth and affinity to God though. We must read John 17:20-26—what does Jesus pray to the Father? That we be one in Him and He is one with the Father. Our goal is to partake in the uncreated and eternal love of the Holy Trinity. 2 Peter also mentions partaking in the divine nature. The goal of Christian life is to become what God is by nature by God’s grace. This is theosis. Man can become far more glorious than the angels—just think of the praises given to the Theotokos in Orthodox liturgy. She is said to be more honourable than the Cherubim, beyond compare more glorious than the Seraphim. And this is a human being, the Mother of God.
