By saying that the angels are the same substance as God and Jesus are you saying that the angels are eternal? God the Father (Jer.23:24), God the Son (Matt. 18:20), and the Holy Spirit (Psalms 139:7-10) are all said to be omnipresent. Are you saying the angels are omnipresent? All things are possible for God. Do you believe the angels have unlimited possibilities? How can they be of the same substance if they can't do the same things? How can they be of the same substance if some can die and some can't?
Heb. 13:8 says, "Jesus is the same yesterday and today and forever." How could he be of the same substance as the angels if they were created? Created beings have a beginning, so they would not always be the same yesterday and according to you angels can die, so they would not always be the same forever.
