Is it Sound Reasoning?

By Wm. S. Ingraham

MAN was not immortal when created, Heb. ii, 7. Thou madest him a little lower than the angels.
The angels possess an undying nature or in other words they are immortal. Proof, Heb. ii, 9, 16. Luke xx, 35–36.
From the above testimony it is evident that the Heavenly angels are immortal. Man in his creation was made lower than the angels. It therefore follows that man was not created immortal. The idea that the fallen angels are to be destroyed cannot militate against the above conclusion because they were on probation for eternal life and rebelled before the blessing was obtained, consequently will be deprived of it.
WM. S. INGRAHAM.
