My friend said our spirits in the heaven and angles are the same. Also, he said we can judge the fallen angels with God in the last day. I don’t think he is right. Please help me.
 
We do not become angels when we reach Heaven. We will still be human beings.
Remember that it’s Church teaching that after the Resurrection we will have our bodies again. Angels do not have bodies.

No, Angel’s are seperate entities without bodies. Angel’s have immortal souls. Humans have immortal souls and bodies. This is in the catechism. And it is biblically logistical. Gabriel was not a human in the bible.
 
To answer the title question: NO.

On Judgement Day, all the souls of every human person will be reunited with their bodies - except Our Lady, since She was already assumed body and soul into Heaven.

Angels (both good and bad) are incorporeal, i.e. they do not have bodies.

Angels are a different type of being. They are not human, nor were they ever human.

The soul of every single person will be judged by the Son (jesus). God owns every soul but Jesus will be our Judge.

No angel is human and nor ever has been.
 
Our human body will return to dust.

The body in the resurrection is a living body for all eternity without pain , colour , size or anything else.

A brilliant white light full of purity not like this world.
 
That is a nice idea. That is not Catholic theology.
We believe in the resurrection of the Body and Jesus is the first of those resurrected. That is your example.

What is your source for your claims?
 
No source just my own belief. We are all part of God’s brilliant white light.

Many people religious or not have seen this brilliant white light , near death.

A young disabled child dies and I believe they physically will not be returning to that same body in my opinion.

Colour will not exsist either.
 
And your belief would be at odds with he Church. So make sure you aren’t claiming something to be true from a Catholic perspective.

Jesus said that he makes everything new. That includes our resurrected, glorified bodies in heaven. Everything that God created good on earth (including colors!) will be perfected in heaven. What is good but imperfect on earth will be good and perfected in heaven.
 
Every human person will have the same body that they had in this life. However, the bodies of the just will be perfect. They will have no aches, pains or deformities. The bodies of the damned will have unimaginable, eternal agony.
 
No. A lot of people think babies who die become angels in heaven. I just shake my head :roll_eyes:
 
Babies die without knowing sin. Spiritually they will be rewarded much greater than us sinners trust me.

Then, at the resurrection it will be restored to perfection. The body we have for eternity is the same body we have in this world.
No brilliant white lights. We will have bodies of flesh, bone and blood.

On what grounds does he think we have the right to judge anyone on the last day, let alone fallen angels?

On earth, we’re inferior to the angels, although we enjoy privileges they don’t have-- such as the second person of the Trinity sharing our humanity, and being able to consume the Eucharist.

We know that Jesus is the Judge-- because he told us he’d been given the authority to Judge. For example, he talks about it at length in John 5.
19 Jesus gave them this answer: “Very truly I tell you, the Son can do nothing by himself; he can do only what he sees his Father doing, because whatever the Father does the Son also does. 20 For the Father loves the Son and shows him all he does. Yes, and he will show him even greater works than these, so that you will be amazed. 21 For just as the Father raises the dead and gives them life, even so the Son gives life to whom he is pleased to give it. 22 Moreover, the Father judges no one, but has entrusted all judgment to the Son, 23 that all may honor the Son just as they honor the Father. Whoever does not honor the Son does not honor the Father, who sent him.

24 “Very truly I tell you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life and will not be judged but has crossed over from death to life. 25 Very truly I tell you, a time is coming and has now come when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of God and those who hear will live. 26 For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son also to have life in himself. 27 And he has given him authority to judge because he is the Son of Man.

28 “Do not be amazed at this, for a time is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice 29 and come out—those who have done what is good will rise to live, and those who have done what is evil will rise to be condemned. 30 By myself I can do nothing; I judge only as I hear, and my judgment is just, for I seek not to please myself but him who sent me.

But nowhere does he talk about, “Oh, and those who follow me can judge, too. I’ll let you judge some fallen angels, if you like. You know, for practice.” 🙂

Their body will be restored to what it should be without disability, or so Aquinas taught. But it is still their body, a physical body.
 
Dare any of you, having a matter against another, go to be judged before the unjust, and not before the saints? Know you not that the saints shall judge this world? And if the world shall be judged by you, are you unworthy to judge the smallest matters? Know you not that we shall judge angels? how much more things of this world? If therefore you have judgments of things pertaining to this world, set them to judge, who are the most despised in the church.
