sorry, multitasking - I thought the traditional hermeneutic of this passage was that the King of Tyre was being compared to Satan, not Adam. Just as Peter was when Christ scolded him.

Where is Man compared as an Angel?

Little "g" gods was commonly used to refer to high ranking Men, not heavenly beings. I have always considered "gods" as a reference that, while powerful, we are "a little while lower" than the heavenly beings.

Do you believe that angels are "gods"?

Trying to get the connection.
