Hebrews 2:7
You made him a little [ Or him for a little while; also in verse 9] lower than the angels; you crowned him with glory and honor
Hebrews 2:9
But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels, now crowned with glory and honor because he suffered death, so that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone.
Just because he was made lower than the angels to come to here does not make him imperfect.

Jesus was a PERFECT HUMAN. That means he was a HUMAN without sin. Do you believe it is a sin to eat? Does using the toilet qualify as a sin where you live? What about sleeping, do you stay up 24 hours a day 7 days a week? He laid down his life and "died"(sorry hate that word because it usually qualifies that someone killed the person.) Three days later he arose. Angels for the record aren't HUMAN. Humans DON'T become angels either. Hate to break it to you. Angels are kinda like the failed experiment to make humans. Something wasn't quite right. Humans are actually ABOVE Angels. Humans almost always give into temptation at some point in their life. That is what makes us IMPERFECT. I hope that helps you understand the difference.

Jesus was/is perfect.
He was only in human form for a short time. Once He was resurrected and ascended into heaven, He took His place at the right hand of God, and has been there ever since.
The devil became the devil when he fell from being an angel because he inspired to be of greater importance than God.
The angels sing praises to God the Father, and The Son.
Try reading the Bible, or one of the books about true after-death experiences.

Of course Jesus was human (and might I mention you've opened up a can of worms here? You'll get slammed by the bible-thumpers) That's what, for me, makes him so appealing. He felt a great many of the same emotions all humans feel. No, he wasn't perfect, but he did a good thing ( at least in my opinion). He preached love and acceptance too...although Paul seems to have tried his best to have overturned that...Works for me. Angels are angels. They also are divine beings but I think Jesus still has the edge because he does understand human emotion.

I've never understood this angle of Muslim proselytism - this obsession with body functions as some sort of disproof of Jesus' divinity.
If you, as a Muslim, believe God created everything, then you must believe he is the author and architect of bladders, endocrine systems, and the lower intestines. That means God in some sense made every stool and urine sample that has ever graced the 4.5 billion year history of the planet.
It is only a human conceit that feces and urine are "evil" - of course, it is a sensible conceit, since our excretions are unsanitary for us - but make no mistake, it is only a human conceit, and not an objective truth.
But this is our belief: Jesus IS exalted, for Isaiah would tell us, "How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him who brings glad tidings, Announcing peace, bearing good news, announcing salvation, and saying to Zion, 'Your God is King!'"
However, this salvation was paid for with a dear price. Not only did Jesus become human, he suffered far worse indignities than having to visit the loo or eat. For Isaiah also tells us, "See, my servant shall prosper, he shall be raised high and greatly exalted. Even as many were amazed at him-- so marred was his look beyond that of man, and his appearance beyond that of mortals..."
God sent his own essence in a form that would suffer the worst degradation. Why would the all powerful God do such a thing?
L-O-V-E
Love. It is that simple. And that wonderful. God's love is without end, and he took his limitless power and sent it to us in the same limited form we have to endure, dying the worst kind of death, so that God could say to us, "Be not afraid, for I have conquered the world." (John 16:33)

Yes, there's God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit, then angels, then us, then Satan.
Ever wonder why Satan hates us, and why angels don't? After all, God loves us as children, which would put us higher than angels in the chain.

You don't read the Bible much. It shows. Angels do eat. As to if it is needed or they eat in the presence of humans only for customs sake (to be sociable) is anyone's guess.
Jesus is not dead. When Jesus walked among men, he was VERY human and humans consume food and have body functions. Get real. After Jesus died and was resurrected - his body was changed from mortal to immortal - and he ate in the presence of the Apostles.
And who are you to determine what perfection is? God alone determines perfection - even so perfection among men is to rise above desires. Defecation and urination is a body function NOT a desire.
If perfection depended on everyone's separate ideas - no one would ever be found perfect except themselves in contrast to themselves - themselves being very imperfect.
God declared his Son perfect - and God's judgment is the final authority, since he himself is perfection.

Although Christ was the Son of God, he bodily took the form of a man. So while Jesus had power and authority over all, He did not make use of those attributes...rather he "renounced them". Jesus took upon himself the form of a servant, and this is often referred to theologically as the "state of humiliation". So, yes, Jesus was limited prior to his death and resurrection: he ate, he slept, and he bled. In taking on the role of a submissive servant before the Father, Jesus was the paragon of all that a human life could/should be....

He wasn't the son of God he was a prophet, God has no children, he has creations, but not children.
And angels are higher than humans by the way,
