Angels are the stars. They were created to shine light for as long as they were necessary. Angels are not a second group of beings alongside the sons of God.jeffweeder said:
LK 20
34 Jesus said to them, “The sons of this [world and present] age marry and [the women] are given in marriage; 35 but those who are considered worthy to gain that [other world and that future] age and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry nor are given in marriage; 36 and they cannot die again, because they are [immortal] like the angels (equal to, angel-like). And they are children of God, being participants in the resurrection.
Philipp 3
20 But [we are different, because] our citizenship is in heaven. And from there we eagerly await [the coming of] the Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ; 21 who, by exerting that power which enables Him even to subject everything to Himself, will [not only] transform [but completely refashion] our earthly bodies so that they will be like His glorious resurrected body.
Romans 6:9
because we know [the self-evident truth] that Christ, having been raised from the dead, will never die again; death no longer has power over Him.

They are not the same body obviously.
We are then like the Angels who are immortal. If you disagree , then name one instance where we are told about an Angel dying.
We are like Jesus, never again to die...eternal life....remaining with him from hence forever and ever.
Adam on the other hand was warned not to sin lest he die.
Big difference between Adam's body and Jesus glorified body. We will all possess a body like his glorious body which can never die again.
Stars don't procreate with other stars and have baby stars.
Jesus never said we would become stars. Jesus said we would not procreate once we left this earth. There are several Scriptures that also state we will shine as the stars. How do you think that will even happen?
Adam was never created to die either. He was not created to sin. He was given one law or command. As long as Adam never disobeyed, his soul would never be placed into a body of death.
There is no difference between the body Adam was created with and the one Jesus was born with. Neither were mortal, of death, nor corruptible, of sin. Adam was in the image of the body Jesus was born with. So the exact same body. Jesus said, before Abraham, I am. Jesus is the alpha and the omega. Jesus will always have that physical body from the beginning until the end, and always in eternity. The only reason that body is glorious, is because that body is without sin.
Still nothing about having an immortal body. Is a building compared to a tent, immortal, or permanent as opposed to temporal?
