If you are looking for a date, then when was electrical current through wires or a light bulb invented?

Why does that matter? Please explain why you think it matters.

See Strong's 2919 for the word "judge" and take your pick.

You're going to have to provide a link then. Are you judging the conduct of angels at this moment in time: Yes or No? Simple straightforward question. What verdicts have you reached?

Define Angel.
Greek: ἄγγελος
Transliteration: aggelos
Pronunciation: ang'-el-os
Definition: From ἀγγέλλω aggellō (probably derived from G71; compare G34; to bring tidings); a messenger; especially an angel; by implication a pastor: - angel messenger.
KJV Usage: angel (179x), messenger (7x).

You are claiming when the bible uses the word : angels = pastors ?????

God sent Paul a thorn in the flesh. The messenger of Satan, read Corinthians again with this in mind, you’ll know what the thorn was.
You continue to evade and try to squirm away from answering the question presented to you. The reason being because you know it traps you and reveals your error, otherwise, answer the question please.
How many angels have you been judging? What have been the verdicts?

Depends on your definition of angel

Okay, let's look at the verses in context then.

1 Corinthians 6:1-3
1 When one of you has a grievance against another, does he dare go to law before the unrighteous instead of the saints? the saints will judge the world? And if the world is to be judged by you, are you incompetent to try trivial cases? 3 Do you not know that we are to judge angels? How much more, then, matters pertaining to this life!

It says the saints will judge the world. This verse is talking about other human beings. The next verse then reveals another group we will be responsible for judging as Christian's: Angels. Your interpretation doesn't make sense because there's no reason for Paul to change descriptive terms here if he were talking only about human beings. He uses the term "angel" as an additional party that we will also be responsible for judging.

You say you judge messages here, but we all do that, tbh.

Your interpretation that Paul is speaking about human beings in both verses doesnt make sense because there is no reason to make a distinction.

Then God is true
