How could Moroni become an angel?

[Kristoffer]

How is it possible that Moroni could become an angel?
- I know that the catholics believe that Enoch became the archangel Metatron by reading Book of Enoch, but how does mormons believe about this in Moronis case?

Does mormons believe that there exists more humans that have became angels in time, and do they have an idea about why someone becomes an angel and others not?

We use the word "angel" to describe various kinds of heavenly beings, the type of being depending on the context in which the word is used. They are not altogether different from humans. In form they actually are like humans; they are just in a different stage of progression from us humans. Their essential purpose is to act as the Lord's messengers.

If you know anything at all about Mormonism, you are probably aware that we believe that all mankind had a pre-mortal life in the presence of God. Revelation 12: 7- 9 states: "And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels, and prevailed not; neither was their place found any more in heaven. And the great dragon was cast out, that old serpent, called the Devil, and Satan, which deceiveth the whole world: he was cast out into the earth, and his angels were cast out with him." It is our belief that the angels who engaged in this "war" were the spirits of all mankind, none of whom had at that time left God's presence and entered mortality. So, in one respect, an angel can be anyone who has not yet been born, whom God chooses to use as a messenger of some kind. Since the resurrection of Jesus Christ, certain angels are resurrected beings. This would be the situation with respect to Moroni.

I'm not LDS, but I just wanted to correct this and leave:

- I know that the catholics believe that Enoch became the archangel Metatron by reading Book of Enoch, but how does mormons believe about this in Moronis case?

Catholics believe no such thing. We do not believe it's possible for a human to become an Angel or vice versa. Angels and humans are pretty much different species. The Book of Enoch is not part of the Catholic canon.

I'm sorry, but if there are, I'm unaware of them.

Norman: Hi Kristoffer, I don't know if reading a book is the premise of who God decides who becomes an angel or not? In my opinion, it is up to God who he sends as divine messengers.The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints believe that the Prophet Moroni was the angel prophesied by John the Revelator in Rev 14:6. Because the Lord desires to save mankind, even until the end, He revealed to John the Revelator that in the latter day’s angels would again fly through the midst of heaven as emissaries of the Almighty. John saw that one of these angels would fly from heaven to earth and would bring the everlasting gospel back to earth, it having been lost to mankind over the ages. Mormon, appeared as a glorified, resurrected being. There are two kinds of beings in heaven who are called angels: those who are spirits and those who have bodies of flesh and bone. Angels who are spirits have not yet obtained a body of flesh and bone, or they are spirits who have once had a mortal body and are awaiting resurrection. Angels who have bodies of flesh and bone have either been resurrected from the dead or translated.

Revelation 14:6 And I saw another angel‍ fly in the midst of heaven, having the everlasting gospel‍ to preach‍ unto them that dwell on the earth, and to every nation, and kindred, and tongue, and people,

Angels

Does mormons believe that there exists more humans that have became angels in time, and do they have an idea about why someone becomes an angel and others not?

Norman: Yes, we believe in angels, the Bible as well as the Book of Mormon are full of them. I also believe that angels continue even today to minister unto the children of men. In my opinion, God decides who He is going to send as a divine messenger.
