anyone want to be an angel?
Latter Day Saints believe that angels either are the souls of humans who have died or human souls that have yet to be born. Joseph Smith taught that "there are no angels who minister to this earth but those that do belong or have belonged to it." Latter Day Saints also believe that Adam, the first man, was and is now the archangel Michael, and that arch angel Gabriel lived on the earth as Noah. Also the angel Moroni first lived in a pre-Columbian American civilization as the 5th-century prophet-warrior named Moroni.
I love these beliefs in this branch of Christianity. I think angels and arch angels were once just like us, but have advanced in spirituality. We all can become angels. Other denominations of Christians have different beliefs about what angels are.
