In reference to humans becoming Angels?

Upvote:5

People don't become angels. No one* ever said they did.

Angelos (Messenger) is a job, not a species. Angels are God's messengers, differentiated from prophets, in that they have spoken with God face to face.
The most well known angel species (Cherubim and Seraphim) are different species than h*m* sapiens
The source of the myth that people become angels is based on a misinterpretation that just isn't held.

*By "no one" of course I mean no one in a position to speak intelligently as to the scripture or traditions of the church. This is a folk belief, not a doctrine of any recognized denomination.
