I consider any messenger sent from God to be an angel, and Moroni, once a man on earth, to be one.

How do you KNOW the Sender?

Sorry, but MEN have NEVER been shown to change into an angel.

“I consider any messenger sent from God to be an angel, and Moroni, once a man on earth, to be one.”

Normandy, can you provide any facts or evidence that backs up your assertion that moroni was an angel? So far, we just have an opinion.

Except you can't point to any "angel" specifically id'd as a "man" in the Bible, can you?

Except you can't point to any "angel" specifically id'd as a "man" in the Book of Mormon in the Bible, can you? (iow...Moroni or any other Book of Mormon character isn't id'd as an "angel" there)

And if that's important doctrinally, why is that nowhere to be found in those sources?

Normandy...we cannot alwas simply take what an "angel" says at face value; we need to be "noble" like the Bereans were:

11 Now the Berean Jews were of more noble character than those in Thessalonica, for they received the message with great eagerness and examined the Scriptures every day to see if what Paul said was true. (Acts 17:11)

We have to examine the claims of any "latterday" "gospel" vs. previous revelations re: the Biblical Gospel. If you don't, you fail to be "noble" (like the Bereans)

Hence, Paul says that if a new "angel" on the block begins preaching amiss...a "new" "gospel"...that "angel" is to be cursed!!!!

6 I am astonished that you are so quickly deserting the one who called you to live in the grace of Christ and are turning to a different gospel— 7 which is really no gospel at all. Evidently some people are throwing you into confusion and are trying to pervert the gospel of Christ. 8 But even if we or an angel from heaven should preach a gospel other than the one we preached to you, let them be under God’s curse! 9 As we have already said, so now I say again: If anybody is preaching to you a gospel other than what you accepted, let them be under God’s curse! (Galatians one:six to nine)
