WHEN WE DIE, DO WE BECOME ANGELS?

Sorry to break it to you, but the short answer is "no". There is no morphing or any kind of transformation that changes us from human to angel after we die. We are born human, but with a spirit. Angels were individually created (not born) and they "are" solely, spirit.

When we die, it is only our physical body that dies, or is discarded. Our spirit lives on and we are then more "like" angels, because angels are only spirit beings. (who never had a physical body)

When we die and our bodies decay, it will not be as though we have "lost" something, it will more resemble being "set free" from the bondage of being trapped in that physical body.

Jesus made a brief distinction between humans and Angels in the book of Matthew 22:30 and again in Mark 12:25

Matthew 22:30 - "For in the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage, but are like angels in heaven".

This does not particularly pertain to the subject we are talking about here, but it "does" make the distinction!

It is a very pleasant thought, especially for those who have lost a child, that they would become angels when they get to heaven, but the truth is, they are simply "set free" and are more like angels. They can now see angels where as we cannot, and probably do every day.

Similarly, if you moved from your house to a 5 star hotel, your would surely see "Bell Boys", and "Maids" and the people who work behind the desk. Things you had never seen in your old home.

We don't need to become angels when we die, God made us pretty special just the way we are!
