AboutGene Black Expertise I can answer questions related to LDS beliefs and history as well as doctrinal questions pertaining to the standard works (Bible, Book of Mormon, etc.) I believe strongly in personal revelation and hope that all answers I provide will be carefully considered, and prayed about before being accepted.
Experience I've been a member of the LDS Church all of my life, have served a mission for the Church, have been sealed to my wife in the Washington, DC temple, and enjoy reading books on LDS history and the teachings of the prophets.
Organizations The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints
Education/Credentials A love for people and a strong desire to seek after the word of God. I try hard to follow the command "Seek not to declare my word, but first seek to obtain my word, and then shall your tongue be loosed; then, if you desire, you shall have my Spirit and my word, yea, the power of God unto the convincing of men."
If Moroni devoutly practiced the Mormon Gospel, why is he an angel now rather than a God?
Answer Before I answer this question, I think I'm going to need some more information from you so I can be sure I know what you're asking.
If you don't mind, what do you consider to be the characteristics of an angel and what do you consider to be the characteristics of a god?
I'm asking, because my answer is useless to you if my use of the words "angel" and "god" aren't the same as yours. I might be answering a different question all together.
