The Bible doesnt support this idea...

If you mean Bible wise the answer is no. God made man or created man just a little lower than the Angel. Man or Women and both are not on the same plane as Angels. Angels live in heaven and humans live on earth. Someone can and will become baby, child, boy, girl, man, woman and after death our bodies go back to the earth and our souls goes back to the Maker or Giver and the Bible says "We will be like Him." Therefore, if you are a child of God and He lives in you you are the son or daughter of God so you are a god not an Angel therefore you will never be able to become an Angel. However, when someone act in a good fashion we say they are angels or that's my little angel; only an expression that is not biblically sound.

Let's explore what God's Word says; as summarized in Luther's Small Catechism with Explanation:

The first article of the Apostles' Creed says: "I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven & earth."

The Nicene Creed echoes this but adds a little more: "I believe in one God, the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible."

God created humans & angels as two distinct creations. This is evident from the fact that the serpant is possessed by Satan & speaks to Eve (before any human has died) in the Garden of Eden (Gen. 3). Humans do not become angels. This would be dishonest.

"The Angels:
"99. Which invisible beings created by God are especially important to us? The angels. Note: Angel means "messenger." God frequently used angels to announce important events in the history of salvation: the birth of John the Baptist (Luke 1:1-20); the birth of Jesus (Luke 1:26-38; Matt. 1:18-21); the resurrection of Jesus (Luke 24:4-7); the ascension and second coming of Jesus (Acts 1:10-11).

"100. What else does the Bible tell us about angels?
(A) They are spirit beings who were created holy. [Gen.1:31]
(B) Some angels rebelled against God. They are the devils or demons. [2 Pet. 2:4]
(C) The good angels are many and powerful. They serve God and help us. [Dan. 7:10; Luke 2:13; Ps. 103:20-21; Ps. 91:11-12; Heb. 1:14; 2 Kings 19:35; 2 Kings 6:15-17; Acts 12:5-11]
(D) The evil angels are also many and powerful. They hate God and seek to destroy everything that is good, especially faith in Christ. [Mark 5:9; Eph. 6:12; Mark 4:15; John 8:44; 1 Pet.5:8-9; Gen.3:1-5; Job 2; Matt. 4:1-11]."

Just like the lie that Satan fed Eve in the Garden (i.e. you will become like God knowing good & evil...), the lie that people become angels is a delusion from Satan that is contrary to God's Word & takes a person's eyes off the Author & Perfector of our faith, Jesus Christ.

No. Angels are pure spirits, with no physical structure. Humans are a combination of a spiritual nature with a biological nature. Angels were created as angels, and will always be angels. Humans will always be human. We can become saints, but we cannot become something other than human.

I feel that they can become like an angel. Not what we consider angels, but more someone sent by God to another to minister to that person. I feel that there are many that God sends our way to ensure that we don't do anything stupid. But that isn't what most consider angels, but I think that that can be a definition of one.

This questions can go very deep but here is a start. Many People believe that when you die you ether go to Heaven as an angel or go to hell, most people prefer the heavens no matter how they where, but the bible teaches something else. In Ecle. 9:5 says the state of a dead person, when they die, they die. But in John 14:2,3 Jesus told his deciples how they where going to heaven with him. Also the bibles talks about a "great crowd" living on earth and 144,000 going to heavens. (Rev. 7:4).
