Morgoth wasn't the name of his physical form it was the name the Elves gave him: Morgoth Bauglir. The Valar were beings of spirit that took form, or in Ulmo's case only did so occasionally. In the Sil it says of Melian that she dropped her form and fled Middle-earth, Ulmo is mentioned as only occassionally taking form, their form/Fana is not the same as our physical being.
Like someone said above the content of the HoMe's is a matter of opinion. It's hard to believe from what is written of Manwe in the Sil, that he would execute anything.
