Comments on: Question About Abraham’s Visitors http://www.shroomazoom.com/2010/01/question-about-abrahams-visitors/ But I Digress… Tue, 02 Mar 2010 03:43:56 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: Yvonne Gallant http://www.shroomazoom.com/2010/01/question-about-abrahams-visitors/comment-page-1/#comment-74 Yvonne Gallant Wed, 03 Feb 2010 02:39:40 +0000 http://www.shroomazoom.com/?p=118#comment-74 The best thing to do is to look at other scriptures around the scripture you are trying to understand and to look at other scriptures as well in the Bible if they apply. John 1:18 says "No man has seen God at any time" so we can conclude from this that Abraham was not visited by God himself. Gen 18:22 and Gen 19:1 are the big clues to who these visitors are. Gen 18:22 says "At this point the men turned from there and got on their way to Sod′om; but as for Jehovah, he was still standing before Abraham." Gen 19:1 says "Now the two angels arrived at Sod′om by evening,..." So the "men" were angels, and 19:1 says TWO of the three went to Sodom, which meant one stayed back to represent God to Abraham. Hope that helps Shroomazoom, its really commendable that you meditate on things like this.
