1 | Did Abraham see God? | Gen 18:2 | Nosnarc | 88856 | ||
1 Tim 6:16 would indicte that the answer is no; but only insofar as in relation to God the Father. Exodus 33 vv 14 - 23 would also indicate, by inference, that as Moses did not see God's face, neither did Abraham; but . . . Did he recognise within the form of one of these visitors one who was the Son of God? It depends on whether 'The Lord'(v.1) who appeared to him was one of the three travellers in the following verse. Verse 22 of the same chapter would indicate that 2 of the three men of verse 2 were seperate from 'The Lord' in verse 1. "Then the men turned away from there and went toward Sodom, while Abraham was still standing before the LORD." (Gen 18:22). Chapter 19 v 1 talks about 2 angels arriving at Sodom. So the answer is that Abraham did see God, probably in the form of The Son. |

2 | Did Abraham see Melchizedek? | Gen 18:2 | Nosnarc | 88854 | ||
The context of the verses in this chapter would seem to indicate that there was a meeting between the Kings of Salem (Melchizedek), Sodom (Bera) and Abram. Verse 20 says, " . . . and he gave him a tithe of all." God Bless :o) |

3 | Angels Eating | Gen 19:3 | Nosnarc | 88794 | ||
Could I suggest that the angels would eat for the same reason that Adam and Eve ate? They did not eat to live in the Garden of Eden, but they were given food nonetheless. Just the same, I believe, that in eternity eating will be something which is done - imagine the tastes and textures without the taint of sin(!) - not out of having to, but rather to further savour God's pefection, and also to enable us to praise and worship Him in all the beauty of creation. | ||||||
4 | What does it mean "and sin not?" | Eph 4:26 | Nosnarc | 88792 | ||
Hi, Well . . . God is frequently angry at many things and people. This would include us, I believe, when we sin - especially wilfully. Yet He has never sinned in that anger, He has never lashed out in a haphazzard manner. He has never 'lost the rag' as I would say, 'Thrown the baby out with the bath water', basically overreacted. This is one area of sinning when angry. |
