AMPLIFIED 2015 | Genesis 17:1 When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the LORD appeared to him and said, "I am God Almighty; Walk [habitually] before Me [with integrity, knowing that you are always in My presence], and be blameless and complete [in obedience to Me]. |
Subject: Which God appeared and talked to Abram? |
Bible Note: My view on Gen 17 is that whomever Abram was speaking to was an respensitive sent on God's behalf (it was a fleshly being) Here are some other scriptures to vailidate my point. Gen 32:22-32 It was a person (he wrestled with) Num 14:14 He appeared in the Fire and the cloud (something that they can see) Duet 5:4 He spoke from fire which in that tense he communicated with him by means of fire. Judges 6:22 Once again it was a respresentive sent by God with a answer. In all places mentioned above a person can "see God" in HIS many forms. |
