Bible Question: Hebrews 13:2 warns us that we should not forget to entertain strangers, for doing so some people have entertained angels. How is this so if God now speaks to us through his Word. Can we expect angels to appear at the door? |
Bible Answer: Dear RLGreen, You wrote: "Hebrews 13:2 warns us that we should not forget to entertain strangers, for doing so some people have entertained angels. How is this so if God now speaks to us through his Word. Can we expect angels to appear at the door?" Heb 13:2 Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by this some have entertained angels without knowing it. First of all, the verse says, that if we were to entertain an angel, we would be unaware that it was an angel. The point is that we should recieve all christians as if they might be messengers from God. Matt 25:40 "The King will answer and say to them, 'Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it to one of these brothers of Mine, even the least of them, you did it to Me. Heb 13:2 has nothing to do with "new revelations". In fact Paul said in Gal 1:8 : " But even if we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to what we have preached to you, he is to be accursed!" Therefore, rather than making the written Word of God of less than our sole resource for knowing God and His will for us, it establishes it as such. John Reformed |
