"And the LORD appeared unto him in the plains of Mamre: and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day; 2 And he lift up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood by him: and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself toward the ground, 3 And said, My Lord, if now I have found favour in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant: 4 Let a little water, I pray you, be fetched, an wash your feet, and rest yourselves under the tree: 5 And I will fetch a morsel of bread, and comfort ye you hearts; after that ye shall pass on: for therefore are ye come to your servant. And they said, So do, as thou hast said." (Genesis 18:1-5) 1. Who appeared unto Abraham in the plains of Mamre? (The Answer is in verse 1) 2. Could Moses have not mentioned angels or a combination of beings in Genesis 18:1 or 18:2? He certainly did when he began Genesis 19. So, the answer is an obvious yes. 3. How many individuals are there in Genesis 18? (The answer is 5 and not 1 of them was an angel) That said, pastor upon pastor upon pastor will still; well, conflate away - creating at best an UNSAVORY SHEPHERD'S PIE out of Genesis 18:1 & 2 and Genesis 19:1. The LORD is interested in the affairs of men and has loved us with an everlasting love. I believe that he wants us to experience himself: The Father, The Son, and The Holy Spirit. “That which we have seen and heard declare we unto you, that ye also may have fellowship with us: and truly our fellowship is with the Father, and with his Son Jesus Christ.” (1st John 1:3) PRO TIP, when in doubt rely solely upon what is evidenced or there. I will refrain from naming the denomination here which teaches that Moses' phrase "The LORD" in Genesis 18:1, indicates only one member of "The Trinity" and two angels, but it is a large. _____ #TheLORD #Abraham #Genesis #Genesis18 #Sarah #BibleStudy #verseoftheday #God #Jesus #HolySpirit
