Is God a Person in His Divine Nature

• Messages sorted by:[ date ][ thread ][ subject ][ author ]

Read the story of Abraham where God is ready to destroy Sodom. In the story
it tells of three men that visited Abraham and one was the Lord. Evidently
He appeared in angelic type form before His incarnation. Check it out.
