That means that Gideon knew that he was supposed to be an angel, but he had doubts. Since he wasn’t sure, he asked for the sign and it was proven to him. This is not entertaining an angel unaware. He was fully aware but just had doubts.

Clearly no one has ever thrown you a surprise party.

He clearly has no clue what he’s talking about. Raphael obviously gave glory to God.

We DO know because it’s obvious

Hebrews says people have entertained angels unaware. How could they possibly be unaware if the angel didn’t conceal his identity? [Staff edit]

Exactly

He wasn’t entertaining an angel unaware. It doesn’t fit.

Gideon knew it was an angel the whole time. He just had some doubts, and so asked for a sign. When the angel performed the sign, then he knew for sure it was an angel. Besides, he didn’t entertain him either. Nice try, but no cigar.

I think that if a wife submits to her husband, then it shows that she trusts that God will correct, discipline, or judge her husband for his poor decisions, instead of taking matters into her own hands. Do you take justice into your own hands? Or do you submit to the police and rulers, and...

The fact that the author of Hebrews didn’t say is even further evidence. It proves that the author of Hebrews, while addressing his Hebrew-speaking Jewish audience, assumed that his language was clear and obvious enough for them to have known what he was referencing when he said that some have...

Anybody got a dunce hat I can borrow?

Oh ok. That makes perfect sense. I’ll go sit in a corner now and stop using my brain. Thanks.

Abraham entertained angels, but he knew they were angels. He bowed down to them and said, “Lord.” Lot entertained angels. But he knew they were angels. He bowed down to them the moment they set foot in Sodom. There’s nothing in the Old Testament or New Testament that has people entertaining...

I think it’s because the Jews accepted them at first. The Jews included them in the Greek Septuagint in the centuries before Christ. Oh, but Catholics added them in the 1500’s. Because of course that makes sense (not).

So what is it that you want then? You didn’t specify. I can provide a link to the PDF with the whole entire 1611 KJV. I can also provide a link to just that page of Hebrews 11. Or the title page. Or a link to the book on Amazon. What are you asking for?

Oh, ok. That’s a picture I took from the original King James. I got it in 2011. It was a special edition for the 400-year anniversary for the King James Bible. So they made a photocopy replica of the original 1611 printing. I saw it at Walmart so I bought it. It was only $11, I think. Actually...

The Hebrew original to 1 Maccabees is lost today.

Then Rebekah lifted her eyes, and when she saw Isaac she dismounted from her camel; for she had said to the servant, “Who is this man walking in the field to meet us?” The servant said, “It is my master.” So she took a veil and covered herself. Genesis 24:64-65 - Bible Gateway passage: Genesis...

Many early church councils declared 1 and 2 Maccabees to be divine canonical scripture. They said so in the 300’s. Your claim that it’s “just history” and “not canon” is just an opinion...an opinion which most of the early church did not share. But you state it as fact, as if everyone has to...

If 1 and 2 Maccabees hadn’t been declared to be canonical scripture by early church councils, then those books would be lost to time. We wouldn’t have them today.
