Deity of the Lord Jesus Christ:
God Is Revealed as Not a Spirit Only, But as a Man Also
From the Torah: God as a Man upon the Earth
(and a Being in Heaven at the Same Time!)
A study
of angels reveals to us that God did present himself in the likeness
of a man during the time
of the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. Also, Genesis 1:26 tells us
that God made man in the image of himself, "in our image".
(Note the plurality.)
Angels are not mentioned as merely, genderless beings. Many verses explicitly reveal the male gender. An etymological meaning of Gabriel is "man of God".
The MEN with Lot were angels. Take notice, theophanically in Genesis 18:2, God (Jehovah) was with the other two men: "three men". He (Jehovah) was the one who rained brimstone and fire upon Sodom and Gomorrah from the Lord (Jehovah) out of the heavens (Genesis 19:24-27). (Note the same identity of person and oneness.)
From the New Testament: God as a Man
Luke
17:28 Likewise also as it was in the days of Lot; they did
eat, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they builded;
29But the same day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and
brimstone from heaven, and destroyed them all. 30Even thus shall it
be in the day when the Son of man is revealed.
