Actually it's not clear that any of the Visitors was God.

It is crystal clear that Yahweh was one of three persons that appeared to Abram just as the scripture says.

Check the scriptures in the video clip and smell the coffee. cool

Bible says that God never die
Jesus did die

What did Jesus say when he was called good teacher?
What did Jesus say when his disciples ask him when the end will come


Othniel was described as saviour in the Bible? Was he God?

Nebuchadnezzar was described as king of kings, was he God?

Compare Genesis 18 with Hebrews 13:2

Exodus 3: 2-6, compare with Acts 7:38

Don't account seems like Abraham and Moses were conversing with Jehovah and the person identifies himself as Jehovah if you read the account well

Paul mentions that both Moses and Abraham were actually speaking with angels

Compare Judges 6
It says that Jehovah's angel visited Gideon and conversed with him but in verses 14 and 15, it says that Jehovah was the one telling Gideon what to do cos the Bible shifts from addressing the person from Jehovah's angel to Jehovah and Gideon himself addresses him as Jehovah

In another instance, Jehovah's angel was the one who appeared and shared news with Manoah and his wife about the son they will have, Samson. Judges 13 describe him as Jehovah's angel and the angel of the true God but Manoah w told his wife “We shall positively die, because it is God that we have seen.” Although he did not actually see Jehovah God, Manoah felt that way because he had seen the materialized personal spokesman for God.


The eye of any mortal man cannot see God. Like Jehovah told Moses, no man can see God and live.

Jesus (Yeshua) was the Lord who appeared to Abraham and he rejoiced to see His day. cheesy

Abraham rejoiced to see Jesus or he rejoiced to see his day (as Jehovah promised him concerning the seed to which all nations of the Earth would be blessed?)

So, Jacob fought with God? 😂

Abraham looked up and saw three men standing nearby.
When he saw them, he hurried from the entrance of his tent to meet them and bowed low to the ground.”
Abraham showed immediate hospitality to the three men, inviting them to rest under a tree and preparing a big meal for them.

During their visit with Abraham, the three men warned him that God’s judgment was about to fall upon Sodom and Gomorrah They also promised that Abraham’s wife, Sarah, would have a baby by the same time next year.

Some have suggested that all three of these “men” were angelic beings who appeared to Abraham in the form of men. However, Genesis 18:1 says that it was “the LORD” (Yahweh) who appeared to Abraham.

So, one of the three “men” must have been God Almighty taking on the appearance of a man.
We call such an appearance a “theophany.” When Jesus appears in His pre-incarnate body in the Old Testament,
We call it a “Christophany.”
Whether God’s appearance to Abraham in Mamre was a theophany or a Christophany, we don’t know.
But it does seem clear from the context that one of the visitors was God Himself and the other two were the angels who later visited Sodom and spoke to Lot.

Way to go! cheesy

That is not the only account that angels were addressed as God
Paul said Abraham showed hospitality to angels

Later he asked questions concerning Sodom amd Gomorrah as if he were speaking with God literally

He is the first to be risen from the dead with eternal life and immortality and the last to receive such kind of gift. The only one

Alpha and Omega also applies in other sense. By him, Jehovah used him to create the universe and through him, as King of God's kingdom, Jehovah wil use to bring this system to an end and accomplish his wonderful purpose for Mankind.
Jesus had a father.
That one is truly the first

Before you jump to other accounts like a grasshopper, address the account at hand in Genesis 18:1. How many angels stormed Sodom And Gomorrah while Abraham was speaking to the Lord?

Genesis 18 tells of a fascinating series of events in which three men appear to Abraham, and one of them speaks to Abraham as the LORD. Read more at: https://carm.org/about-bible-verses/who-were-the-three-men-who-appeared-to-abraham-in-genesis-18/

Oga ,go & study ALL the commentaries of your TRINITARIAN mentors on Genesis chapter 18.
You should have argued with them, rather than your desperation for JWs attention.


The same ghost has given OLAADEGBU a different and conflicting interpretation of Genesis chapter 18.
