As for angels having the form of humans, when you have the ooportunity, list those Bible verses so that we can be sure what we are talking about
the two angels that visited Lot: Genesis 19, that the townsmen wanted to rape
Hebrews 13:2 Do not neglect to show hospitality to strangers, for by this some have entertained angels without knowing it.
We can see that angels can appear as humans. they eat and they are entertained.
There is another one but it is not coming to mind right now.
also we see the difference outlined in DEUTERONOMY 32:8 When the Most High divided the nations, when he separated the sons of Adam, he set the bounds of the nations according to the number of the angels of God. 9 And his people Jacob became the portion of the Lord, Israel was the line of his inheritance. (Brenton's LXX)
Quoting: ruotsherI believe that you will agree with me that Deut. 32:8 speaks of the time when God destroyed the tower of Babel and scattered all of the people and confounded their speech. Remembering now that there were two lines of people, Cains and Seth's. Godly and un-Godly. The purpose was not due to there being sons of God who were angelic. God knew that Israel would one day inhabit the Promised Land, so He set all other nations in their places around the earth. BUT God reserved the Promised Land for Israel lest Israel think too much of themselves. Israel is represented as a man who is lost in a very bad desert and in danger of perishing....YET God finds him there. Hebrews 13:2. We must be careful to not read too much into that verse. Notice WHAT it says, "SOME HAVE ENTERTAINED".(aorist tense). If one uses the present tense, meaning that some do entertain angels, that would provide grounds for expecting this still happens. I fear that is what has happened her to you. IF you want to be correct, consider WHAT the verse says not what we WANT it to say.
