Holy angels change their physical form at will. Hebrews 13:2? Angels are really demons in disguise? Aliens?

Question

Hebrews 13:2
Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some have entertained angels unawares. (KJV)

Answer 1

the apostle Paul mentioned a quality manifested by those who follow Christ, ‘render sacred service with godly fear and awe,’ and have Jehovah as their Helper. He urged: “Do not forget hospitality, for through it some, unknown to themselves, entertained angels.” (Hebrews 13:2) Who unknowingly “entertained angels”? Well, the patriarch Abraham was the host for three angels. (Genesis 18:1-22) Two of them departed, and his nephew Lot invited these very strangers into his home in Sodom. Before they could retire, however, Lot’s house was surrounded by a mob, “from boy to old man.” They demanded that Lot turn over his guests for immoral purposes, but he staunchly refused. Though Lot did not know it at first, he had entertained angels, who then assisted him and his daughters to escape death when ‘God rained down fire and sulphur from heaven upon Sodom and Gomorrah.’—Genesis 19:1-26) Demons are angels, not aliens. Angels can't be actually seen like we see humans, so they changed (in the past) their form in order to be seen by humans. they too were created in God's image, and God can't be seen, can He? Even Moses who insisted to see His face couldn't see His face, he just saw a bit of his glory : in the end his face glowed with light. Imagine if he had seen God in His entirety! That's because no one can see God and live. (Exodus 33:18-20) Those angels were commissioned by God to humans, so evidently they had to assume a form in which they COULD be seen by humans.

Answer 2

In the ancient world hospitality was regarded as a solemn duty. Among the Greeks Zeus himself, under the title "Zeus Xenios" ("Zeus the patron god of strangers"), defended the sacred tie between host and guest and rained down punishment against any breach of this tie. Often Zeus and other gods were believed to assume the role of nomad and brought great blessings to those that treated him with hospitality.

I did a very exhaustive study of Hebrews a while ago, and here is Hebrews 13, it seems that almost all of the orthodox theologians (Calvin, FF Bruce, Barnes, Lightfoot, Milligan, Clarke, Boatman, etc) believe this verse to be speaking of angels in the celestial sense, more particularly the "three men" who visited Abraham and Lot before the destruction of sodom.; this seems to be the most popular interpretation. I would like to take the opportunity to relate to you another interpretation of this verse, at first it may seem a bit unorthodox, but when we put all the puzzle together I think it may make sense.

Hebrews 13:2 (KJV) Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby * * some have entertained angels unawares.

Note that in the original Greek, aggelos simply means "messenger". Depending on the context, it could mean an angelic, celestial being, or it could refer to any Christian who comes as a messenger of the gospel of Christ. Notice that aggelos is also used in Mark 1:2, there it is translated messenger as it is speaking about John the Baptist, he was not an "angel", rather a man, but the same Greek word is used:

Mark 1:2 (KJV) As it is written in the prophets, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.

That being noted, lets go back to Hebrews 13:2. If we translate aggelos in Hebrews 13:2 as messengers as opposed to celestial beings or angels, that would most likely be the correct translation and would make for a much clearer rather than obscure understanding of the passage. We are to show hospitality to strangers because we never know if they could be one of God's elect; this harmonizes with what we read elsewhere in the New Testament epistles, (see Galatians 6:10; 1 Timothy 3:2; Titus 1:8; 1 Peter 4:9.).

Answer 3

Yes angels are able to change their forms at will.

There are also angels who we would refer to as demons or fallen angels. These were tossed out of Heaven with Satan and all shows loyalty to him. What people actually describe as seeing aliens, ghosts or apparitions are really demon manifestations.

However the other angels defer in the sense that they show loyalty and devotedness to God and only acts as He commands.

all the best

Answer 4

Only a small amount of angels followed Satan, the rest of the Angels are still faithful servants of God.

In the Christian Greek Scriptures love toward the stranger is strongly emphasized as a quality the Christian must exercise. The apostle Paul says: “Do not forget hospitality, “fondness for strangers”, for through it some, unknown to themselves, entertained angels.” (Heb 13:2) Jesus showed that he counts hospitality extended to his brothers, strangers or unacquainted though they may be at the time, as having been extended toward him.

The sons of God mentioned at Genesis 6:2, therefore, must have been angels, spirit “sons of God.” This expression is applied to angels at Job 1:6; 38:7. This view is supported by Peter, who speaks of “the spirits in prison, who had once been disobedient when the patience of God was waiting in Noah’s days.” Also Jude writes of “the angels that did not keep their original position but forsook their own proper dwelling place.” Angels had the power to materialize in human form, and some angels did so to bring messages from God. But heaven is the proper abode of spirit persons, and the angels there have positions of service under Jehovah. To leave this abode to dwell on earth and to forsake their assigned service to have fleshly relations would be rebellion against God’s laws, and perversion.

In times past, invisible spirit creatures, angels, have materialized visible human bodies at God’s direction. But in the days of Noah, some of them did so on their own initiative. Why? For the selfish purpose of enjoying sexual relations with women. (Genesis 6:2) Since this was not God’s arrangement for angels, their step was one of disobedience.

Jesus actually “became flesh” when he came to earth. (John 1:14) Not so these angels. They simply materialized human bodies that they deserted at the time of the Flood in order to return to the spirit realm.

Answer 5

Backwards. All demons are angels in being spirits. All angels are not demons as most remain loyal to their Creator. Aliens....possibly. It would explain why anyone if they were from another section of the universe would appear in this backwater place.

The scripture here refers to angels who might appear to humans in the course of their jobs or responsibilities. We would be unaware and never know.

Answer 6

No! But Demons? Maybe.. you need a shirt that says : Angel in the making!

Answer 7

Ummm you make no sense. No where in that verse does it say that angels change form. It just says that they walk amoung us. So demons, Aliens? You need help. READ THE BIBLE

Answer 8

No they can't change their physical form at will, no they aren't demons in disguise even though demons can appear as angels of light, definiately not aliens.

They can just appear to us as normal people.

Answer 9

No, both demons and angels are actually Transformers (robots in disguise)

Answer 10

There are fallen angels and holy angels.
