If one accepts that God is infinite, that idea has consequences, and our words and thoughts can reach their limits of understanding.

An infinite God can communicate with us in a way that we can understand. We can know God’s communication, but not God’s essence. God’s communication can be in the form of a man, as in the case of Abraham in Genesis 18, but it is not God’s essence.

And God prohibits us from worshiping His communications.

This is where I dis-agree with you.....

As I have said several times to you is that Abraham in Genesis 18 was conversing with a person a *Man* a Physical being, do you know of some other kind of entity that can eat human food and have 2 human feet???

Abraham bowed to him, and like on that other post..No Angels would require us to bow before them....

There is a saying: Religion is Man’s attempt to please GOD..(Legalism and Spiritualism) Jesus Christ is G-d coming down to Mankind....

What I at least hope you consider, is that ABraham was speaking to a prson he knew was the *LORD*
