Though God has sent messengers to earth at sundry times they are either angels or resurrected beings. Those who have been memtioned in scripture have usually been righteous men who travel either in pairs or more. If you remember three righteous men (Not angels)were sent by God to destroy Sodom. Abraham pleaded with them to preserve Sodom if three righteous men could be found. The reason that two or more are sent is that it is better to have two or more witnesses to testify.

punch the sinner carefully without bloodbecause our time is different from the time of jesus. the people today is so sinful...Answer:Who's to say [today, or at any time throughout history] that they have or have not seen angels? Throughout the Bible angels have appeared to people... as MEN!"Don't forget to be kind to strangers, for some who have done this HAVE ENTERTAINED ANGELS WITHOUT REALIZING IT!" (Heb.13:2 LVB Living Bible)In the account of "Sodom and Gomorrah"... Lot and all the men of the city saw two angels they "believed" to be "men.""That evening the two angels came to the entrance of the city of Sodom..." (Gen.19:1 LVB)."...as they were preparing to retire for the night, the men of the city -- yes, Sodomites, young and old from all over the city -- surrounded the house and shouted to Lot, 'Bring out those MEN to us so we can rape them.'" (verses 4-5)The Bible speaks of angels as being as common and normal as breathing. But, believing in them is one thing -- RECOGNIZING THEM is another.
What was the outcome of Abraham interceding for Sodom?
In Genesis 18, there is the story of Abraham bargaining with God. By the end of the chapter he gets God to agree not to destroy Sodom if only ten just men in the city. Of course there aren't - read chapter 19, He sends His angels to Lot's house, and the men of the city try to "abuse them". So they have Lot flee with his family, and God's rains down fire and brimstone on the city.
What were the reasons everyone in Sodom and Gommorah were destroyed?
Genesis (13:13)"The men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the Lord exceedingly."This verse doesn't say what the Sodomites did to make them such exceedingly great sinners, though most bible believers equate "Sodomite" with homosexual. (But see Ezekiel 16:49, which claims the sins of Sodom were pride, gluttony, sloth, greed, and failure to help the poor.)AnswerThe people of Sodom and Gomorrah engaged in depraved homosexual acts. God sent angels to the city of Sodom to see how bad things were: "Then the Lord said to Abraham, 'There are terrible accusations against Sodom and Gomorrah, and their sin is very great. I must go down to find out whether or not the accusations which I have heard are true.' (Genesis 18:20-21). On arriving in Sodom, the angels were met by Abraham's nephew Lot. Knowing the men of the city were sexual deviants, Lot urged these two visitors to stay at his home: "He kept urging them, and finally they went with him to his house. Lot ordered his servants to bake some bread and prepare a fine meal for the guests. When it was ready, they ate it." (Genesis 19:3). The magnitude of how sinful the men of Sodom and Gomorrah were is seen by their blatant disregard for committing a shocking act upon two men they didn't know: "Before the guests went to bed, the men of Sodom surrounded the house. All the men of the city, both young and old, were there. They called out to Lot and asked, 'Where are the men who came to stay with you tonight? Bring them out to us!' The men of Sodom wanted to have "sex" with them." (Genesis 19:4-5). Since it is only possible for a man and a woman to have sexual intercourse, the term used for two men engaging in a homosexual act is Sodomy, which derives from the word Sodom. The angels helped Lot, his wife and his two daughters out of the city, then God burned the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah. All who remained there were burned to death: "Suddenly the Lord rained burning sulphur on the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah and destroyed them and the whole valley, along with all the people there and everything that grew on the land." (Genesis 19:24-25). Homosexuality is as much a sin today as it was back then. God decreed a law against the abhorrent act: "If a man has sexual relations with another man, they have done a digusting thing, and both shall be put to death. They are responsible for their own death." (Leviticus 20:13). Scriptures taken from the 'Sunrise Good News Bible.'Gommorah in parsi which is driven from sanskrit(ver ancient) means people who have lost their path, obviusly in ths case meaning the paht of righteousness.You should also not the passages that refer to Sodom in Jude 1:7. Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire.
When did three angels appear to Abraham in the Bible?
-----------------------When three men appeared to Abraham in the plains of Mamre (Genesis 18), we are left in no doubt that the Lord was present and no attempt is made to assert that the men were angels. In the original Hebrew, they are described as elohim, or 'gods'. Not real gods, but gods of myth. Abraham negotiated with one of the gods, the Lord, to spare the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah if good men could be found to live there. Here, the Lord was the God of the Israelites. Recognising that the three were in some way divine, not merely angels, Bruce Feiler (Abraham) tries to rationalise the presence of three Lords by saying that God appeared at once as three men, and was not just one of the men.In the biblical account, this meeting occurred just before the destruction of Sodom and is traditionally placed somewhere around 2000 BCE.
Who are the three visitors with Abraham that told him and Sarah they going to have a child in there old age?
Answer 1In Genesis chapter 19, two anthropomorphic elohim came to Sodom and visited Abraham's nephew, Lot. The Hebrew word elohim actually means 'gods'. Consistent with strict monotheism, the English translation is given as 'angels', but as the passage progresses it does not maintain this meaning very easily. The men were not mere messengers, but exercised more power than 'angels' in any other passage in the Bible, and in addition, Lot deferred to them as if to deities.When three men appeared to Abraham in the plains of Mamre, we are left in no doubt that the Lord was present and no attempt is made to assert that the men were angels. Abraham negotiated with one of the men, the Lord, to spare the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah if good men could be found to live there.

If angels were to govern men?

Where does the phrase Peace on Earth Goodwill Toward Men come from?
The phrase "Peace on Earth, goodwill toward men" comes from the Bible, specifically Luke 2:14 in the New Testament. It is part of the angelic announcement to the shepherds about the birth of Jesus. The message conveys a wish for peace and goodwill to prevail among all people.
Who visited Abram in Genesis?
God and two angelsAnswerIn Genesis chapters 18 and 19, 'elohim came to visit first Abraham, then Abraham's nephew, Lot, in Sodom. The Hebrew word 'elohim means gods (or, when used in a singular context or with a singular verb, God), but consistent with strict monotheism, the English translation is almost always given as 'angels' but as the passage progresses it does not maintain this meaning very easily. When three men appeared to Abraham in the plains of Mamre (Genesis 18) we are left in no doubt that the Lord was present and no attempt is made to assert that the men were angels. Abraham negotiated with one of the men, the Lord, to spare the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah if good men could be found to live there. Here, the Lord was the supreme God of the Israelites and these were not angels, but gods - not real gods, but gods of myth. Bruce Feiler (Abraham) tries to rationalise the presence of three Lords by saying that God appeared at once as three men, and was not just one of the men.
