Once upon a time, long long ago, way down yonder in Sodom land...

    Genesis  19

     1. And there came <0935> (8799) two <08147> *ANGELS* <04397> to Sodom
                                                  ^^^^^^
    <05467> at even <06153>; and Lot <03876> sat <03427> (8802) in the
    gate <08179> of Sodom <05467>: and Lot <03876> seeing <07200> (8799)
    [them] rose up <06965> (8799) to meet <07125> (8800) them; and he
    bowed <07812> (8691) himself with his face <0639> toward the ground
    <0776>;

     2 And he said <0559> (8799), Behold now, my lords <0113>, turn in
    <05493> (8798), I pray you, into your servant's <05650> house <01004>,
    and tarry all night <03885> (8798), and wash <07364> (8798) your feet
    <07272>, and ye shall rise up early <07925> (8689), and go <01980>
    (8804) on your ways <01870>. And they said <0559> (8799), Nay; but we
    will abide <03885> (0) in the street <07339> all night <03885> (8799).

     3 And he pressed <06484> (8799) upon them greatly <03966>; and they
    turned in <05493> (8799) unto him, and entered <0935> (8799) into his
    house <01004>; and he made <06213> (8799) them a feast <04960>, and
    did bake <0644> (8804) unleavened bread <04682>, and they did eat
    <0398> (8799).

     4. But before they lay down <07901> (8799), the men <0582> of the
    city <05892>, [even] the men <0582> of Sodom <05467>, compassed
    <05437> (0) the house <01004> round <05437> (8738), both old <02205>
    and young <05288>, all the people <05971> from every quarter <07097>:

     5 And they called <07121> (8799) unto Lot <03876>, and said <0559>
    (8799) unto him, Where [are] the *MEN* <0582> which came in <0935>
                                      ^^^
    (8804) to thee this night <03915>? bring them out <03318> (8685) unto
    us, that we may know <03045> (8799) them.


Note that Ge 19:1 calles these beings "angels", yet v5 calls them
"men".  

Come on, Bro. Gossett, you can't have it both ways; which is it?  Were
they angels, or were they men?  And was Melchizedek a man, yet without
controversy even like unto a theophany?  I think so.

Please take the tone of this post as a good natured challenge, not an
attack.  I did not mean it to sound quite as it turned out.  :-)
