Hell someone else told me that I didn't know God in a guild today, mainly because I criticized a guild captain for being rude in the Jewish Gaians Guild and whining that he got banned from it, when he knew the rules.
Christophonies are appearances of Jesus in the OT. "The Angel of the LORD" as opposed to "an angel of the LORD"...Every sighting of The Angel of the LORD has resulted in the person seeing Him falling to their knees and worshipping Him. If this being was an ordinary angel, he would have said, "Get up, man! What's wrong with you?! I'm not God!", but the Agel of the LORD accepted the worship. That's the belief anyway, and it's pretty much airtight from what I have read.

Ahhhh... Theophanies... Now that is a term I am familiar with.
Its really not a shut and closed case with all theologists.
Some believe it was just a Theophany of God....
Others believe (and in this case they have to believe in the Trinity) that it was the appearance of the Pre-existant Christ, hence the term Christophany.
There is merit with both beliefs. However, I have found those who believe in the Trinity follow both camps in the debate, as well as some Binitarians...
There have been many, many good books written about the Theophanies of God.

It's interesting to find that Paul mentions a christophany in 1 Corinthians 10:1-4, that is, Moses and the Israelites in the desert. smile
