So, how do you explain Genesis 22:11,15, 28:12 (angels in heaven), 
Exodus 3:2 (fire-resistant human?), Numbers 22:31 (invisible), Judges 
6:21, 13:20 (disappears, ascends in flame), 2 Kings 19:35 (how could one 
man kill so many in one night?), Psalm 103:20, 148:2 (contexts of 
heavenly beings), Job 4:18 (contrasted with humans), etc etc?
