James J. Strang on John 4:24

  

16. It is sometimes objected, that “God is a spirit.” (John iv, 24.) So are Angels “spirits sent forth to minister to them who shall be heirs of salvation.” (Heb. I, 14:) and yet when Abraham and Lot saw them they mistook them for men, (Gen. xviii, 2, 5, 16-20. xix, 1, 15,) and John the Revelator mistook one for God, and was about to worship him, but he said, “See thou do it not: for I am thy fellow servant, and of thy brethren the Prophets.” (Rev. xxii, 8, 9.) (James J. Strang, The Book of the Law of the Lord, Being a Translation from the Egyptian of the Law Given to Moses in Sinai, with Numerous and Valuable Notes [Burlington, Wis.: Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, 1991], 56)
