1 | God has a backside or is it His anger? | Exodus | Tamara Brewington | 204009 | ||
OK next question because of the kooky professor... Moses didn't realy see the back side of God because God is a spirit wihtout a front or a back. And by the way has no spiritual body, even though Paul says there are spiritual bodies and physical bodies. Moses never saw any part of God and further God did not hide Moses with His hand to shield Moses from His glory because He doesn't have a hand. Then to top it off the back side of God that He showed Moses was his sterness and anger like in Jeremiah 18:17... Are you laughing yet? I was, but honestly I am interseted in what you think of his take on this because God is a spirit. My answer was that there are spiritual bodies and that God said He has a front a back and a hand, how you gonna tell God he don't? Tell me what you all think. God Bless, Tamara | ||||||
2 | God has a backside or is it His anger? | Exodus | srbaegon | 204010 | ||
Hello Tamara, Jer. 18:17 is using words of displeasure in judgment. Why would God arbitrarily show Moses his anger in Exodus? Moses asked to see God's glory. God basically said, "Sure, except I cannot let you see my full glory." (no man could look at his face and live - Ex 33:20). As for the anthropomorphisms of Exodus 33, I do not try to explain how it all worked. I simply believe God figured it out for himself. Steve |

3 | God has a backside or is it His anger? | Exodus | Tamara Brewington | 204023 | ||
Ok Steve thanks I agree, so in light of this response do you see why perhaps I think of both Moses and us getting changed into states of glory because of seeing God's glory? I keep thinking about the angels, who have spiritual bodies which have fronts, backs, sides and wings, although some of them have four front sides... Is it possible then, that God was not simply using anthropormorphisms, but that He actually has a front back etc.? God bless, Tamara | ||||||

Hi Tamara, That's an interesting thought. We usual think of the spiritual as being without circumscribed points relative to the object--just sort of "there." Something for me to chew on. Steve |
