1 | Which God appeared and talked to Abram? | Gen 17:1 | EdB | 232476 | ||
Genesis 17:1 (NASB) 1 Now when Abram was ninety-nine years old, the LORD appeared to Abram and said to him, "I am God Almighty; Walk before Me, and be blameless. John 1:18 (NASB) 18 No one has seen God at any time; the only begotten God who is in the bosom of the Father, He has explained Him. It seems we have a contradiction but let us consider yet one more verse. John 4:24 (NASB) 24 "God is spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth." I believe this tells us God the Father is Spirit and natural man in his present form does not see Spirits. What we are seeing is a Christophanies, that is when one the Godhead becomes manifest to natural man it is really Jesus Christ that man is actually seeing. I might add this is the only explanation that removes the clear contradiction between Gen 17:1 and John 1:18 |

2 | Which God appeared and talked to Abram? | Gen 17:1 | elder4yhwh | 232523 | ||
My view on Gen 17 is that whomever Abram was speaking to was an respensitive sent on God's behalf (it was a fleshly being) Here are some other scriptures to vailidate my point. Gen 32:22-32 It was a person (he wrestled with) Num 14:14 He appeared in the Fire and the cloud (something that they can see) Duet 5:4 He spoke from fire which in that tense he communicated with him by means of fire. Judges 6:22 Once again it was a respresentive sent by God with a answer. In all places mentioned above a person can "see God" in HIS many forms. |

3 | God in a human form | Gen 17:1 | 00123 | 232525 | ||
Is that biblically true that God who appeared in a human form in the Old testament was always Jesus, never God the Father or God the Holy Spirit? | ||||||
4 | God in a human form | Gen 17:1 | elder4yhwh | 232526 | ||
Jesus has always been our advocate even in the Old Testament. God the Father doesn't deal with sinners directly. |
