Subject: Did Moses seen God face to face? |
Bible Note: I agree with Moses and John and see no contradiction. According to my other post, I believe each time the Word says no-one has saw God at anytime, it is saying no one has seen the Father at anytime, and each OT physical encounter man has had with God, is God the Son. I see I gave the same scripture reference (Num 12:8) as Tim, but for different reasons. I gave to state that Moses’s testimony was true and did not contradict. He gave to explain the meaning of "face to face" as a figure of speech to describe the close relationship God had with Moses. I can believe that as a valid meaning, and will not insist on my literal thinking here. Either way, Moses did not write his words, but God’s words, (2Pe 1:20-21) and I can guarantee you they are true! I will address your other questions of whether the OT prophets were aware of Jesus, here, instead of under the post where you raised the questions, if that is OK bro. Jesus said in John 8:56 "Your father Abraham rejoiced to see My day, and he saw it and was glad." Jesus also said in Luke 10:24 "for I tell you that many prophets and kings have desired to see what you see, and have not seen it, and to hear what you hear, and have not heard it." So, by that, I gather they were aware of God the son. Thanks bro, for a sincere desire to teach and to learn; the heart of a true disciple! Gods Word is true! retxar |
