Subject: Moses has seen God Face to Face |
Bible Note: Hello Vicky, I have read Num. 12:7-8. I also realize how the NKJV reads. To assert that Moses is the only person that has seen God face-to-face is to contradict scripture!! Please, re-read what I quoted, "The Bible Knowledge Commentary observes, "Yet Moses could not and did not look upon the person of God Himself for no one can do this and live (Ex. 33:17-23) for God is a Spirit (John 4:24). He saw only the form of the LORD, but even this was a privilege extended to no other man. The “form” refers to a likeness or a representation of the Lord, not the very shape." Here in Num. 12:8, a figure of speech is employed in saying "mouth to mouth" to show 'great intimacy'. We could say he was speaking "familiarly, and with really audible words." [Figures of Speech] Note the NASB, "With him I speak mouth to mouth, Even openly, and not in dark sayings, And he beholds the form of the LORD. Why then were you not afraid To speak against My servant, against Moses?" It is important to not only know what scripture says, but what it means by what it says. I still don't agree with your contention! Speaking the Truth in Love, BradK |
