Bible Question:
How many people did God talk to? Not by angels or in visions, but how many people actually were involved in a talk with God? |
Bible Answer: Num 12:6 He said, "Hear now My words: If there is a prophet among you, I, the LORD, shall make Myself known to him in a vision. I shall speak with him in a dream. Num 12:7 "Not so, with My servant Moses, He is faithful in all My household; Num 12:8 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?" Matt 17:5 While he was still speaking, a bright cloud overshadowed them, and behold, a voice out of the cloud said, "This is My beloved Son, with whom I am well-pleased; listen to Him!" Hi judfre, I'm not sure what JohnnyRay's talking about. How can you always be sure which person of the Trinity is speaking? But since the Son is God, God has still spoken to man, I mean before the Son was incarnate. You question was who did God speak to, not who did God the Fater speak to. The two verses above illustrate that God spoke to Moses in the OT (again, which person I don't know) and God the Father spoke to a few of the apostles in the NT. As to how many people God spoke to, I don't know, but I'm curious to know why do you want to know, judfre? Why is the question important to you? |
