GOD HAS THE FORM AND LIKENESS OF MAN-JPR Hold on, just before you raise the blasphemy flag, kindly take your time to thoroughly peruse this writeup with an open heart to end. Numbers 23:19 states: God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good? Of course God is not man. This does not mean God cannot manifest in the form and appearance of man which He has done several times in scripture (1 Timothy 3:16). The God of the Bible; called YHWH, Elohim, I AM and the like is the only true God. He made all things for his own pleasure. 16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: 17 And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. 18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence. 19 For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell; 20 And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven (Colossians 1:16-20). He is omniscient, omnipotent and omnipresent. He has no beginning and no end of days; this is illogical to the natural mind just as rocket science is foolishness to a dog. The mind of man cannot fully fathom and comprehend the full magnitude of this great God (God of Israel). God is bigger than the universe and everything that exists. God actually does not exist, atheists are right. This is so because, this God created existence, so He is outside of existence. The operations of this God is like telecommunications signals; everywhere yet unseen with the natural lies. God is spirit, in His spiritual form, none can see Him and live. He has a body, just like man is a spirit that lives in a body. Don't forget God made man in His own image and likeness. For God to physically interact with man, He appears physically in a human form. This is not strange, even angels who are creatures of God possess this ability. In the garden of Aden, God would interact with man when man was operating fully in spirit. In Genesis 18, God appeared to Abraham in a human form. God was with two angels who had likewise taken human forms too. 1 The Lord appeared to Abraham near the great trees of Mamre while he was sitting at the entrance to his tent in the heat of the day. 2 Abraham looked up and saw three men standing nearby. When he saw them, he hurried from the entrance of his tent to meet them and bowed low to the ground. 3 He said, “If I have found favor in your eyes, my lord,[a] do not pass your servant by. 4 Let a little water be brought, and then you may all wash your feet and rest under this tree. 5 Let me get you something to eat, so you can be refreshed and then go on your way—now that you have come to your servant.” “Very well,” they answered, “do as you say.” Genesis 18:1-5. Some misinterprete this to suggest God is made of three separate but equal persons (Trinity) but this is heretic. It was God (YHWH) with two angels. Verse 22 of this same eighteenth chapter clarifies this: The men turned away and went toward Sodom, but Abraham remained standing before the Lord (Genesis 18:22). Note that, the two men (Angels) left Abraham and the Lord for Sodom and Gomorrha since they had been sent, but the Lord alone was with Abraham. The prophet Ezekiel saw God in His human form seated on the throne. When the creatures moved, I heard the sound of their wings, like the roar of rushing waters, like the voice of the Almighty, like the tumult of an army. When they stood still, they lowered their wings. Then there came a voice from above the expanse over their heads as they stood with lowered wings. Above the expanse over their heads was what looked like a throne of sapphire, and high above on the throne was a figure like that of a man. I saw that from what appeared to be his waist up he looked like glowing metal, as if full of fire, and that from there down he looked like fire; and brilliant light surrounded him. Like the appearance of a rainbow in the clouds on a rainy day, so was the radiance around him. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the LORD. When I saw it, I fell facedown, and I heard the voice of one speaking (Ezekiel 1:24-28). The prophet Isaiah prophesied the human birth (physical manifestation) of this great God in Isaiah 9:6&7 6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. 7 Of the increase of his government and peace there shall be no end, upon the throne of David, and upon his kingdom, to order it, and to establish it with judgment and with justice from henceforth even for ever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this. The apostle John whom Jesus loved saw Him even after He had ascended into the heavens in the form of man. This was John's description of God: "And I turned to see the voice that was speaking with me. And having turned, I saw seven golden lampstands; and in the middle of the lampstands one like the Son of Man, clothed in a robe reaching to the feet, and girded across His breast with a golden girdle. And His head and His hair were white like wool, like snow; and His eyes were like a flame of fire; and His feet were like burnished bronze, when it had been caused to glow in a furnace, and His voice was like the sound of many waters. And in His right hand He held seven stars, and out of His mouth came a sharp two-edged sword; and His face was like the sun shining in its strength. And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as a dead man. And He laid His right hand upon me, saying, 'Do not be afraid; I am the first and the last, and the living One; and I was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of death and of Hades." (Revelation 1:12-18). Who else is the first and the last? Remember there can only be one First and the Last. Who else is the everlasting Father except God? In fact, this child that was to be born is the Father himself, inferring from Isaiah 9. God made man to be His representative here on earth, no wonder the Lord Jesus asked the Jews, "Don't you know that ye are Gods?" Man is a little God, son of the most high God. A representative has the form and likeness of the one he represents, though the latter is superior and the only potentate. Just as man is spirit living in a body, God has a body too. The body of God is the man Jesus Christ. In heaven, the Lord Jesus is seated on the throne of God. Jesus Christ is the exact image of the living God (The Holy Spirit) who cannot be seen (Colossians 1:15) Jesus Christ is God Almighty . |
