In the Tanach you can see God as a likeness of a human, described as "one like the son of man". He has a form that is recognizable. Go check out all the early Israeli and Hebrew references to "the second Yahweh" seen often in the Tanach. They (the godhead) decided to make us as IMAGERS of God's essence. To be and act like Him.

Deborah, here is another scripture: in both revelation and Ezekiel we have the 4 faces of God as reflected in the Cheribum. One of them is the face of a man. The 4 faces of God is again reflected in the 4 gospels when the Word was made flesh and came and dwelt among us. when God said let us create man in our own image, it means that God can become incarnate as a Man and dwell among man. Jesus is both fully Man and fully God . Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. God is a personal God. He has created us in his image: The desire to love and be loved in return, we all long for beauty, for greatness, for fascination, for intimacy . Those are all the emotions the longings that are in the heart of God. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Go check out all the early Israeli and Hebrew references to "the second Yahweh" seen often in the Tanach. They (the godhead) decided to make us as IMAGERS of God's essence. To be and act like Him. In the OT, it mentioned the Angel Yahweh who appeared to Abraham and ate lunch with him. In the book of Zechariah : vision of horse patrol. The man is the angel of the LORD 1:11 (Hebrew angelYaweh, one word). This is the pre-incarnate Christ who appears in the form of an angel. He is seen stationed in the midst of the lowly myrtle tree . He is deeply involved with his people. He is watching all that happens to them. I am a spirit, I have a soul ( emotion desire longing) and I live in a body. God is a spirit but he has emotion desires longing . But his are more intense and stronger than ours. From scripture it appears that God can also take on the form of a man. in Ephesians Paul focus on the heavenly realm being joined with the early realm. This will happen when the Fathers throne will come down to earth. The tabernacle of God will be with man. In the heavenly realm, you don't need a body but in the early realm you do. I would expect that the Father who is a spirit will also relate to us in the form of a man just as the pre-incarnate Christ did. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He loves His creation and He is seen in this body many times in the Tanach. He likes it. Our bodies are the pinnacle of His Creation. We will not be just spirits flitting from cloud to cloud, but we will be the newly introduced members of His Heavenly and Earthly council. As in Heaven, so also on Earth. "Walked with God" is rare. Enoch, the Garden and a couple others. Deut. and Lev. A human/divine form. See also Daniel (human). The ESV is a better translation to more readily understand the Theophany appearances. I use this as a companion to the King James and NASB. Edited August 31, 2019 by Justin Adams 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This goes hand in hand from my understanding. One ignites the other, with little to be separated once lit. Let your light so shine... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess Saul saw him, and perhaps Stephen. I also have heard of Him appearing to certain people on earth. So I suppose the answer is Yes. There are some eerie accounts as well. I do not think God has ever been restricted to anything and can do as He pleases. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
