That's a common argument, but compleely without proof. It exists only because it is the only way God can be effectively rationalised by intelligent people. But it is still simply an idea, an imagining if you will.

dash, I have to go out on the town for now, but please feel free to email me your rebuttals.

Good Evening.

dash,

Would you like to cite the scripture in the OT where God told Moses he was giving his people a lower law than the one that He originally wrote?

Next, God does not exist within this Universe. He does not exist within Space/Time, so it would be impossible for a being-MAN-constrained by space/time, a feeble intellect, to understand a Being which does not reside within space/time. Since God does not exist within space/time, he cannot be seen in the same way another man-constrained by PHYSICS of the known universe-would be seen.

Moses come down from the mount the first time, seeing the Israelites in idol worship & rebellion, so he destroyed the tablets containing the law. Then he went back up the mountain, got the lower law, called the Ten Commandments. When people simply won't listen God with draws. Christ said don't throw pearls before the swine, referring to hypocrites. And the Gospel didn't come to the gentiles until after Christ's death. I guess God often doesn't force himself on the unwilling.

With 1, 2, and 3 in mind, we can see how man is INFINITELY ill-equipped to wrap his mind around, much less communicate the experience which is so far out of his element, indeed, so ALIEN to his very body and intellect, so as to render him very helpless indeed in description. Surely he grasps for the best available of his puny, mortal, imperfect words...with the best of his puny, imperfect, and unable intellect to communicate the transcendent.

Genesis 18
1And the LORD appeared unto him in the plains of Mamre: and he sat in the tent door in the heat of the day;

2And he lift up his eyes and looked, and, lo, three men stood by him: and when he saw them, he ran to meet them from the tent door, and bowed himself toward the ground,

3And said, My LORD, if now I have found favour in thy sight, pass not away, I pray thee, from thy servant:

3. When a man experiences such a powerful experience of the Divine, the likes of which most men NEVER do... they are taken from their normal element, which they are BEST ABLE TO DESCRIBE, and THRUST into an UNKNOWN element, which they have not had day-to-day experiences describing so as to communicate the depth and breadth of the experience to those around.

2. The language of man is in itself constrained by the their intellect and inability to completely circumscribe emotion, visual experience, thought, etc.

dash,

If the scripture says that no one has seen God at any time, what does that self-contained statement mean to you?

Thus, we brings ourselves to logical coherency regarding the testimony of those men with respect to their experiences with God.

1. Men are constrained by the words they speak to explain their experiences with a perfect, transcendent Being, who is beyond the human ability to completely comprehend and describe in totality.
