Exodus 33:20

But He said, “You cannot see My face, for no man can see Me and live!”

Assuming He has a face. Moses was being anthropomorphic, of course. Perhaps like ibn Tamiyyah.

The more primitive people to whom Moses was talking at that time, would have needed to be taught in simplistic, material and physical terms. They could no more understand that it is mankind's ability to sense the existence of a "future", an about-to-be, that is the reason Scripture states man was "made in God's image". Not in any material attribute.

Does He? Are humans that important to God? Does God have nothing to do but make sure mankind does not destroy himself? Inch Allah---God willing?

when speaking to moses,,, moses requests to see him,, he hides him in the crevice of a mountain as he passes by,,,
so that moses will not die in his presence exodus 33:18-20

exodus 33:17
The Glory of the Lord
…17The LORD said to Moses, "I will also do this thing of which you have spoken; for you have found favor in My sight and I have known you by name." 18Then Moses said, "I pray You, show me Your glory!" 19And He said, "I Myself will make all My goodness pass before you, and will proclaim the name of the LORD before you; and I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show compassion on whom I will show compassion."…

Exodus 33:20 And he said, You can not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live.

You are saying God has nothing to do but make sure the human species does not destroy itself?

You do realize that it is the height of arrogance to believe that the human species is alone in the universe? (This in answer to Arthur C. Clarke's quote: “Two possibilities exist: either we are alone in the Universe or we are not. Both are equally terrifying.”

But then, because YOU have a superior religion, YOU are a superior man. No wonder God must want to save you. By k*****g his son.

This statment illustrates your profound ignorance of the dual nature of Jesus Christ. Actually it better illustrates what a pismire troll you are Kira Seer. Go back to Russia with the rest of your atheistic compatriots.

Apparently you did not have a chance to read my comment on why God cannot take on human characteristics, under my alias: KiraSeer2016.

Can't find it right now, but goes something like this (I dumbed it down somewhat so you can understand it): Since mankind lives in the ever-becoming space-time-material reality, and God doesn't change, ever, then God cannot be made into something that, as the classical Greeks would have it, is "corruptible", (meaning "changing into something else").

You really should read all my posts, and those of both CarolSeer and KiraSeer, before you try to refute me. You insist on making a fool out of yourself. In fact, why don't you start by re-reading your own post. Because you cannot refute me, you resort to "ad hominem" attacks, to use a euphemism.

Here's a question for you: Must I be a Christian to enjoy God's love?

Exactly. Why even bother to read my posts. You just might learn something. And that could hurt you. You might have to let go of any or all immature thinking you have absorbed in your life.

By the way, as I've warned other posters on this forum--Glaucon, for one; be careful how you respond to me. There are those who find it d********g.

Ordinarily I wouildn't bother but you keep shifting identifirers. Be careful in making threats, there are those who become extremely irritated when threatened and have the means and will to do something about those threats.
