Yes, I do understand all of that. Christianity teaches that the man, Jesus, had two natures--fully human during his life on earth, yet his full existence, truly divine--and, as you say, without form. Christians do understand that there are questions about the Shroud of Turin and whether it truly is the face of the crucified Jesus. There is also the Miracle at Lanciano where the communion bread, after consecration, turned into actual heart and blood tissue.
Biblical terms such as The Face of G-d, The Right Hand of G-d, The Finger of G-d are to assist us humans by using pictures we do understand. It is Christianity and the Catholic faith that dropped me into the lap of G-d--also figuratively speaking.
Ninja007 was learning about the Shroud of Turin, which told of Jesus, which calls to mind we are taught to know G-d, love G-d, and to serve G-d. To seek the face of God, we are seeking to know God ever better and to seek His face (presence) in our own lives.
As Christians we contemplate, G-d as Creatior; as Word; as Spirit. One G-d, all inclusive, as the Spirit of G-d hovered over the abyss before Creation began; as Creation started with a Word of G- d"………………. I see.. Here is the problem .. You stated that Christianity ” teachs”.. Does Christianity teach from a position of truth and knowledge and strength by holding the unpopular truth or do they teach from a position of weakness because their foundation is based on lies and folly… After all one will know them by their “ fruits” or teaching will one not… If I deem to teach what is shown in the Hebrew Scriptures in a straightforward and proper fashion showing that G-d cannot be seen in a physical or literal manner and the Christian teachings are opposite of that fact then why are such false teachings held onto… If the “ teacher” is really bad and doesn’t know what he is talking about should that teacher not be replaced or fired before your children become corrupted by errounous, illogical and mistaken concepts… If you as a parent know that said teacher is not giving your child the proper education to make your child a fully functioning adult then is it not your fault for continuing to allow that teacher to teach mistaken fundamentals to your child… Afterall as parents do we not what is best for our children… The Hebrew Scriptures are pretty straightforward if the Christian scriptures contradict them then one istelling the truth and the other is not…If you are going to hold onto the concepts and teachings of the Hebrew Scriptures by taking what you want and disregarding the rest then you are not Allowing your “ students” to grow and become all they can be which isa shame because nobody grows by getting a free get out of jail card and never taking responsibility for their own actions…
