If man, in the Torah, cannot see God, how do Christians pretend to have lived with God?
The Old testament tells us that no man can ever see God. This was denied to Moses himself. In Exodus 33: 19 we are informed:
The Lord replied, I will make all my goodness pass before you, and I will call out my name, the Lord', to you. I will show kindness to anyone I choose, and I will show mercy to anyone I choose. But you may not look directly at my face, for no one may see me and live.'
It can be very well understood that matter is immediately dissolved into nothingness if it is exposed in its form and shape directly to God.
If the Torah informs us of such an eventuality then how can Christians live, see, eat with, drink with and accompany Jesus Christ, some two thousands of years ago in the Bethlehem and Nazareth and finally Golgotha, if he is God as they all proclaim? Being the son of God or God Himself Jesus Christ would not have shown himself to any human beings! Or they would be dead or annihilated as the torah confirms!
The four Gospels of Matthew, Luke, Mark and John, and some one billion and a half of Christians today, affirm that Jesus Christ is the son of God, having the same qualities and same powers, nature and form. These Gospels affirm that Jesus Christ is God the father and the son at one and the same time. They affirm further that Jesus is not only the son of God and the father but also part of the trinity with the holy spirit, the poor archangel Gabriel forced into the Godship doctrine of the Christians.
Is this plausible, or somewhere some terrible mistake has been done, whether by the four apostles companions to Christ or by the rest of the Christians from two thousands of years until now?
The Qur'an, in Chapter 7 verse 143, informs us of the same event as it is mentioned in the Torah and that Moses was refused the demand to see God directly:
And when Moses came to Our appointed tryst and his Lord had spoken unto him, he said: My Lord! Show me (yourself), that I may see You. He said: You will not see me, but look upon the mountain! If it stand still in its place, then you will see Me. And when his Lord revealed (His) glory unto the mountain, He sent it crashing down into dust. And Moses fell down unconscious shocked. And when he woke up he said: Glory unto You! I turn unto You repentant, and I am the first among believers.'
But Christians are wiser for they saw God in flesh and blood, they lived with Him and saw Him being crucified by some Roman soldiers of King Herod.
How odd for Christians to believe in what they believe!
