Has God Ever Walked On THe Earth?

[Gary51]

This might sound like a silly question. But I'm not sure if He has or not.

I know that Jesus is God, and He has walked the Earth. But did the Father ever walk the Earth?

Also did Jesus ever come to the Earth in the OT times?

According to the Orthodox Church. Christ is the person walking in the garden in the cool of the evening in Genesis.

The Father has no physical form that we know of.

Forgive me...

I like the sound of that, but is there any scripture to back it up?

I believe yes. He is in many instances the "Angel of the Lord" spoken of in the O.T.

What about this... If God walked with Adam... it must have been Jesus... because didn't Jesus say that no one has ever seen the Father?

I never found that forcing my logic on something ever worked. So many things are based "on faith", and for a reason.

Forgive me...

well unless the word "walk" is used in the spiritail sense. Meaning "Adam was super close to God". As for the angel of the Lord? Who's to say it's not an actul angel? The angels were majestic so it was probably easy for the OT writers to confuse them with God himself. In revelation, John encounters an angel and is strongly tempted to bow down to it because it is so glorious!

God never walked the earth in the OT. Though in Revelation 21-22 he "dwells with men". Not sure if this means a literal dwelling or a spiritail one.... but one things' for certain. God WILL dwell with us one day.

 

[OrthodoxyUSA]

The word Angel means "messenger", literally.

Is Christ just a messenger?

Forgive me...

Christ says if "you have seen me, you have seen the father." and "I am in the Father, and the Father is in me." so, I'd say yes..

When Moses said show me your glory what happened?


God said no one can see my face lest they die. God put Moses into the cleft of a rock.And covered the face of Moses with his hand till he walked past Moses then the Lord removed his hand and let Moses look upon His backside.

It is believed that the hypostasis of the Logos appeared in the OT. Who is forever begotten of the Father, but not made.

The Jews evidently agree

"Before the meeting began I had distributed a study about the Logos in the Old Testament according to the Fathers of the Nine Orthodox Ecumenical Councils. [ 4 ] The Jewish representatives reacted by pointing out that is was the first time that they encountered Christians who could point out Who the Logos is in the Old Testament and also asked permission to reproduce this little paper and distribute it."
