No need to apologize. All useful opinions are welcomed.Greetings to both you and yours.
My apologies for commenting on the discourse between both of you, if you find it rude.
Perhaps he did.It seems to me, Doveaman, that ViaCrucis did understand the questions. If the above quote is the question.
This assumes that the only visible form of God is the incarnate form of Christ.It seems as if ViaCrucis is saying that if the "only visible form God has is the Incarnate flesh of the Second person of the Trinity". Then the only form we will see in heaven is that of Jesus Christ (because the other two do not have form that we can see).
I do not agree with this assumption because Moses saw God in His preincarnate state:
Exo 33: 19 And the Lord said, “I will cause all My goodness to pass in front of you…20 you cannot see My face, for no man shall see Me and live…22 I will put you in a cleft in the rock and cover you with My hand until I have passed by. 23 Then I will remove My hand and you will see My back; but My face shall not be seen.”
Moses saw God’s back in God's preincarnate state.
The back of God in His preincarnate state, which Moses saw, may not have been in the form of a human back, but it was certainly a visible form which Moses saw.
The verses above also indicate that God in His preincarnate state has a visible face that can be seen, so that any man who sees it would die.
