Sorry, I'm having some difficulty responding to posts. I just bought a new laptop and my hands keep hitting the mouse pad while I'm typing, activating the most peculiar functions, and relocating my cursor, deleting sections, and other unanticipated actions.not entirely true either I guess, The amazing name Joshua: meaning and etymology
The Apostle John declares in the NT that no one has ever seen God. That statement would appear to contradict quite a bit of the Old Testament scripture, not the least of which are the passages in the law of Moses which describe "face to face" meetings with the Lord. The same God who says no one may see my face and live, meets face to face with Moses. This suggests that men interacted with the angel of the Lord, or with the preincarnate eternal Son of God (who is mentioned in those precise terms although somewhat indirectly.) See Proverbs 30:4 (we also see Moses rename his assistant Oshea to Joshua, so that his full name becomes Joshua son of Nun. You like Strongs concordance, look up Joshua and Nun.)
