Such a description helped people of the time to understand a Deity which they could not visualise. That is also why Jesus described Heaven as a mansion, and hell as an everlasting fire. He used descriptions that people were familiar with.<br /><br />Had He said, God is a Spirit in the sky, I doubt many would have understood.<br /><br />God bless you, Brian.Victor S E Moubarakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04280638667651857296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2100862372880209397.post-5750193457000071822021-02-07T15:51:11.690-08:002021-02-07T15:51:11.690-08:00You are so right, Mariette.

Which I think is a safe assumption.<br /><br />On the other hand, we humans are intensely visual creatures, so I also figure it's natural that we make visual references that (can) help us think about and contemplate God.<br /><br />The whole business of the Trinity - three persons, one God - has been a public relations issue for two millennia now, and that's another topic. :)Brian H.
