I have been studying alot lately many times in the Bible it say different men " walked with GOD" does this go to say that they literally walked with the ALMIGHTY. Or did GOD come into their body and walk with them? It is a very curious subject.

I'm posting the link to an article that gives a Bible-based explanation of "walking in God's name", which is essentially the same as "walking with God".

It is commendable that you are searching the Scriptures! So many simply accept what they are raised -- or are otherwise told --to believe.
You already seem to know that it is just as Important to Check to make sure that you have the Proper Understanding ... Some things in the Bible can't be understood unless compared with other Scriptures, but those can be difficult to find -- & just as difficult to figure out -- without a guide. Since you are searching the Bible, I think you'll appreciate this article, as well:

What Does It Mean to Walk With God?
3 Of course, a flesh-and-blood human cannot literally take a walk with Jehovah, a spirit being. (Exodus 33:20; John 4:24) So when the Bible speaks of humans walking with God, it uses figurative language. It paints a remarkable word picture, one that rises above national and cultural boundaries and that even transcends time. After all, in what place or era would people be unable to grasp the concept of one person walking in company with another? This word picture conveys warmth and closeness, does it not? Such feelings give us some insight into what it means to walk with God.
Remember the faithful men Enoch and Noah. Why are they described as walking with God? (Genesis 5:24; 6:9) In the Bible, the term “to walk” often means to follow a certain course of action. Enoch and Noah chose a course in life that was in harmony with the will of Jehovah God. Unlike those in the world around them, they looked to Jehovah for guidance and obeyed his direction. They trusted in him. In effect, as we walk through life, we take that journey in close company with Jehovah.
5 The Bible often likens life to a journey or a walk.
How and Why Walk With God?
5 How can we walk with the all-powerful, invisible God? Clearly, not in the way that we walk with fellow humans. In the Bible the expression “to walk” can mean “to follow a certain course of action.” With this in mind, we understand that one who walks with God follows a life course outlined by God and pleasing to him. Pursuing such a course makes us different from most of the people around us. Yet, it is the only proper choice for a Christian.

I believe that god didnt come down and walk on earth because god can not look in the face of sin we humanes are full of sin. But the holy spirit can walk with us. And the only person i think that walked with god was moses, But jesus did come down as man and walked with us. But that is a very good question.

I take it to mean following the word of god. Take the Latin root CUR which means to run. In words like concur it literally means to run with, but the definition is agreement. So if one applies that same idea to walking with god it could mean agreement.
maybe I'm over thinking this.

Adam walked with God personally all other walk with God when they keep all of His commandments and statutesEx 15:26 And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that healeth thee.

That means that God walked beside them, we were created in his image, and Adam apparently had many walks with God in the garden.

It means whatever you and your preacher wants it to mean. Usually it is associated with the preacher wanting you to walk up and put more of your money in his hands.

Ephesians 2:10 states (KJV)
10For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus unto good works, which God hath before ordained that we should walk in them.
This simply means doing good works, as what the Father and Jesus Christ are doing.

If you are talking about Enoch, I believe that He was so in tune with Gods will, that it was as if they were walking as one.
I should be so blessed.
