when God stated in the Bible that He would speak with Moses "face to face" what do "u" think ths meant?

Question

this happened in the book of Numbers 12:6

Answer 1

The Israelites saw his feet, Moses saw his back, Stephan saw at least his right hand. Adam was made in the image of God. Jesus is the Son of God.

I think there are plenty of scriptural references to conclude that God has a body

Answer 2

Misquote.
Numbers 12:5-8
5 And the LORD came down in the pillar of the cloud, and stood in the door of the tabernacle, and called Aaron and Miriam: and they both came forth.
6 And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among you, I the LORD will make myself known unto him in a vision, and will speak unto him in a dream.
7 My servant Moses is not so, who is faithful in all mine house.
8 With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the LORD shall he behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?

When you find the right verse it will mean exactly as it states:
Moses will be face-to-face with God.

Answer 3

Nubers 12:6 And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among you, I the LORD will make myself known unto him in a vision, and will speak unto him in a dream.

Moses hid his face, because he was afraid to look at God.

When he did face God, he got like a sun burn. He was not aware that his face had become radiant because he had spoken with the Lord, and.when Aaron and all the Israelites saw Moses, his face was radiant, and they were afraid to come near him.

Answer 4

Some believe that Moses saw God -- the Bible shows this to be false.

The Bible actually demonstrates clearly that Moses talked to an angel representing God.

The scriptural proof is found here:

Answer 5

It meant a close, personal relationship.

There's no indication that God ever revealed his actual "face" to Moses, although God's immediate presence did actually transform Moses' own face and features.

Answer 6

Face to face was an old hebrew idiom that meant "plainly", as in, without deception. The follow-up "as a man speaketh to his friend" emphasizes the lack of deception, because your friends are your allies and you honor them.

When talking literally "face to face", the person you are speaking with can see your eyes and detect if you are lying. If you aren't looking at each other's faces, you can get away with deception. This line shows that God doesn't lie and isn't ambiguous in what He says.

Answer 7

Just as it sounds. Moses saw God, more specifically His face and they talked as we do facing each other.

Answer 8

To see God.
Genesis 12:7
And the LORD appeared unto Abram, and said, Unto thy seed will I give this land: and there builded he an altar unto the LORD, who appeared unto him.
Numbers 14:14
And they will tell the inhabitants of this land. They have heard that you, O Lord, are in the midst of this people. For you, O Lord, are seen face to face.....
Deuteronomy 5:4
The Lord spoke with you face to face at the mountain, out of the midst of the fire,
Deuteronomy 34:10
And there has not arisen a prophet since in Israel like Moses, whom the Lord knew face to face,
Exodus 33:11
Thus the Lord used to speak to Moses face to face, as a man speaks to his friend....
Genesis 32:30
So Jacob called the name of the place Peniel, (Peniel acctualy means "FACE OF GOD") saying, “For I have seen God face to face, and yet my life has been delivered.”
Ezkial 1:26,28
26 And above the expanse over their heads there was the likeness of a throne, in appearance like sapphire; and seated above the likeness of a throne was a likeness with a human appearance.
28 Like the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud on the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness all around.Such was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord. And when I saw it, I fell on my face, and I heard the voice of one speaking.
*Ezekial saw God and fell when he saw the energy around this human, like being. What more he talks to this human being essence, that he calls God, through out the entire book of Ezkial. There is no trinty here, there is just a being, a being that is no more then one person. So God has been seen, correct?

******************
Now the reverse.
*******
Exodus 33:20
But,” he said, “you cannot see my face, for man shall not see me and live.”(that's god speaking)
22 And while my glory passes by I will put you in a cleft of the rock, and I will cover you with my hand until I have passed by. 23 Then I will take away my hand, and you shall see my back, but my face shall not be seen.”
If moses had already seen God face to face why is God suddenly afraid to expose himself? Its implies right in the same chapter of exodus that moses saw God face to face. Now he talks to him many times again but this time not face to face? He lived when he saw him before, so why was is the writer changing things around? Jacob did'nt die after claming he had seen the face of God. Neither did Ezkeial?
1 John 4:12
No one has ever seen God; if we love one another, God abides in us and his love is perfected in us.

Answer 9

I think God was contradicting himself because he also told Moses his face he would never see, but only his backsides.
