Rosh Hashana, Yom Kippur & Sukkot - a physical & spiritual runaround

[MFPhoto1]

I am not putting G-D in a box. You are. He is unlimited because he is Incorporeal. The one thing He cannot do is to stop being G-D. Therefore He is beyond our physical limitations. And nowhere, at least in the original Hebrew text, does Tenach say G-D took any physical appearance to visit Abraham. Note that Christian translations changed the wording.

@MFPhoto1 I doubt you are correct in anything that you say and welcome your source for the claim that the Lord does not appear in corporeal form in Genesis. I'd argue completely the opposite, whether it was in the body of a fruit, a grain, an animal, a human, or fire. It's all these things, and, as for appearing as a man, well, yes, that happened too because any stranger was perceived either as a deity, an angel or Satan (aka an adversary). All three were human.

And where does it say that G-D did appear in corporeal form? Nowhere! That is if you are going by the original Hebrew text. I do know some things were changed in Christian translations. Anything physical must conform to the physical laws of the universe, thus anything physical must be limited. G-D is not limited. I suggest you read the Rambam's Guide for the Perplexed. He knew more about the subject than either one of us.

Actually, isn’t it on Rosh Hashanah that we see G-D as the judge? On Yom Kippur, He comes down to us, metaphorically speaking, as HaShem - a G-D of mercy.

Hashem did come to us, we did not recognize Him, He came as Yeshua our Messiah!

@Menechem Anything in physical form must conform to the physical laws of the universe. Therefore, G-D cannot be physical. A physical being is beyond the need to eat or sleep, and is not effected by physical limitations. Your idea of G-D in a physical body is equal to idolotry.

@MFPhoto1 Who are you to put God into a box. When you say that Ribom shel olam can, or cannot do something is idolatry, you're making Him into a god after your own fashioning. The Tanach even shows God coming to earth and visiting Abraham!
