Quote:Encyclopdia Britannica Article(from Greek theophaneia, appearance of God), manifestation of deity in sensible form. The term has been applied generally to the appearance of the gods in the ancient Greek and Near Eastern religions. The appearance of Zeus to Semele in his full godhead, "all his glory"

Quote:6. Gen. 18 Abraham experiences a theophany: God reveals Himself to Abraham. In this event Abraham sees three men. "And he lift up his eyes and looked, and, lo,......". Abraham lifted up his eyes, he looked and 'lo': that is Abraham looked or watched three times. The looking of Abraham is described very extensive and what did he see? Three men. Why would God reveal Himself by the representation of three men? This must have a special meaning. Do you know why?

Quote:God is not a math equation or physics problem.
Quote: So I don't get your rationale.Why isn't God's shekinah glory filling your room right now since God is infinite?
Quote:I think He can, if He limits Himself.....for example in assuming the role of a man who physically collapses under the weight of a cross. That one was easy. You got any hard ones.... ?
