<Kaleb said>: I am Jewish.
FragrantAddendum:
we know this messenger is jesus because he looks so much like his father....<Kaleb said>: I am sorry, but what type of Fresh-out-of-the-Watchtower-culty reasoning is this?
We know because "he looks so much like his father"?
What?
Since when do we know what God looks like?
a faithful jewish man wrote the words of ezekiel chapter 1 verses 26-28
perhaps you are familiar with how they read in hebrew
here is one translation of those words into english...
Since when do we know what God looks like?
I guess John 1:18 can be thrown out.
john's words are true
he was speaking figuratively, as he often did about beautiful concepts
"god is love"
"jesus, the light of the world"
and so on
no man has seen god's full heavenly glory at any time
jesus had seen god's heavenly glory before being human
so he could explain
but that many humans have seen jehovah in a materialized body
is detailed throughout the bible
moses talked with god face-to-face
moses, while talking to god face-to-face asked to see god's full heavenly glory
but god said it wouldn't work, it'd be too much for a human to handle
that's why god always materialized a body when visiting adam and eve in the garden
also it's why god materialized a body to visit abram that time
"all things are possible with god"
you do remember what his name means, right?
