Jehovah witnesses can God assume the body of a man, does God have hands and feet?

Accoridnig to the NWT

God has fingers:

Exodus 31: 18

Now as soon as he had finished speaking with him on Mount Si´nai he proceeded to give Moses two tablets of the Testimony, tablets of stone written on by God’s finger.

God has palms:

And it has to occur that while my glory is passing by I must place you in a hole in the rock, and I must put my palm over you as a screen until I have passed by. 23 After that I must take my palm away, and you will indeed see my back. But my face may not be seen

God has feet, which Abraham offered to wash:

Genesis 18: 1

"Afterward Jehovah appeared to him among the big trees of Mam´re, while he was sitting at the entrance of the tent about the heat of the day"

This clearly says that God appeared to him, therefore it is God who appeared to him….

18:2

"When he raised his eyes, then he looked and there three men were standing some distance from him. When he caught sight of them he began running to meet them from the entrance of the tent and proceeded to bow down to the earth"

If these are men are merely angels, then why does Abraham bow down infornt of them

isn’t this angel worship?

18:3-5

Then he said: “Jehovah, if, now, I have found favor in your eyes, please do not pass by your servant. 4 Let a little water be taken, please, and YOU must have YOUR feet washed. Then recline under the tree. 5 And let me get a piece of bread, and refresh YOUR hearts. Following that, YOU can pass on, because that is why YOU have passed this way to YOUR servant.” At this they said: “All right. You may do just as you have spoken

He offers to wash Jehovah’s feet, and to give him food

if he is not offering to do this to Jehovah, then he is blaspheming and calling mere angels Jehovah, why is he not rebuked for this?

i see we dont have a problem with Jehovah turnnig himself into a man or 3 of them as it may seem to speak to Abraham

however we get an extreme reactino on the possibility of God turning himself into a man called Jesus

which is more impossible

God turning himself into a man to speak to Abraham
or God turnnig himself into a man whose name is Yeshua:

God the saviour, or as you prefer

Jesus= I cause salvation to become

If king David calls God the saviour
and Jeuss= I causle salvation to beocme
then Jesus is…

1. ok lets try to focus on Abraham why does he call those men Jehovah, this is blasphemy

2. God told moses he has fingers and palms

3.Abraham offers to wash God’s feet, and feed him, he calls angels Jehovah and is not rebuked

why??????

Answers to those 3 questions please
Chuck:

You have left the watchtower, but you have not left their beleifs…..

why was it so important of them to convince you that Jesus was not god?

now that you are no longer a JW, why are you still convinced?

Did Jesus not say he who has seen me has seen the Father?
Trustdel:

can youy feed god?

Why does Abraham offer to feed JEHOVAH?

O JEHOVAH…..LET me wash your feet

he ios offering to wash God’s feet

GOd maniofested himself as a man to Abraham

so why can he not do it to Jesus

seeing jesus=yeshia=GOd the saviour

it’s even more obvious now isn’t it
trustedel

Angel Gabriel forbids John bowing down before him, in fact he rebukes him for doing so

what does that tell you?
No man may see his face and live,

but that did not stop moses, Abraham and etc seeing the rest of him

such as his hands and feet,

f God manifested himself in a body as he did befroe moses and abraham then why is not possible for him to manifest himself as Jesus?

Cheers, i knew you would understand
