I don't think you can get a good picture of God from the book of Revelation because of the symbolic imagery.

So, I think its just best to think of seeing Jesus.

So, you are saying that it was impossible for God to fit himself into a human body?

There's scripture against his claim. I don't read anything in scripture which supports his claim.

"""For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily."""

"""In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth."""

"""And without controversy great is the mystery of godliness: God was manifest in the flesh, justified in the Spirit, seen of angels, preached unto the Gentiles, believed on in the world, received up into glory."""

An opinion... I guess.. Don't have time to look up scripture. Based on Jesus prayer in the garden.. I will have to go more into detail later when I have more time.

Re: How About some "new to me" God Head talk.

If I am being elementary to some of you I apologize, it comes from being raised UPC. But if you believe that ALL the fullness of the Godhead dwells in Jesus Christ the man. Part of the Godhead is the Holy Ghost, if ALL this was dwelling in the man and he was received up into glory how are we filled with the Holy Ghost. Maybe I am not explaining my definition of ALL very well. Who was Jesus praying to in the garden? He was not calling himself Father.
