Thanks for the Link.....

I know what G-d said..in reading your link, I see it is not much different in what is written in Genesis 18, however it does not say.What form the LORD had taken, unless I have *Missed* something in the verse...

I don’t see the *Physical Description* of G-d in front of Abraham.

Only the Angels that had the appearance of *Men* which makes sense, because when they left Abraham they went to *Sodom* and they were in the form of human males....

I guess if I could ask this question: Do you yourself believe G-d can take on the appearance of a *human Being*? and if you say no..then I would ask why not? and is there scripture validating that claim...

I would like to read on it....

If one accepts that God is infinite, that idea has consequences, and our words and thoughts can reach their limits of understanding.

An infinite God can communicate with us in a way that we can understand. We can know God’s communication, but not God’s essence. God’s communication can be in the form of a man, as in the case of Abraham in Genesis 18, but it is not God’s essence.

And God prohibits us from worshiping His communications.

Numbers 23
19 God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?
