Jesus is God -Joshua 5 - who was this man?

[Wootah]

Hi all,

Here is a good talk on Joshua 5:

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?s ... ersion=NIV

13 Now when Joshua was near Jericho, he looked up and saw a man standing in front of him with a drawn sword in his hand. Joshua went up to him and asked, “Are you for us or for our enemies?”

14 “Neither,” he replied, “but as commander of the army of the Lord I have now come.” Then Joshua fell facedown to the ground in reverence, and asked him, “What message does my Lord[e] have for his servant?”

15 The commander of the Lord’s army replied, “Take off your sandals, for the place where you are standing is holy.” And Joshua did so.

Would Joshua bow down to not God? Don't angels say hey stop worshipping me if they are not God? Why was Joshua commanded to take off his sandals (think back to Moses)?

[1213]

So how is Jesus different to you?

I would say Jesus is more accurate image of God, and much greater than I am.

If I see you, made in the image of God, have I seen the Father?

If I am an image of God, then I think you have seen the Father, if you have seen me. Or do you disagree with this?

I have seen many people but not seen the Father in them.

[1213]

I have seen many people but not seen the Father in them.

Do you think you know God?

I trust that in Jesus I know the Father.
