What are the distinctive characteristics, or marks, of personality? Knowledge, feelings or emotion, and will. Any entity that thinks and feels and wills is a person. Each member of the Godhead does these things.

Those verse tell us that all these 74 men could see was the sign of the son-of-man in the heavens, the Planet Uranus which SYMBOLIZED the God never known before to all the world which had long worshipped the sun, the moon, and the stars:
I think you are wrong.
1) Personality is a dominance of certain Jungian Functions (or what Freud called archetypes).
These combine in rather set ways, and are the sources for our personalities.
According to modern psychology, like that used by eHarmony to match people, there are a dozen or so types that can identify the personality of people.
2) These personalities are are NOT the people themselves, but the source of the thinking behind the way they behave.

Thank you for sharing your scripture verses. Even though I can recognize the events from your verses that match what is written in the Christian text, yet I see that they read quite differently.
For Moses was allowed to SEE all of God's goodness and glory ... and though he was not allowed to see the face of God as He approached ... He was allowed to SEE the hind parts as God's glorious presence retreated. This miracle happened just before Moses went up into the mount to receive the commandments from God.
It is a shame that our two texts are so different. They can't both be correct.
Well, that being said about God's visible presence... I do believe that God can communicate with human beings - spirit to spirit. In fact, most all Christians believe this to be true as well.

Interesting, but I'm not buying it. When you know that I'm wrong, let me know.
That's the Truth.
When yoiu find out the Truth, then you'll know whether you were right or wrong.
Nit before.
Truth is the lord that reigns over these things, not I.
No, "synonymous with the concept" ain't there, and you should not add it there.
No, "even though I have been saying, "I am the Truth" ain't there, and you should not add it there.
Quit adding to the text what is not there.
Poppycock.Those verse tell us that all these 74 men could see was the sign of the son-of-man in the heavens, the Planet Uranus which SYMBOLIZED the God never known before to all the world which had long worshipped the sun, the moon, and the stars:
No, three persons who communicated with each other.
"Concepts" don't talk.
Right you are.

You take words that a child can understand and change them so that no one can understand. What a hatchet job on the scriptures. You're the hatchet man.
Where did the statue come from?
"Mind's eye". :doh:
People can vision a purple flying elephant in their mind.
People can vision a universe with no God at all.
Don't be relying on some new age "mind's eye".
His mind's eye. :rotfl:
Oh my! Lions and tigers and bears. :darwinsm:

It seems abundantly clear that the church people have turned the simple idea into a gobble de gook so confusing and metaphysical that no one can understand their reasoning.
When Jeus said, "I am the Truth, the way, and the life" it was followed by verse that make sense in that context.
But the church people perfer to use medieval jargon veiled in some doctrines of interpretations private to their denominational churches that muddy up every phrase and verse.
Do you deny that Christ is Truth and the devils are liars?
Of course, and most people do exactly that.
They live lives based upon false conceptions about the real world, seeking pleasure and fun, or life styles of the rich.
America right now is facing the Reality of the economy coming face to face with the Truth, that the nation has been living beyond its means.
Truth is the savior here, if men can model the truth in their mind's eye and face the facts of life, bite the bullet, and make the hard decisions.
Things that are what Jesus was talking about.
He said that the leaders coukd forecast the weather, but coukd not envision in their mind the times and the things that were coming to tear down the temple and disperse them all into Europe for 2000 years.
Things we see are registered in our mind and used along with other information coming from the other senses in a process of thinking about such Data.
We form what we believe is the Truth about what is corresponds to external to our mind, and we behave and respond accirdingly, because we have faith in Truth.
There is nothing "added."
Parenthesis is the grammatically correct way to interject an explanation or comment iinto the context of a passage.
The reason for brackets is to explicitly show the readers that these comments are separate from the text, and are comments made by the oerson about what the text says.
