Mrdob, how have i been condescending? Because I'm giving direct responses to objections?
Mimio, v:24 of the same Genesis chapter: "So Jacob was left alone, and a man wrestled with him till daybreak."
It was a manifestation of God - Just as Christ is. Jacob saw God in a Theophany. This is why you don't read the Bible at face value and draw conclusions - that's how cults get started. No one has ever seen God because in his true nature He is spirit and cannot be seen. He appeared to the patriarchs in manifestations. So, in once sense He has been seen thru these physical manifestations, but in another very real sense, He cannot be seen and has never been seen because his core nature is spirit.
