The Hebrew word for face is paniym, literally faces (plural).

When we think about God, we tend to focus only upon one of His faces at a time. God is love or He is holy. All these faces are His at once; and so the word paniym accurately reflects the truth of God's multifaceted being. As we get to know Him better we begin to appreciate the complexity of His nature and the fact that our focus on one face is a very limited view, since there's so much more going on in His amazing Being.
Are our broadest hopes broad enough? Shall there be a nook or abyss, in all the universe of God, finally unlightened by the Cross? Shall there be a sin, or sorrow, or pain unhealed? Is the very universe, is creation in all its extent, a field wide enough for the Son of God?

I like to say that He is multi-layered and multi-dimensional.
Socrates taught Plato.  Plato taught Aristotle.  Aristotle tutored the son of Philip of Macedon.  This boy grew up to become Alexander the Great, largely by slaughtering a lot of people.  That's philosophy.

Jesus spoke the Truth.  He blessed the poor.  He healed the sick.  He even raised the dead.  He died on a cross for us, lived again, and came back long enough to tell us to love one another.  That's religion.

YHVH = Behold the Nail, Behold the Hand = Jesus

My friend Laz: it always is a delight seeing you again. I trust you are continuing to present our multi-layered/dimensional Lord on C.F. For some unknown reason I am not allowed to post on the site. Please give my greetings to Saint Steve & Shrewd Manager and those who proclaim our triumphant Lord of reconciliation.

Yes, I am often on that site, and I have noticed a few more who see as we do.  You should contact a mod there and ask for an explanation.
