Best Answer

The form in which God revealed himself varies from author to author in the scriptures. Scholars call the principal early sources, who spoke of God revealing himself, the Elohist and the Yahwist.

People could never look at the Elohist's God, so he typically came in dreams or visions, but sometimes in the form of a cloud or a flame.

The Yahwist (J Source) wrote of an anthropomorphic God with human characteristics. In his writings, God could walk "in the cool of the evening" and talk face to face with his creation.

Other authors generally wrote of God revealing himself in dreams and visions.

What is the difference between Islam and Hinduism?

Many. But the most obvious difference is 'exclusivity'.In Hinduism, people believe in one supreme god - Brahman (as the universal spirit) and different manifestations of Brahman. Hinduism has a range of Gods and Goddesses.In Islam, people believe in and worship God as the one and only one God (same God in Christianity and Judaism). Called Allah in Arabic (even in Arabic Bible version God is written as Allah). You have to worship Allah in Islam. In Hinduism, the judgment is secular. Hindus and non-Hindus, all are judged irrespective of their belief.In Islam, the judgment; after death; is based on your belief and worship of one and only one God and on your good deeds.Hinduism is an Indian or Dharmic Religion.Islam is God religion (usually called Abrahamic Religion to which Christianity and Judaism are also belonging).Hindus pray in temples / Mandirs.Muslims pray in mosques.In Hinduism, there are many manifestation of god and is also personified.In islam (as well as Christianity and Judaism) there are no pictures of God (or Allah), It is sinful to picture Allah (or God in English) in any form or shape.

How can God's revelation of Himself through His Word be harmonized with scientific discoveries?

There are several available explanations, depending on your beliefs: # The Bible was only written by men, who did not fully understand the word of God. The Bible should not be read literally. # God really did reveal himself through the Bible, but science is wrong. This is the position of some creationists. # God really did reveal himself through the Bible, but we do not understand the Bible, or the original text of the Bible has changed so much that it no longer says what it should say. # God is not infallible, and when he tried to reveal himself, there were some mistakes made. # There is no God.
