The OT is anthropomorphism based on revelations, interpreted and expressed in human terms and human capacities. The Gospels are eyewitness accounts. Apples and oranges. One is an approximation; the other is factual reporting.By your own standards you cannot possibly know this. You are merely assuming whatever you want to assume. Do you have anything to back this up? How do you know that Moses and Joshua and David and the rest of them were not reporting what they saw, but you believe that the Gospels were "factual" reporting? You can't prove that.

How do you know that Moses and Joshua and David and the rest of them were not reporting what they saw, but you believe that the Gospels were "factual" reporting? You can't prove that What they "saw" and "heard" was not a physical, inarnate God, FK. Now, you can believe whatever you want, but Christians believe no one has seen God in person except in Christ. The beauty of the Gospels as a witness is that more than one person saw and heard Him.
This is not the case with the OT, where God is revealed to specific individuals in a mysterious way through visions, dreams even hallucinations.
