yes it does. i showed you in the definition that person, a man is in contrast to god.
why are you ignoring that it emphatically states a person is in contrast to god?
here is the link again. under definition 1 and subsection C for the word man used in numbers 23:19 and the hebrew word 'iysh
human being, person (in contrast to God)
strong's H120 which is usually translated as man can literally be translated as person
Num 5:6
Speak unto the children of Israel, When a man or woman shall commit any sin that men H120 commit, to do a trespass against the LORD, and that person be guilty;
Job 32:21
Let me not, I pray you, accept any man's person, neither let me give flattering titles unto man. H120
Pro 6:12
A naughty person, H120 a wicked man, walketh with a froward mouth.
Pro 28:17
A man H120 that doeth violence to the blood of any person shall flee to the pit; let no man stay him.
Eze 44:25
And they shall come at no dead person H120 to defile themselves: but for father, or for mother, or for son, or for daughter, for brother, or for sister that hath had no husband, they may defile themselves.
Jesus never says god is a person. that is you projecting your belief into what isn't there. self is not necessarily a person. it is a being but not a person. a spirit can have a sense of self and not be a person/human being. adam was the first person created by god.
all mankind is the son of god. why were you instructed to pray "Our Father"? or why did malachi say as such in malachi 2:10?
10 Have we not all one father? hath not one God created us? why do we deal treacherously every man against his brother, by profaning the covenant of our fathers?
or why again did jesus speak of "your" father?
Matthew 5:48
Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.
i'm not a believer.
actually you're the believer creating what the bible calls god in the image of a person. you practice a form of idolatry called anthropolatry.
numbers 23:19 can also be translated as god is not a person.
or can be translated this way from the hebrew tanakh
לֹ֣א אִ֥ישׁ אֵל֙ וִֽיכַזֵּ֔ב וּבֶן־אָדָ֖ם וְיִתְנֶחָ֑ם הַה֤וּא אָמַר֙ וְלֹ֣א יַעֲשֶׂ֔ה וְדִבֶּ֖ר וְלֹ֥א יְקִימֶֽנָּה׃
God is not man to be capricious, Or mortal to change His mind. Would He speak and not act, Promise and not fulfill?
or another form of transliteration
יטלֹ֣א אִ֥ישׁ אֵל֙ וִֽיכַזֵּ֔ב וּבֶן־אָדָ֖ם וְיִתְנֶחָ֑ם הַה֤וּא אָמַר֙ וְלֹ֣א יַֽעֲשֶׂ֔ה וְדִבֶּ֖ר וְלֹ֥א יְקִימֶֽנָּה:
God is not a man that He should lie, nor is He a mortal that He should relent. Would He say and not do, speak and not fulfill?
self doesn't necessarily mean a person even though its referencing a being in john 17:5. adam was the first person. before adam, before the world was created there was still being but no persons.
(Num.23:19)---man---Strongs identification, #376
(Num 5:6)---person---Strongs id, #5315
(Job 32:21)---person---Strongs id, #6440
(Pro. 6:12)---person---Strongs id, #120
(Pro. 28:17)---person---Strongs id, #5315
(Eze. 44:25)---person---Strongs id, #120
Well, yes, self does speak to personality. A person.
I say 'Our Father' because God is my Father. As He is to all those who are his. Malachi was speaking to the believing. Just as the believing have one Father, so also those who are not his children, God hates. (Malachi 1:2)
(Matt. 5:48) offers nothing to you in whatever you are trying to say.
You're not a believer? Surprise, surprise. Yet you are the supposed expert on the believers book, the Bible.
God created both the creation, and Adam. God is separate from His creation.
Believe what you want. Quit trying to conform the Bible to your beliefs.
