1 | Did Moses seen God face to face? | Ex 33:20 | Morant61 | 26868 | ||
Greetings Johnny! "Face to Face" is a figure of speech which indicates an intimate relationship. Num. 12:8 defines what the phrase "face to face" means: " With him I speak face to face, clearly and not in riddles; he sees the form of the LORD. Why then were you not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?”" However, it doesn't contradict John 1:18. No one, other than Christ, has ever seen God in all of His glory. Individuals, like Moses, have seen partial manifestations of God. But, none has ever seen God's as He really is. None could! Ex. 33:20 says, "But,” he said, ‘‘you cannot see my face, for no one may see me and live.”" Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

2 | Did Moses seen God face to face? | Ex 33:20 | jlpangilinan | 26884 | ||
Tim, Moses, as a representative of law, a man of God, a prophet I sure knew what he wrote. He is authorized of his books. He wrote it face to face because he seen it face to face: Ge 32:30 And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved. It that verse it is very clear my friend, Jacob seen God face to face. Moses is a man of God he knew what he is doing. In the new testament, they wrote that Jesus is the image of the invisible father, because they saw Jesus Christ. So moses wrote that Jacob seen God face to face because he seen it face to face.

Greetings Johnny! I agree that Moses knew what he was writting! He also wrote in Ex. 33:20 that no man can see God's face and live. So, which statement is right! We either have two choices! 1) Moses contradicted himself (which I don't believe)! or 2) We have misunderstood one of the statements! The best option seems to be that "face to face" is a common saying that describes intimacy and doesn't necessarily describe a literal face to face encounter. This especially makes sense in light of the Numbers passage which defines what face to face means - clearly, without riddles. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

4 | Did Moses seen God face to face? | Ex 33:20 | jlpangilinan | 26960 | ||
Joh 1:18 No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him. Ok Tim, I would like to weigh here is the statement of John that "No man has seen God at any time" Did John emphasize any part of God? Did John mentioned face only or back or right jew of left hand? He said "No man hath seen God at any time;" I dont care it is back or feet but the God Himself. As a believer, of course I understand all those things, that bible will never contradict itself. But I need of course a solid explaination when somebody will ask the same question to me. God bless, Johnny |
