NO ONE SEES GOD'S FACE AND LIVES ........ right? Dear Jesus, once a gentleman posted a comment here saying I had not traveled to Heaven because You say no one can see Your face and live. I chose to not parley because I hadn’t seen Your face anyway. But then, when I traveled there a second time, I did!
You've explained the seeming dichotomy (contradiction) between the passages that say no one has seen God with examples from Scripture of those who had--more clearly than I've ever heard before. Thank you so much for searching this out. I feel better now!
Well said! The truth be told. "Until then, Scripture holds both truths together—You are too holy to be seen fully, yet loving enough to make Yourself known. And those of us who have caught a glimpse also have yet to see Your full glory." Thank you, Jesus for loving us so much.
Yes, truly it is in our best interest that things are organized in such a way. And honestly, this is what happens with LOVE too. Our physical bodies here cannot handle the glory of the fullness of love. Our earthly forms are insufficient and would not be able to tolerate it. We will only be able to experience it completely in Heaven.
No, not a restack. Just a reply. And it goes to your activity line and mine too-where our followers and subscribers may see it. A restack is the circular option under posts and notes.
I love how you search the Scriptures for answers to questions--even questions posed by others. Thank you for sharing your experiences and Scriptures as well! It's definitely an interesting discussion and I have heard of others seeing God's face, so I think it's possible.
Yes indeed! And of course, scripture is alpha dog! Well, the Lord is but you know what I mean. We are to compare all that we learn, see, feel with it for a reason. :-) I appreciate you reading and commenting, Marci. And of course, always appreciate your support. <3
Very interesting concept that your teacher highlighted. I would wonder if he or she had a personal spiritual experience because that also is true of Heaven. Our physical eyes cannot handle it. Thus, I returned to earth with an eye strain headache that took several days to finally diagnose/remedy. So although I was lying in an ambulance at the time, somehow my physical body was still affected by the light of Heaven. Oh, what beauty God has displayed there, all for us in His incredible love! Amazing! Sorry for the delay in responding- my notifications have been wonky.

That’s great, Dawn! I am so glad that it was helpful to you. He DOES want to be seen by us. He reduces “his impact” so this can happen. :-)

Yes! Thank you, Jesus!! Thank you for reading and commenting, Dorothy.
Okay, I figured out what to click to respond to you. This is called restack? Are you the only person who can see my restack response?
