Genesis 32:30 – Can We Truly See God's Face? Unraveling Biblical Contradictions

Welcome to this episode of the Bible Difficulties and Answers podcast, where host Lance Smith delves into one of the most puzzling questions in scripture: Can we truly see God's face? What does it mean when the Bible states that Moses spoke to God face-to-face, yet also mentions that no one can see God and live?

In today's discussion, we examine these intriguing biblical accounts, focusing on the encounters of Moses and Jacob with the divine. We explore various explanations, from God's controlled revealing of Himself to the notion of early appearances of Jesus, known as Christophanies.

Join us as we navigate these apparent contradictions and uncover deeper truths about God's nature and His desire to connect with humanity. Gain insights into the theological implications of these encounters and the broader narrative of scripture that they contribute to.
