God Cannot be Seen is Mistranslated – Mormon Quotes

Answers to Gospel Questions 2:161; Question: “How, as the Church claims, could Joseph Smith see God when the Bible clearly states in St. John 1:18, ‘No man hath seen God at any time,’ and in Exodus 33:20, ‘Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live?”…Answer: You quote from Exodus 33:20, “And he said, thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live.” Yet in the same chapter, Verse 11, it reads thus: “And the Lord spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend.”…It is to be hoped that you are aware that the Bible has come down to us through many translations and that it has been copied many times; moreover that there is no original manuscript of any of the books of the Bible. The scribes in the beginning and through the years had to write every word by hand. Moreover, the original manuscripts were not written as we write today with separate words but in uncials, that is to say, the words ran together in this fashion so that it became very difficult to discover the correct meaning, and errors crept in.

Exodus 34:10And there arose not a prophet since in Israel like unto Moses, whom the LORD knew face to face.”  (See other phrases for “face” such as presence, glory and countenance which all have the same transliterations.)

That’s right, blame the messenger because of your unwillingness to bend the knee.
