I am trying to work a few things out from Scripture.
(Exodus 33:20) – “But He [God] said, "You cannot see My face, for no man can see Me and live !"
But yet it says in the OT that the Lord appeared to Abraham. From my understand while clearly all 3 persons of the Godhead are God, the word God in Scripture refers to "the Father". So does this mean that Abraham saw the pre-incarnate Son?
Now the question is how could people during incarnation see Jesus if He was God or was this not the same because of His human form?
I know the Father does not have a human form but does have a form of glory.
(1 Tim. 6:15-16) – “He who is the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords, 16who alone possesses immortality and dwells in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen or can see. To Him be honor and eternal dominion! Amen.”
Is this prohibition for the living or does this apply to Heaven as well?
