We get the clear picture that one Look At God would bring death. We see that example multiple times in the OT.
Yet I believe we also see multiple "Theophanies" of the pre preincarnate Christ.
What is your best defense for someone, who isn't sure why Jesus can be clearly seen by man, yet seeing the face of the Father kills anyone who looks at it.
Is the best argument here, that people could not look upon the heavenly/true physical form of God, at least upon His face? And because Jesus is God incarnated in another body, even through the Theophanies, they are not at the direct spiritual face of God?
I feel I'm not using the right terminology and would like to hear some viewpoints.
I'm curious as I don't recall seeing a thread on Theophanies to begin with and I'm curious as to the views shared here
