John 1:18 John 6:46 1 John 4:12 Deuteronomy 4:12 Colossians 1:15 These verses present us with a conundrum. Many old covenant verses say the people have seen God and spoke to HIM. Jesus said plainly that NO ONE HAS EVER SEEN GOD. Jesus, in another verse says that HIS voice was never heard or form seen. John 5:7 The old covenant seems to disagree with verses like ; Genesis 32:30 , Genesis 16:13 , Exodus 24:10 . Did Jesus lie . Did the ancient people lie ? Are these bad translations ? Is there something else that we have not considered ? In cases like this it is usually the latter possibility that is true because a direct contradiction would exist in scripture which Jesus claims cannot be broken. John 10:35 , and even this verse produces issues that cause a conundrum. Obviously there is an answer to these and all other scriptures that seem to contradict but those answers must come by Yahweh not us.

God does not lie.
"Jehovah spoke with Moses face-to-face, as one man would speak to another man."
John spoke figuratively quite frequently as a teaching method. "God is light." "God is love." "Jesus is the Word." Etc.
When John wrote about "no man seeing God at any time" in context it's clear he was speaking figuratively about not being able to see God's full heavenly glory and survive the experience.
Jehovah is coming back to heal the family, and He does not make divisions, unlike some humans who follow in the footsteps of their father the Devil. Satan desires to separate members of Jehovah's family and make them feel as if they are not good enough for God's love.
Jesus will remove all the weeds from his kingdom. Anyone who wants to choke their fellow family members or block out the love of God from shining on the lowly ones...Jesus will make it clear what the expression "God is love" really means.
"Our Father in the heavens, let your name be sanctified."

All things are possible with God. This is something those without faith do not comprehend. Jehovah hides the truth from the haughty ones, but reveals it to those with hearts like children.
