Interesting then, that the books of Moses record that God walked with Adam and Eve in the garden and that He spoke with Moses face to face like a friend (among other accounts of God taking on human form), not to mention the prophecies regarding the Messiah in books such as Isaiah and Zechariah.

Writings tell us no man has ever seen God face to face. Seems as tho we don't know when to take writings literally or figuratively.

God is Spirit, so of course one can't see Him - unless He takes human form, which scripture shows that He has.

Well, maybe you don't. ;)
