Encore: Can People See God and Live?

•

In this episode, we explore biblical accounts of individuals who saw God, including Moses, Isaiah, and Stephen, despite scriptures suggesting that no one can see God and live. We discuss how these seemingly contradictory passages point to the idea that God reveals himself to whomever he chooses, often requiring a spiritual transformation to endure his presence.
