@Mac, how do you know that I have never met God? I’ve met him most of all by reading the Bible cover to cover many times during my almost-83 years. I met him at a railroad crossing where he rescued me by inches from death. I’ve met him in nine other events that pointed me to attend seminary to become a pastor with a wife, three children, and no job. I’ve met him in prayer that cured my seven years of major depression. I’ve also met him in the middle of four kinds of physical pain. (See the book What God Has Done: My True, Dramatic God-Biography [Amazon].)
I meet him every day in every way in my book ministry and on three forums.
Were those literal face-to-face meetings? No. God says to Moses, "You cannot see my face, for man shall not see me and live” (Exodus 33:20).
If you claim to have seen God face-to-face, either he wasn’t God and was a false god, or you misinterpreted that experience, according to God’s own words.
