Beholding God
Moses 1:11; “But now mine own eyes have beheld God; but not my natural, but my spiritual eyes, for my natural eyes could not have beheld; for I should have withered and died in his presence; but his glory was upon me; and I beheld his face, for I was transfigured before him.”
Joseph Smith Testimony 1:17; ” It no sooner appeared than I found myself delivered from the enemy which held me bound. When the light rested upon me I saw two Personages, whose brightness and glory defy all description, standing above me in the air. One of them spake unto me, calling me by name and said, pointing to the other—This is My Beloved Son. Hear Him!”
Ask the next Mormon you see if Joseph beheld God with his natural or spiritual eyes.
If it was his natural eyes then how did he survive?
If it was with his spiritual eyes then why doesn’t his testimony reflect this?
