If man cannot see God because they will die, how can we see Jesus? Does his human nature “negate” that?

What do you mean? You see God everywhere and you most see Him in the Eucharist as the Body and Blood of Jesus.
If God is love, and Jesus’ sacrifice was the most pefect love, then the Eucharist IS God.
I hope you’re not looking for more…
you can’t really SEE love.
on a lighter note,
I don’t think if God intended to save us and to renew his covenant that he would kill anyone who laid eyes on Jesus.
Kinda… counter-productive, wouldn’t you say?

I always assumed they weren’t blind.

What I mean is, and perhaps I’m remembering something that never happened, isn’t some OT prophet warned that to look upon the Face of God to die?

In Exodus 33:18 Moses asked God to reveal His glory. God replied in Exodus 33:20 that you cannot see my face; man shall not see me and live. Moses was speaking to God the Father, who has no face or body, so during this dialogue God does not speak of an actual face. Here the word face is a figure of speech meaning to see Him directly, just as we will see Him in heaven. But we cannot see God’s essence without dying. This actully is what this expression means then.

His human nature and his human person aren’t the same thing. He was 100% human so you could see, feel, and touch him just like any other person.
Thankfully that is so or Mary was in a whole lot of trouble.
Peace and God Bless

Hiya Nicene,
I’m sure that it was inadvertant, but what you said might be taken to imply that Christ not only had a human nature but also was a human person. There was no human person. . . Christ is a Divine Person with two natures: human and Divine.
Like I said, I’m sure it was inadvertant, and I hope you don’t mind me pointing it out. I hope that you will keep me “on the straight and narrow” too if you see me state something that might be taken the wrong way!
Anyway, nice to “type” to you. I think this is the first time, so “welcome” to the forums!
God Bless,
VC

Good catch. I suppose I should have said human body.Hiya Nicene,

God in His divine nature is, of course, not visible, because He is pure spirit. But the second Person of the trinity also assumed a human nature. So, as a man, Jesus was perfectly visible. As God, no one can see his divine nature.
