No man has seen God and lived. Is there a different interpretation?

Question

http://scriptures.lds.org/en/john/14/21#21 see verse 23 also.
moses saw god face to face and shrank because he thought he would die. the israelites said the same thing but the nobles of israel clearly saw God, even his glory. But what if a man was once worthy like king saul, or was it solomon? who saw God twice. and yet afterward backslid and he no longer was able to live for God or live life to the fullest in the flesh. Truly a man who sees God has very little desire to sin, but sin is death, and death doesnt mean instantly?
Can it be that this other verse is also traditionally misunderstood?

Another possible interpretation is that Jesus often accused the city of jerusalem and its ancestors who killed the prophets who were sent by God. Apparanlty, if all the prophets were murdered by evil men, than it would be true if ANY of them saw God They didnt live long. They were probably stoned for their testimony.

http://scriptures.lds.org/en/dc/130/3#3 is this statement true?

Answer 1

I have never seen God but I felt God the Father I feel Jesus and I know when the Holy Spirit tells me to do something I had better stop what i am doing and listen.Because all He wants to do is for my good and others good.I used to be one of them egotistic bible thumpers.But when I stood before God the Father He straightened me out Quick .I just shook.Jesus is a bridge to God the Father.God is so Holy we cant even comprehend how Holy He really is.

Answer 2

It is not that one can see God and has not seen Him due to any reason but the fact human beings do not have the capablity to see God.Moses only saw one attribute of God and could not withstand it.It is only the hereinafter that in that spiritual emboyment human beings shall be able to witness something about the attributes of God.We shall never be able to have a complete vision as He is limitless and beyond our comprehension.We cannot the lazer beams even.

Answer 3

Since Mormons do not believe that Jesus was the Son of God, your interpretation is approrpiate and no one should be arguing with you over other interpretations. After all, one is referring to Mormon biblical texts.

Answer 4

Holy scripture quite emphatically teaches that no man can or may see God and live.
Moses saw God's glory, not God! see verse 20 & 38

Even Ex 33:18-20 shows this, (DRC) 18And he said: Shew me thy glory. 19He answered: I will shew thee all good, and I will proclaim in the name of the Lord before thee: and I will have mercy on whom I will, and I will be merciful to whom it shall please me. 20And again he said: Thou canst not see my face: for man shall not see me and live."

The Bible teaches that it in fact were angels representing God that interacted with the Israelites.
(ASV) Acts 7:53, "ye who received the law (1) as it was ordained by angels, and kept it not.(1) Or as the ordinance of angels."
7:37,38, " 37This is that Moses, who said unto the children of Israel, A prophet shall God raise up unto you from among your brethren, like unto me. 38This is he that was in the church in the wilderness with the angel that spake to him in the Mount Sinai, and with our fathers: who received living oracles to give unto us."

A reference explains: "yet Moses never saw Jehovah’s face literally. Rather, as the context shows, it was God’s speaking through angelic spokesmen to Moses in open, verbal communication (instead of by visions or dreams) that gave the basis for such expression."
