And what evidence is that? Perhaps you mean more to the fact that I don't agree with you.

Perhaps you should try reading for comprehension. You don't seem to be getting it.

The name's not Raven, it's Ravenshire.

Still nothing. I'm guessing that's all you'll ever have.

I contend that no one has literally seen God's face. Period. You can't take the Bible at face value by cherry picking verses hyperliterally.
The Bible says God spoke to Moses face to face, and clarifies this by adding it was in the manner that a man speaks to his friend.
You contend that this verse means exactly the opposite of what it says.
I contend that the god described in the Bible cannot exist by the law of non-contradiction. 

Here it says he spoke to Moses face-to-face, and John 1:18 says, "No man hath seen God at any time"

You come down on the side of the author of John, and that's fine!  But the conjunction of the man Moses seeing God's face, and no man seeing God's face cannot be true by the law of non-contradiction, which can be derived from the law of identity by a DeMorgan transformation and is literally the most fundamental principle of logic (to attempt to negate the law of non-contradiction you would need to invoke it!).
