Blinded by the Face of God?

The library of mythology undergirding the Christian religion, known as the Bible, claims in the second book, Exodus, that no man can see God's face and live. In the first book, Genesis, Jacob claims to have seen the face of God. Moses makes the same claim in Exodus. Yet, according to the mythology, both men lived. If Jesus was actually God, as the followers claim, many saw his face with no ill effects. Rather than admit the Bible is not inerrant, the cultists employ a myriad of illogical paralogisms to rationalize away the blatant falsehood. It is Cognitive Dissonance on steroids.
