How should 'whom no man has seen nor can see' (1 Timothy 6:16) be read so as not to deny the beatific vision?

Because the beatific vision, as Saint Thomas described it for us... Now, the words beatific vision, you won't find them in Scripture. But what Thomas is referring to is we will have new spiritual bodies given to us at the last day that will be able to see God as He is without being consumed. Because remember, like God told Moses, I can't let you see all of Me because you will not survive, but I will let you see My back parts. And what does that imply, by the way? It implies that there's more to the definition of God than an invisible being. Because if God was invisible in every sense of the word, Moses would not be able to see even the back parts. That's in Exodus 33, by the way. And God shows him Himself because Moses asks God. He says, God, I want to see You. I guess Moses was tired of seeing the Shekinah glory cloud come down from heaven. He had to look at a cloud and talk to it. He wants more. I'll put you in a hole in the mountain there, so you'll just be able to see a little bit of Me as I pass by. And even then, it's going to be My back parts. So that's one aspect of God that we need to agree with. We can't say, oh, well, that's not true, because God's always invisible. No. But none of this denies the beatific vision, because we're not going to see that until we go to heaven. And the reason we will be able to see it without being consumed or destroyed is because we're going to have a new body, a spiritual body. And that's talked about in 1 Corinthians 15, and they will be immortal. Nothing will be able to destroy them. If we had these bodies and not improved at all, then they would not last very long at all. These bodies are flimsy compared to what we will have. So that's why we can see the beatific vision in heaven without being destroyed. So it only applies to what we're going to see in heaven, not what's possible now or how God may be described now, none of that. Now he says here, whom no man has seen, nor can see. At least Moses got to see the back parts of God, but he didn't see all of God. So it still remains true that no man has ever seen God on earth, but he will see Him in heaven.
