Not sure i understand the question, but no biggy. As a non believer in God this issue is just one of semantics. There just seem to be a large number of people across the old and new testaments who appear to have faced God in person, and even wrestled with him. (Though perhaps this was done with the eyes closed?).
You actually get my respect for cr ...[text shortened]... it would generate a lot of verbal hostility towards you.
That said, you're still a pilchard.

And rightfully so. I don't tolerate used-car salesmen at 10:30am on Sat. morning, either.

Why do you feel I need to, is the more important question. The whole purpose of the Bible is missed by people believing that they can figure it all out and they and they alone have the true and correct teaching. The purpose of the Bible is to tell of Gods plan - creating and redeeming mankind through his son Jesus and of how mankind can get eternal life by believing in Christ and following his commandments. I have nothing to reconcile.
At least until... you know... Judgement.

Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap.

Do not be deceived: God is not mocked, for whatever one sows, that will he also reap.
(Galatians 6:7)
The apostle Paul went on to explain,
"Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life."
(Galatians 6:8 NIV)
The goal of the Christian is not to do good in the flesh in order to reap good in the flesh because that will only lead to destruction. This Christian concept is not the same as the karma of the Hindu or Buddhist, because the Christian seeks to please the Holy Spirit which will reap eternal life. The Hindu or Buddhist seek to save themselves by their own works.
As Jesus put it,
"For whoever wants to save their life will lose it, but whoever loses their life for me will find it. What good will it be for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? Or what can anyone give in exchange for their soul?"
(Matthew 16:25-26 NIV)
