Contradiction or Theophany and God's Triune Nature

If no one has seen the Father at any time, then how do we account for this verse? Obviously God is speaking to Abraham face to face in physical form, and if our theology is accurate, if anyone sees God the Father he/she will die because sin cannot be in the presence of the Father. Yet, God is physically manifested and talking to Abraham. How do we account for this contradiction in the word? How Can God talk to man face to face yet man is still living? Either the Bible contradicts itself or what we are seeing is the physical manifestation of God the SON in Christ Jesus. There are many other Theophanies or physical manifestations throughout the scriptures. It's passages like this that lead Christians to adopt a concept about God that He is triune in nature, that is, a Trinity. 1 in 3 and 3 in 1, God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. If God does not have a triune nature then the Bible is filled with a contradiction, for their is only one God as the scriptures say, and if anyone sees God he/she will die, so this must be linked to God the father and all physical manifestations throughout the scriptures must be by the Son or the Holy Spirit. As we search the scriptures together we analyze this triune realationship so stay plugged in and we look at them along the way!
