Neither, Amos, Jonah, on and on. Are you saying they are not special witnesses? If not then you have a new term, and I don't care to take on your definition of a new term any more than LDS or Catholic definitions. The principle is clear, god calls men to holy callings, and very, very, very, very seldom do they seem him, but they are his prophets or witnesses (pick your dispensation and title).
If you disagree with this, then you are just picking a fight, not really trying to sort out truth as it is clear. I'm guessing we could sit down and go through about 100 prophets/leaders/apostles/disciples/presidents/HPs, whatever and you will find less than 5 that claim to see Jesus (other than in his life and in the few days after). If not. SHOW ME where those I listed saw god's face (not even his backside)! I will patiently await your list of scriptural references.
I'm certain that all worthy apostles (Special Witnesses) have indeed SEEN, HEARD, and FELT Him in the flesh even if we don't yet have written record of it.
