Many have read this, yet not seen it.

Joh 1:18  No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son,
which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him. 

Here is how the Greek to English is clarified;
Joh 1:18  No man has ever seen God at any time; the only unique Son,
or the only begotten God, Who is in the bosom [in the intimate
presence] of the Father, He has declared Him [He has revealed Him and
brought Him out where He can be seen; He has interpreted Him and He
has made Him known]. (AMP)

Jesus, "He" has declared Him, made him known. This was a major part of
the work of Christ on earth, he who was sacrificed for the sins of the
whole earth.

Of course I expect many arguments on this and this was near the
beginning of Christ's ministry on the earth. During the course of
Christ's first ministry on earth he said this,...

Joh 14:6  Jesus said to him, I am the Way and the Truth and the Life;
no one comes to the Father except by (through) Me. 
Joh 14:7  If you had known Me [had learned to recognize Me], you would
also have known My Father. From now on, you know Him and have seen
Him. 
Joh 14:8  Philip said to Him, Lord, show us the Father [cause us to
see the Father--that is all we ask]; then we shall be satisfied. 
Joh 14:9  Jesus replied, Have I been with all of you for so long a
time, and do you not recognize and know Me yet, Philip? Anyone who has
seen Me has seen the Father. How can you say then, Show us the
Father? 

Now there is much more to this in Chapter 14 for those that care to
see, yet here Jesus clearly states, Anyone who has seen me has seen
the Father.

Jesus was authorized to speak this, He was God's representative on
earth and spoke only on the authorization of His Father. He
represented God well, and He also showed the anger of God regarding
the money changers in the temple, tossing over their tables and
running them out of the temple.

Still need convincing, like a JW will? Very near the end of his
ministry on earth with the messages of Good News, Christ said this,...

Joh 20:26  Eight days later His disciples were again in the house, and
Thomas was with them. Jesus came, though they were behind closed
doors, and stood among them and said, Peace to you! 
Joh 20:27  Then He said to Thomas, Reach out your finger here, and see
My hands; and put out your hand and place [it] in My side. Do not be
faithless and incredulous, but [stop your unbelief and] believe! 
Joh 20:28  Thomas answered Him, My Lord and my God! 
Joh 20:29  Jesus said to him, Because you have seen Me, Thomas, do you
now believe (trust, have faith)? Blessed and happy and to be envied
are those who have never seen Me and yet have believed and adhered to
and trusted and relied on Me.

Yes, ALL the disciples, not just the twelve know fully knew who they
had been living with and following. The rest of the world around
Jerusalem saw God the Father, via Jesus, whether they fully understood
or not.

So we can see now that mankind has seen God since it was an objective
of Jesus to make Him known to all that would listen. God showed
through Jesus Christ many signs, wonders, miracles and healing's.
Raising people from the dead and freeing all who were oppressed of the
enemy.

Jesus here in this last passage also left a message directly to you
and me, when He said, "Blessed and happy and to be envied are those
who have never seen Me and yet have believed and adhered to and
trusted and relied on Me."

Notice, he did not say washed with water, but have believed, etc.

JW's and others are following idols, false images, as part of their
doctrines, their Jesus is not the Jesus that is spoken of in the words
of John. A fact hardly disputed by James when he says he follows a
"Jesus" that the Christians do not. And He is right, he follows a
false image, one he calls Jesus, but knows not. Same with some others
here.

    did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own
advantage;

    by taking the very nature[b] of a servant,

Earl, while the verses you quote from Philippians are very true, they
are not on topic, and they also do not dispute what Jesus said, when
he said you have seen me, you see the Father.

In fact, to use one of your arguments regarding God being one, Jesus
was born as God/man. His name meaning God with us.

You dispute with God and his word with your words and actions. Any
particular reason for it?

All the Old Testament had been assembled for centuries and canonized,
it was also all translated into Greek 300+ years before Christ came.

As to the NT letters had already been written, non canonized at that
point. Paul was also very familiar with writing under the inspiration
of the Holy Spirit, even making reference to that fact a couple times.

1Co 7:5  Defraud ye not one the other, except it be with consent for a
time, that ye may give yourselves to fasting and prayer; and come
together again, that Satan tempt you not for your incontinency. 
1Co 7:6  But I speak this by permission, and not of commandment. 

The OT was accepted by all Jews. Gentiles also knew it was supposed to
be the word of God and was accepted as truth by believers. The NT
canonized a hundred plus years later had to conform to the OT and to
each other in the NT or be tossed out. The Holy Spirit have a lot to
do in showing the conformity of the messages of God and of prophetic
scripture.

Even Peter spoke of the "Oracles of God". 1 Peter 4:11 IOW's man can
have full understanding from God as to what is Godly and what is not.

If you are going to lie, at least TRY to make your words believable.
Rabbinic Judaism recognizes the twenty-four books of the Masoretic
Text, commonly called the Tanakh or Hebrew Bible. There is no
scholarly consensus as to when the Hebrew Bible canon was fixed: some
scholars argue that it was fixed by the Hasmonean dynasty (140-40 BCE)
while others argue it was not fixed until the second century CE or
even later. According to Marc Zvi Brettler, the Jewish scriptures
outside the Torah and the Prophets were fluid, different groups seeing
authority in different books.

The differences between the Hebrew Bible and other versions of the Old
Testament such as the Samaritan Pentateuch, the Syriac Peshitta, the
Latin Vulgate, the Greek Septuagint, the Ethiopian Bible and other
canons, are more substantial. Many of these canons include books and
sections of books that the others do not.

Different religious groups include different books in their Biblical
canons, in varying orders, and sometimes divide or combine books.
Christian Bibles range from the 66 books of the Protestant canon to
the 81 books of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church canon.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Books_of_the_Bible

The Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox, and Assyrian Christian
churches may have minor differences in their lists of accepted books

The OT was accepted by all Jews.
There was no Old testament until there was a "New" Testament.

The 39 books of the Old Testament form the Bible of Judaism, while the
Christian Bible includes those books and also the 27 books of the New
Testament. This list of books included in the Bible is known as the
canon. It was actually not until 367 AD that the church father
Athanasius first provided the complete listing of the 66 books
belonging to the canon.

Obviously the first five books (sometimes called the Torah or the
Pentateuch) were the first to be accepted as canonical.

The prophets’ writings were also not brought together in a single form
until about 200 BC. The remaining Old Testament books were adopted as
canonical even later. The Old Testament list was not finally fixed
much before the birth of Christ. The Jewish people were widely
scattered by this time and they really needed to know which books were
the authoritative Word of God because so many other writings claiming
divine authority were floating around.

Gentiles also knew it was supposed to
be the word of God and was accepted as truth by believers. ..
Which version?
Just the first 5 books?
Or the 5 plus Prophets and kings?
Post by Robert
The NT
canonized a hundred plus years later
Long after St Paul was dead.
Therefore, his letters were not considered Scripture.

Second Epistle of Paul to Timothy
Since the Bible had not been assembled yet, what do you think Paul was
speaking about when he referred to "Scripture." The gospels had not
yet been written, and the Old testament wasn't totally accepted by
anyone. So, what do you believe the "scriptures" were? Could they
have been some of the letters Paul had written to the various groups?
All the Old Testament had been assembled for centuries and canonized,
it was also all translated into Greek 300+ years before Christ came.
If you are going to lie, at least TRY to make your words believable.
Rabbinic Judaism recognizes the twenty-four books of the Masoretic
Text, commonly called the Tanakh or Hebrew Bible. There is no
scholarly consensus as to when the Hebrew Bible canon was fixed: some
scholars argue that it was fixed by the Hasmonean dynasty (140-40 BCE)
while others argue it was not fixed until the second century CE or
even later. According to Marc Zvi Brettler, the Jewish scriptures
outside the Torah and the Prophets were fluid, different groups seeing
authority in different books.
The differences between the Hebrew Bible and other versions of the Old
Testament such as the Samaritan Pentateuch, the Syriac Peshitta, the
Latin Vulgate, the Greek Septuagint, the Ethiopian Bible and other
canons, are more substantial. Many of these canons include books and
sections of books that the others do not.
Different religious groups include different books in their Biblical
canons, in varying orders, and sometimes divide or combine books.
Christian Bibles range from the 66 books of the Protestant canon to
the 81 books of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church canon.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Books_of_the_Bible
The Eastern Orthodox, Oriental Orthodox, and Assyrian Christian
churches may have minor differences in their lists of accepted books
What a hodge podge of information, some truth, some false, some
misleading, all for various reasons and none of it from your
educational background or knowledge.

At this point it is rather hard to communicate with you one this
subject since you have no footing, nothing to base your belief or
understanding on, and to call someone else a liar from the weak
position you stand in is utter nonsense.

To quote modern day so-called Hebrew Jews is ridiculous. They are
outside of God, like their forefathers, and to think of them as
someone to learn from is ridiculous, try reading the Old testament,
especially the minor prophets to find out why.

Same thing with other pseudo-religious groups.

As to the NT letters had already been written, non canonized at that
point. Paul was also very familiar with writing under the inspiration
of the Holy Spirit, even making reference to that fact a couple times.
Did St Paul consider his letters to be "Scripture?"

God speaking to the individual, by the Holy Spirit will lead that one
into truth, as well as distinguish truths from lies, as well as show
the individual where the bible was mistranslated and by confirming
scripture from other parts of God's word what was the original
content of the verses in question.

God's spirit is an important part of the discussion for without him

Septuagint - What is It?
Septuagint (sometimes abbreviated LXX) is the name given to the Greek
translation of the Jewish Scriptures. The Septuagint has its origin in
Alexandria, Egypt and was translated between 300-200 BC. Widely used
among Hellenistic Jews, this Greek translation was produced because
many Jews spread throughout the empire were beginning to lose their
Hebrew language. The process of translating the Hebrew to Greek also
gave many non-Jews a glimpse into Judaism. According to an ancient
document called the Letter of Aristeas, it is believed that 70 to 72
Jewish scholars were commissioned during the reign of Ptolemy
Philadelphus to carry out the task of translation. The term
“Septuagint” means seventy in Latin, and the text is so named to the
credit of these 70 scholars.

Which would mean that all the books of the prophets were in use well
before the LXX was considered.

First of all, we are living in the 21st century. The Bible as it

mudslinging you've done changes nothing. You can discount all the
various canonizers of the Bible that you want, including all your

was no bible. So what.

I gave scripture confirming what was asked, and it is also by that

Real Christians believe in the Trinity.
You obviously do not.
The bible does not teach it,
Yup.
The Bible also doesn't teach the Bible exists.
Yes, it does.
2Ti 3:16  All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is
profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction
The OT is the reference. The bible as commonly understood was in the
future. Its final accepted form was hundreds of years in the making after
Paul.
So the observation the bible does not mention itself is 100 percent
correct. This remains so even when in time the NT is assembled in its
current form.
A whole lot of fairy dancing you've done there.
First of all, we are living in the 21st century. The Bible as it
currently exists has existed that way en total for 1900 years. All the
mudslinging you've done changes nothing. You can discount all the
various canonizers of the Bible that you want, including all your
various "church fathers" that you adhere to, except for this point,
but the end result is the bible we use now. In that Bible are the
references by Paul, Jesus, Peter to the word of God. Scriptures. You
can even pretend that the word bible did not exist and therefore there
was no bible. So what.
At 100 D the individual books of it had been written. For centuries to
come those individual books were in contention to be included in a canon

venerate (v.) Look up venerate at Dictionary.com
1620s, back-formation from veneration, or else from Latin veneratus, past
participle of venerari "to reverence, worship." Related: Venerated;
venerating.
reverence (v.) Look up reverence at Dictionary.com
late 14c., "treat with respect, honor; venerate, pay pious homage to;
esteem, value; bow to (someone); do honor to," from reverence (n.).
Related: Reverenced; reverencing.

Veneration could be for the street beggar that tried to find work. It is a
mark of respect. Not to worry though, you are not likely to have it

tthem to "let all things be done decently and in good order".

In many cultures kissing is a form of social greeting and mutual respect.

In many cultures bowing is a sign of respect not worship, reserved for God
alone. >

We don't know how those mentioned were shown respect ex ept for the
reaction people had for them in scripture.

Kissing and bowing are a strong possibility, recalling hems being kissed
and falling to knees mentioned in the NT as cultural practices.

The question was not answered relative to "venerate,ie respect; "them,

Are bibles and crosses put in place of honor in homes and churches? Would
people destroy them with a smile upon request? Would they pray with hands
clasped on the bible with head bowed?
Recalling the cultural use of kiss and bow above, they fall right in line
as signs of respect with the above, no?

When the question actually askd is answered it looks quite different, no?

Who knows; it is quite irrelevant, scripture is silent on such things. But

The sad part of it is, that in order for him to avoid the

Many have read this, yet not seen it.
Joh 1:18  No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son,
which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him. 
Here is how the Greek to English is clarified;
Joh 1:18  No man has ever seen God at any time; the only unique Son,
or the only begotten God, Who is in the bosom [in the intimate
presence] of the Father, He has declared Him [He has revealed Him and
brought Him out where He can be seen; He has interpreted Him and He
has made Him known]. (AMP)
Jesus, "He" has declared Him, made him known. This was a major part of
the work of Christ on earth, he who was sacrificed for the sins of the
whole earth.
Of course I expect many arguments on this and this was near the
beginning of Christ's ministry on the earth. During the course of
Christ's first ministry on earth he said this,...
Joh 14:6  Jesus said to him, I am the Way and the Truth and the Life;
no one comes to the Father except by (through) Me. 
Joh 14:7  If you had known Me [had learned to recognize Me], you would
also have known My Father. From now on, you know Him and have seen
Him. 
Joh 14:8  Philip said to Him, Lord, show us the Father [cause us to
see the Father--that is all we ask]; then we shall be satisfied. 
Joh 14:9  Jesus replied, Have I been with all of you for so long a
time, and do you not recognize and know Me yet, Philip? Anyone who has
seen Me has seen the Father. How can you say then, Show us the
Father? 
Now there is much more to this in Chapter 14 for those that care to
see, yet here Jesus clearly states, Anyone who has seen me has seen
the Father.
Jesus was authorized to speak this, He was God's representative on
earth and spoke only on the authorization of His Father. He
represented God well, and He also showed the anger of God regarding
the money changers in the temple, tossing over their tables and
running them out of the temple.
Still need convincing, like a JW will? Very near the end of his
ministry on earth with the messages of Good News, Christ said this,...
Joh 20:26  Eight days later His disciples were again in the house, and
Thomas was with them. Jesus came, though they were behind closed
doors, and stood among them and said, Peace to you! 
Joh 20:27  Then He said to Thomas, Reach out your finger here, and see
My hands; and put out your hand and place [it] in My side. Do not be
faithless and incredulous, but [stop your unbelief and] believe! 
Joh 20:28  Thomas answered Him, My Lord and my God! 
Joh 20:29  Jesus said to him, Because you have seen Me, Thomas, do you
now believe (trust, have faith)? Blessed and happy and to be envied
are those who have never seen Me and yet have believed and adhered to
and trusted and relied on Me.
Yes, ALL the disciples, not just the twelve know fully knew who they
had been living with and following. The rest of the world around
Jerusalem saw God the Father, via Jesus, whether they fully understood
or not.
So we can see now that mankind has seen God since it was an objective
of Jesus to make Him known to all that would listen. God showed
through Jesus Christ many signs, wonders, miracles and healing's.
Raising people from the dead and freeing all who were oppressed of the
enemy.
Jesus here in this last passage also left a message directly to you
and me, when He said, "Blessed and happy and to be envied are those
who have never seen Me and yet have believed and adhered to and
trusted and relied on Me."
Notice, he did not say washed with water, but have believed, etc.
JW's and others are following idols, false images, as part of their
doctrines, their Jesus is not the Jesus that is spoken of in the words
of John. A fact hardly disputed by James when he says he follows a
"Jesus" that the Christians do not. And He is right, he follows a
false image, one he calls Jesus, but knows not. Same with some others
here.
They saw flesh only. The never saw divinity, nor knew of his divinity until
after he ascended to the Father..
Philippians 2:6-8New International Version (NIV)
6 
Who, being in very nature[a] God,
    did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own
advantage;
7 
rather, he made himself nothing
    by taking the very nature[b] of a servant,
    being made in human likeness.
8 
And being found in appearance as a man,
    he humbled himself
    by becoming obedient to death—
        even death on a cross!
the dukester, American-American
Earl, while the verses you quote from Philippians are very true, they
are not on topic, and they also do not dispute what Jesus said, when
he said you have seen me, you see the Father.
Give it a break, repete. Scripture says NO man has seen God. Scripture says
"he made himself nothing". End of story. Jesus said "follow me", and no man
would even try is the thought for a second that he was trying to follow
divinity.
Post by Robert
In fact, to use one of your arguments regarding God being one, Jesus
was born as God/man. His name meaning God with us.
You dispute with God and his word with your words and actions. Any
particular reason for it?
Yes, Jesus is fully man and fully God. But no man saw anything but man.

the work of Christ on earth, he who was sacrificed for the sins of the
whole earth.
Of course I expect many arguments on this and this was near the
beginning of Christ's ministry on the earth. During the course of
Christ's first ministry on earth he said this,...
Joh 14:6  Jesus said to him, I am the Way and the Truth and the Life;
no one comes to the Father except by (through) Me. 
Joh 14:7  If you had known Me [had learned to recognize Me], you would
also have known My Father. From now on, you know Him and have seen
Him. 
Joh 14:8  Philip said to Him, Lord, show us the Father [cause us to
see the Father--that is all we ask]; then we shall be satisfied. 
Joh 14:9  Jesus replied, Have I been with all of you for so long a
time, and do you not recognize and know Me yet, Philip? Anyone who has
seen Me has seen the Father. How can you say then, Show us the
Father? 
Now there is much more to this in Chapter 14 for those that care to
see, yet here Jesus clearly states, Anyone who has seen me has seen
the Father.
Jesus was authorized to speak this, He was God's representative on
earth and spoke only on the authorization of His Father. He
represented God well, and He also showed the anger of God regarding
the money changers in the temple, tossing over their tables and
running them out of the temple.
Still need convincing, like a JW will? Very near the end of his
ministry on earth with the messages of Good News, Christ said this,...
Joh 20:26  Eight days later His disciples were again in the house, and
Thomas was with them. Jesus came, though they were behind closed
doors, and stood among them and said, Peace to you! 
Joh 20:27  Then He said to Thomas, Reach out your finger here, and see
My hands; and put out your hand and place [it] in My side. Do not be
faithless and incredulous, but [stop your unbelief and] believe! 
Joh 20:28  Thomas answered Him, My Lord and my God! 
Joh 20:29  Jesus said to him, Because you have seen Me, Thomas, do you
now believe (trust, have faith)? Blessed and happy and to be envied
are those who have never seen Me and yet have believed and adhered to
and trusted and relied on Me.
Yes, ALL the disciples, not just the twelve know fully knew who they
had been living with and following. The rest of the world around
Jerusalem saw God the Father, via Jesus, whether they fully understood
or not.
So we can see now that mankind has seen God since it was an objective
of Jesus to make Him known to all that would listen. God showed
through Jesus Christ many signs, wonders, miracles and healing's.
Raising people from the dead and freeing all who were oppressed of the
enemy.
Jesus here in this last passage also left a message directly to you
and me, when He said, "Blessed and happy and to be envied are those
who have never seen Me and yet have believed and adhered to and
trusted and relied on Me."
Notice, he did not say washed with water, but have believed, etc.
JW's and others are following idols, false images, as part of their
doctrines, their Jesus is not the Jesus that is spoken of in the words
of John. A fact hardly disputed by James when he says he follows a
"Jesus" that the Christians do not. And He is right, he follows a
false image, one he calls Jesus, but knows not. Same with some others
here.
They saw flesh only. The never saw divinity, nor knew of his divinity until
after he ascended to the Father..
Philippians 2:6-8New International Version (NIV)
6 
Who, being in very nature[a] God,
    did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own
advantage;
7 
rather, he made himself nothing
    by taking the very nature[b] of a servant,
    being made in human likeness.
8 
And being found in appearance as a man,
    he humbled himself
    by becoming obedient to death—
        even death on a cross!

Earl, while the verses you quote from Philippians are very true, they
are not on topic, and they also do not dispute what Jesus said, when
he said you have seen me, you see the Father.
Give it a break, repete. Scripture says NO man has seen God. Scripture says
"he made himself nothing". End of story. Jesus said "follow me", and no man
would even try is the thought for a second that he was trying to follow
divinity.
Well, Earl, the plain and simple fact is that Jesus said, if you have
seen me you have seen God. Are you calling Jesus a liar? All I did was
quote HIS words.

Jesus is God, he was divinity and is. And now you have just a peak at
the truth, you are absolutely right in that no man can follow
divinity, that is why mankind by faith must be born again, become a
new creature in Christ Jesus, it is also why the Holy Spirit takes up
residence within our spirit, and seals the spirit unto salvation. It
is why mankind, once born again is empowered with the power of God via
the Holy Spirit, plus via our spirits our minds now become renewed in
the things of God. and the sum total of this gives us the reality of
being just like Him. Scripture says, as Jesus Christ is, so are we IN
THIS WORLD.

Yes, you cannot do it by yourself, and that is what God has been
trying to teach and show you. Not by works lest any man boast.

In fact, to use one of your arguments regarding God being one, Jesus
was born as God/man. His name meaning God with us.
You dispute with God and his word with your words and actions. Any
particular reason for it?
Yes, Jesus is fully man and fully God. But no man saw anything but man.
Then why did Thomas say with amazement, My Lord and my God?

Why did Jesus make a clear distinction between those that saw him
then, and believed, meaning throughout his ministry, and us in this
day who believe by faith? They saw, and we didn't with our physical
eyes.

Plus, according to your doctrine of Trinity, if you saw one, you saw
them all.

Absolutely correct, he does not speak of himself.
1Jn 4:1  BELOVED, DO not put faith in every spirit, but prove (test)
the spirits to discover whether they proceed from God; for many false
prophets have gone forth into the world.

You may not have given it much thought, but there is the world that is
real to our five senses, and there is a world that is spiritually
real. The spiritual world is forever, and the true reality, our normal
reality is temporal, everything in it dies.

When our spirit is born again, it is made alive unto God, and also is
our eternal spirit that will dwell with him. If we, via the renewing
of our mind, learn to listen and speak to God, then we will become
spiritually aware, able to cast out spirits and so on. We would also
act out of love, and not some pretense of love, but actual love.

If we draw near to God we will begin to also hear his voice, just like
Jesus said, My sheep here my voice. Through experience we will also
know His voice, and so on. there is so much more than this but most
are fearful of anything spiritual and Satan loves it that way.

Scripture says, as Jesus Christ is, so are we IN
THIS WORLD.
Perhaps you could share this reference with us.
1Jn 4:17  Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness
in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.
16 And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God
is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him.
.17 ¶ Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in
the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.
+ The entire reference is pertaining to God's love for us.
I have no idea what you are reading into this.
That is for sure. You cannot understand at this point what I and many
others do, since the spirit of God does not dwell in you. (as you have
admitted. I am not knocking you on it, but you do need him.)
And your forgot to mention that he are a religion of one person.

the dukester, American-American
Earl, while the verses you quote from Philippians are very true, they
are not on topic, and they also do not dispute what Jesus said, when
he said you have seen me, you see the Father.
Give it a break, repete. Scripture says NO man has seen God. Scripture says
"he made himself nothing". End of story. Jesus said "follow me", and no man
would even try is the thought for a second that he was trying to follow
divinity.
Well, Earl, the plain and simple fact is that Jesus said, if you have
seen me you have seen God. Are you calling Jesus a liar? All I did was
quote HIS words.
In the Old testament, Jesus had not yet been born.
Jesus was not active yet.
Joh_8:58  Jesus replied, I assure you, most solemnly I tell you,
before Abraham was born, I AM.
Yes.
Did you read my words?
Jesus was not active yet.
There is no mention of Jesus in the old testament except that a
messiah was to be born of the house of David. Jesus was not active
yet.
He was active,
Joh 1:2  The same was in the beginning with God. 
Joh 1:3  All things were made by him; and without him was not any
thing made that was made.
He was also noted as the "Lamb of God"
But you are correct in that he was not born as man yet.
Thank you.
He was known as the Carpenter's son for his first 30 years on earth.
THEN.... He started his ministry.
When he received the Holy Ghost.

Many have read this, yet not seen it.
Joh 1:18  No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son,
which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him. 
Here is how the Greek to English is clarified;
Joh 1:18  No man has ever seen God at any time; the only unique Son,
or the only begotten God, Who is in the bosom [in the intimate
presence] of the Father, He has declared Him [He has revealed Him and
brought Him out where He can be seen; He has interpreted Him and He
has made Him known]. (AMP)
Jesus, "He" has declared Him, made him known. This was a major part of
the work of Christ on earth, he who was sacrificed for the sins of the
whole earth.
Of course I expect many arguments on this and this was near the
beginning of Christ's ministry on the earth. During the course of
Christ's first ministry on earth he said this,...
Joh 14:6  Jesus said to him, I am the Way and the Truth and the Life;
no one comes to the Father except by (through) Me. 
Joh 14:7  If you had known Me [had learned to recognize Me], you would
also have known My Father. From now on, you know Him and have seen
Him. 
Joh 14:8  Philip said to Him, Lord, show us the Father [cause us to
see the Father--that is all we ask]; then we shall be satisfied. 
Joh 14:9  Jesus replied, Have I been with all of you for so long a
time, and do you not recognize and know Me yet, Philip? Anyone who has
seen Me has seen the Father. How can you say then, Show us the
Father? 
Now there is much more to this in Chapter 14 for those that care to
see, yet here Jesus clearly states, Anyone who has seen me has seen
the Father.
Jesus was authorized to speak this, He was God's representative on
earth and spoke only on the authorization of His Father. He
represented God well, and He also showed the anger of God regarding
the money changers in the temple, tossing over their tables and
running them out of the temple.
Still need convincing, like a JW will? Very near the end of his
ministry on earth with the messages of Good News, Christ said this,...
Joh 20:26  Eight days later His disciples were again in the house, and
Thomas was with them. Jesus came, though they were behind closed
doors, and stood among them and said, Peace to you! 
Joh 20:27  Then He said to Thomas, Reach out your finger here, and see
My hands; and put out your hand and place [it] in My side. Do not be
faithless and incredulous, but [stop your unbelief and] believe! 
Joh 20:28  Thomas answered Him, My Lord and my God! 
Joh 20:29  Jesus said to him, Because you have seen Me, Thomas, do you
now believe (trust, have faith)? Blessed and happy and to be envied
are those who have never seen Me and yet have believed and adhered to
and trusted and relied on Me.
Yes, ALL the disciples, not just the twelve know fully knew who they
had been living with and following. The rest of the world around
Jerusalem saw God the Father, via Jesus, whether they fully understood
or not.
So we can see now that mankind has seen God since it was an objective
of Jesus to make Him known to all that would listen. God showed
through Jesus Christ many signs, wonders, miracles and healing's.
Raising people from the dead and freeing all who were oppressed of the
enemy.
Jesus here in this last passage also left a message directly to you
and me, when He said, "Blessed and happy and to be envied are those
who have never seen Me and yet have believed and adhered to and
trusted and relied on Me."
Notice, he did not say washed with water, but have believed, etc.
JW's and others are following idols, false images, as part of their
doctrines, their Jesus is not the Jesus that is spoken of in the words
of John. A fact hardly disputed by James when he says he follows a
"Jesus" that the Christians do not. And He is right, he follows a
false image, one he calls Jesus, but knows not. Same with some others
here.
They saw flesh only. The never saw divinity, nor knew of his divinity until
after he ascended to the Father..
Philippians 2:6-8New International Version (NIV)
6 
Who, being in very nature[a] God,
    did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own
advantage;
7 
rather, he made himself nothing
    by taking the very nature[b] of a servant,
    being made in human likeness.
8 
And being found in appearance as a man,
    he humbled himself
    by becoming obedient to death—
        even death on a cross!

Earl, while the verses you quote from Philippians are very true, they
are not on topic, and they also do not dispute what Jesus said, when
he said you have seen me, you see the Father.
Give it a break, repete. Scripture says NO man has seen God. Scripture says
"he made himself nothing". End of story. Jesus said "follow me", and no man
would even try is the thought for a second that he was trying to follow
divinity.
Well, Earl, the plain and simple fact is that Jesus said, if you have
seen me you have seen God. Are you calling Jesus a liar? All I did was

I think that Duke was referring to God in His true form, not His earthly form.

But yet a problem with this still exists BECAUSE of the transformation of Christ on the mountain with two disciples present.
Post by Robert
Jesus is God, he was divinity and is. And now you have just a peak at
the truth, you are absolutely right in that no man can follow
divinity, that is why mankind by faith must be born again, become a
new creature in Christ Jesus, it is also why the Holy Spirit takes up
residence within our spirit, and seals the spirit unto salvation. It
is why mankind, once born again is empowered with the power of God via
the Holy Spirit, plus via our spirits our minds now become renewed in
the things of God. and the sum total of this gives us the reality of
being just like Him. Scripture says, as Jesus Christ is, so are we IN
THIS WORLD.
Yes, you cannot do it by yourself, and that is what God has been
trying to teach and show you. Not by works lest any man boast.
Post by duke
Post by Robert
In fact, to use one of your arguments regarding God being one, Jesus
was born as God/man. His name meaning God with us.
You dispute with God and his word with your words and actions. Any
particular reason for it?
Yes, Jesus is fully man and fully God. But no man saw anything but man.
Then why did Thomas say with amazement, My Lord and my God?
Why did Jesus make a clear distinction between those that saw him
then, and believed, meaning throughout his ministry, and us in this
day who believe by faith? They saw, and we didn't with our physical
eyes.
Plus, according to your doctrine of Trinity, if you saw one, you saw
them all.

also have known My Father. From now on, you know Him and have seen
Him. 
Joh 14:8  Philip said to Him, Lord, show us the Father [cause us to
see the Father--that is all we ask]; then we shall be satisfied. 
Joh 14:9  Jesus replied, Have I been with all of you for so long a
time, and do you not recognize and know Me yet, Philip? Anyone who has
seen Me has seen the Father. How can you say then, Show us the
Father? 
Now there is much more to this in Chapter 14 for those that care to
see, yet here Jesus clearly states, Anyone who has seen me has seen
the Father.
Jesus was authorized to speak this, He was God's representative on
earth and spoke only on the authorization of His Father. He
represented God well, and He also showed the anger of God regarding
the money changers in the temple, tossing over their tables and
running them out of the temple.
Still need convincing, like a JW will? Very near the end of his
ministry on earth with the messages of Good News, Christ said this,...
Joh 20:26  Eight days later His disciples were again in the house, and
Thomas was with them. Jesus came, though they were behind closed
doors, and stood among them and said, Peace to you! 
Joh 20:27  Then He said to Thomas, Reach out your finger here, and see
My hands; and put out your hand and place [it] in My side. Do not be
faithless and incredulous, but [stop your unbelief and] believe! 
Joh 20:28  Thomas answered Him, My Lord and my God! 
Joh 20:29  Jesus said to him, Because you have seen Me, Thomas, do you
now believe (trust, have faith)? Blessed and happy and to be envied
are those who have never seen Me and yet have believed and adhered to
and trusted and relied on Me.
Yes, ALL the disciples, not just the twelve know fully knew who they
had been living with and following. The rest of the world around
Jerusalem saw God the Father, via Jesus, whether they fully understood
or not.
So we can see now that mankind has seen God since it was an objective
of Jesus to make Him known to all that would listen. God showed
through Jesus Christ many signs, wonders, miracles and healing's.
Raising people from the dead and freeing all who were oppressed of the
enemy.
Jesus here in this last passage also left a message directly to you
and me, when He said, "Blessed and happy and to be envied are those
who have never seen Me and yet have believed and adhered to and
trusted and relied on Me."
Notice, he did not say washed with water, but have believed, etc.
JW's and others are following idols, false images, as part of their
doctrines, their Jesus is not the Jesus that is spoken of in the words
of John. A fact hardly disputed by James when he says he follows a
"Jesus" that the Christians do not. And He is right, he follows a
false image, one he calls Jesus, but knows not. Same with some others
here.
They saw flesh only. The never saw divinity, nor knew of his divinity until
after he ascended to the Father..
Philippians 2:6-8New International Version (NIV)
6 
Who, being in very nature[a] God,
    did not consider equality with God something to be used to his own
advantage;
7 
rather, he made himself nothing
    by taking the very nature[b] of a servant,
    being made in human likeness.
8 
And being found in appearance as a man,
    he humbled himself
    by becoming obedient to death—
        even death on a cross!

Earl, while the verses you quote from Philippians are very true, they
are not on topic, and they also do not dispute what Jesus said, when
he said you have seen me, you see the Father.
Give it a break, repete. Scripture says NO man has seen God. Scripture says
"he made himself nothing". End of story. Jesus said "follow me", and no man
would even try is the thought for a second that he was trying to follow
divinity.
Well, Earl, the plain and simple fact is that Jesus said, if you have
seen me you have seen God. Are you calling Jesus a liar? All I did was
quote HIS words.
I think that Duke was referring to God in His true form, not His earthly form.
But yet a problem with this still exists BECAUSE of the transformation of Christ on the mountain with two disciples present.
The Transfiguration
It is in this context of confusion among the disciples that we read the
transfiguration story. Six days went by after Peter's confrontation with Jesus,
apparently uneventful but no doubt filled with confusion on the part of the
disciples. Then Jesus took Peter, James, and John up "to a high mountain" where
they witnessed a most wonderful sight. Jesus was glorified before their eyes.
His body took on a different appearance (Matt. 17:2). Then there appeared Moses
and Elijah. When we think about it, these two characters fit perfectly in this
scene. Moses was the great lawgiver in Israelite history, but he was also the
first of God's great prophets (cf. Deut 18:14ff). Elijah was a great prophet
too. Furthermore, both of them saw an appearance of God in their lifetimes
(Moses: Exod 33:17ff; Elijah: 1 Kings 19:9ff), and both of these occurred on a
mountain (Mt. Sinai). Both of them, like Jesus, had performed mighty works in
the name of the Lord God of Israel, and both had experienced, to some degree,
the rejection of their own people. These two characters have symbolic
significance as well. Together they represent the Law and the Prophets, both of
which pointed to Jesus (cf. Rom. 3:21).

Then there was the heavenly voice speaking the same words that were heard at
Jesus' baptism (Matt. 3:17). It is important to note that the heavenly voice
sounded while Peter was suggesting the building of three tents (no doubt as
"shrines") for Jesus and the other two figures. It seems that Peter thought the
kingdom could be established right there and then. Just a few days earlier he
had heard Jesus say that some of them would live to see it (Matt.16:28), and no
doubt he assumed this was it. But whereas Peter wanted to give Jesus, Moses, and
Elijah equal treatment, the divine voice corrects him. The voice from heaven
singled out Jesus as the new and sole source of authority. Again, Peter stood
corrected. Then, just about as quickly as it had happened, it was over (Matt.
17:7f).

You openly reject most of the teachings of Jesus. You are not born again

This was after the cross, and more than hours after the resurrection
which would make no difference.

Seems you are changing your tune since you always revert to the
baptism of John, way before the cross. At least that is an
improvement.

I'm sorry, but no, I am not. I do not think like you, as a believer I
also see things spiritually. Jesus also clearly spoke as to who he was
and is, and why one should see the father when they saw him, reread
the verses if you have to. He asked have I been with you this long and
you still do not see? Or words to that affect. Yet here you are making
excuses for what you do not see or understand. Jesus made the specific
and clear statement, he who has seen me has seen the Father.

No, dimwit, he was conceived that way, not born that way. Conceived,
not incarnated. Incarnation requires a body. Conception requires and
egg and the means to impregnate the egg where the cell starts
splitting until a human form is made up. IOW's far beyond the stage of

Thomas addressed He who was fully God and fully man in the confirmation

Of course being fully God and fully man in one undivided nature what of she
who bore Him in her womb? Could she be properly said to be the "God
bearer" to add support to His "fully both undivided" nature?

Unlike the father as God who is spirit, being also fulll man in Christ's
physicl presence, would a graphical representation of the son evoke the "no
graven image" of God?

These were questions that came up in the early years of the church. Like
in Actts, they met in council to decide such matters of faith and
practice.

Christ had already revealed His divinity to the apostles. His death caused

Any theory making of Christ less then fully God and fully man undivided has
Thomas to deal with. One small bit and all such theories go "poof".

So, who was Christ? Was He fully God and fully man undivided or is there
another theory afoot? One might consult the beginning of John.

Whatever SH is. You sure do a poor job of hacking up posts, it also

Mat 16:16  And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the
Son of the living God. 
Mat 16:17  And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou,
Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but
my Father which is in heaven.

Well before the death of Christ.

And before the birth of Christ, the promise, then the realization of
the promise spoken of here.

Luk 2:26  And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he
should not see death, before he had seen the Lord's Christ. 
Luk 2:27  And he came by the Spirit into the temple: and when the
parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him after the custom of
the law, 
Luk 2:28  Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said, 
Luk 2:29  Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace,
according to thy word: 
Luk 2:30  For mine eyes have seen thy salvation, 
Luk 2:31  Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people; 

Now Thomas believed per the scriptures posted, then deleted by you,...

Joh 20:25  The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen
the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the
print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and

Any theory making of Christ less then fully God and fully man undivided has
Thomas to deal with. One small bit and all such theories go "poof".
So, who was Christ? Was He fully God and fully man undivided or is there
another theory afoot? One might consult the beginning of John.
Had you read the scripture I posted in the first place you would have
had an answer to all of this. I do not go by religion or traditions of
men.
I did read it, Christ as fully God and fully man undivided confirmed in the
example of Thomas; "my lord and my God".
So the question stands, who was Christ ; was He fully God and fully man
undivided or is there another theory afoot?
I was speaking of the original post I made, made up mostly of
scripture, and you snipped virtually all of it. Read that, I made it
clear that is what I believed.

Every theory now proposed these 2000 years later is of rligion, even if
only the lone ranger flavor; and exactly invented of man.
The unbroken 2000 year witness; beginning in scripture benchmark, not the
confused mumblings of a lone ranger bible reader with a digital divination
meter with its heavenly wifi connnection.
Go to my original post, my answer is there, unchanged.

Obviously you are clueless as to what constitutes religion, and what
the difference is between religion and the Good News.

Sadly your mocking ways will come back to haunt you.

Now go back to the original post, scripture there will show you what I
believe.

Thomas addressed He who was fully God and fully man in the confirmation
of His wombs.
His "Wombs"?
Fool, you should have read the scriptures provided. What Thomas
finally recognized is what Jesus was all along, and his words
testified of that.
Thomas doubted a risen Christ. When invited to see the marks and place his

grave doubts among them, the physical evidence changed the mind of a
doubting Thomas.
Thomas was also a disciple, His divinity was already understood by
some as revealed by the Holy Spirit.
Pentecost and the promised SH was then a future event. He believed because
of the empty tomb and the physical evidence of His body as risen Christ.
Whatever SH is. You sure do a poor job of hacking up posts, it also
shows your lack of understanding.
Mat 16:16  And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the
Son of the living God. 
Mat 16:17  And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou,
Simon Barjona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but
my Father which is in heaven.
Well before the death of Christ.
And before the birth of Christ, the promise, then the realization of
the promise spoken of here.
Luk 2:26  And it was revealed unto him by the Holy Ghost, that he
should not see death, before he had seen the Lord's Christ. 
Luk 2:27  And he came by the Spirit into the temple: and when the
parents brought in the child Jesus, to do for him after the custom of
the law, 
Luk 2:28  Then took he him up in his arms, and blessed God, and said, 
Luk 2:29  Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace,
according to thy word: 
Luk 2:30  For mine eyes have seen thy salvation, 
Luk 2:31  Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people; 
Now Thomas believed per the scriptures posted, then deleted by you,...
Joh 20:25  The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen
the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the
print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and
thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe.

The "the father and I are one" is part of the scripture support for
trinity,ie. one God 3 persons.

It is support for Christ being fully God and fully man undivided.

It does not support the jw like statement about Christ offered previously
in this thread as "repsentative" etc. from the divine or any such notion.

Noting that the reference is "Jesus" not "christ" almost always when such
jw like theory is suggested. This leaves us as before:

Who was Christ? Was He fully God and fully man undivided?

Technically, using the term as understood by the jews, neither.

3rd.

Twice Christ as a physical man said He was also God. The jews present
sought to stone Him for this claim.

Now tell us about the first section of John and the "word becoming flesh
and the flesh was God".

Then when Christ as that word/flesh prayed to the father, two persons, He
must have been praying to himself?

And none of the above scripture bits distract from Christ being fully God
and fully man undivided, they butress it in fact.

So we have our answer, Christ was fully God and fully man undivided.

Another one of your absurd phrases, according to you if it isn't in
the bible then do as you wish. Fact of the matter, be so absurd as to
say if one does not call the Word, "Holy" as in Holy Bible, then it
just does not exist. Most everyone know what the word bible means, and
they also know the difference between a bible on a persons life and
the Bible used in worship. FOTM, I seem to remember you and someone
else making a sticking point of if you don't call it the Holy Bible
then no one has a clue of the subject matter.

Also, regarding the argument from silence, it is considered that if
God did not mention stuff that it was just not important to us for our
daily walk. You use the phrase in various ways, none of it meaningful.
You also allow pagan concepts to enter in to your understanding and
base whole beliefs on them when nothing that you believe related to
those concepts is mentioned or inferred in the Bible. You use the
position of silence to justify your beliefs.

Scripture does speak of the relationship of father/son to HS elsewhere.
It also mentions the seven spirits of God. You never mention them and
they have been sent throughout the earth.

Of course the Bible speaks of God's Holy Spirit, it also mentions the
relationship of God's spirit to me and to God the Father. It also
mentions the relationship of God the Father to me, a son of his, and
the relationship of Jesus to me as well as to His Father.

In Fact Jesus Prayed that we might all be one. That is not an argument
based on silence, it is likewise not numerically defined in any way.
It is fully open ended. It also fully disrupts your pagan influenced
doctrine.

Then you have a God who has a split personality, since Jesus said that

and done, and the new earth created and so on, returning the gifts
that God the father gave to him to use so that the Father might be all
in all. You also have the fact that God the Father abandoned Jesus on
the Cross. Is your god schizoid? Do you, as a matter of fact, worship
a False God? IOW's an idol? An idol of your making and support based
on the standpoint of "silence"?

I gave you the answer, with a pointer so that you could not miss it.
All you are showing me is that you purposely ignore it.
The "the father and I are one" is part of the scripture support for
trinity,ie. one God 3 persons.
There are two persons mentioned there, not three, and no use of the
word trinity any place in the Bible.
No one is arguing with you here.
And we have agreed with this dozens of times.....

It is support for Christ being fully God and fully man undivided.
Joh 14:28  Ye have heard how I said unto you, I go away, and come
again unto you. If ye loved me, ye would rejoice, because I said, I go
unto the Father: for my Father is greater than I.
This was Jesus (the man) speaking of God, the father. **
No, Jesus, "God with us", was speaking to men about his relationship
with his father.

Joh 20:28  Thomas answered Him, My Lord and my God! 
Oops, there goes the jw and robert word dance in one stroke, sorry bub.
Thomas addressed He who was fully God and fully man in the confirmation
of His wombs.
His "Wombs"?
Fool, you should have read the scriptures provided. What Thomas
finally recognized is what Jesus was all along, and his words
testified of that.
Thomas doubted a risen Christ. When invited to see the marks and place his
hand in His side he believedd.
The next declaration from him "my lord and God".
Christ had already revealed His divinity to the apostles. His death caused
grave doubts among them, the physical evidence changed the mind of a
doubting Thomas.
Any theory making of Christ less then fully God and fully man undivided has
Thomas to deal with. One small bit and all such theories go "poof".
So, who was Christ? Was He fully God and fully man undivided or is there
another theory afoot? One might consult the beginning of John.
It is interesting, that in the first centuries, the Church had to
"prove" that Jesus was human. The idea that he could be a god was
easily acceptable in the culture around them.
Now, the problem is proving that he's God. Because such a notion
doesn't fit the paradigm of the culture around us.

I can understand why you would think that, and to an extent it is
true, but the simple fact is that the disciples were performing
miracles, casting out demons, and so on, solely based on the words and
authorization of Jesus Christ. They were amazed and shocked at the
power they had from the very beginning of His ministry, plus some
understood because of what the holy spirit revealed to them, as Jesus
said. Yes, they had much to learn, even so.

Many have read this, yet not seen it.
Joh 1:18 No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son,
which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.
Here is how the Greek to English is clarified;
Joh 1:18 No man has ever seen God at any time; the only unique Son,
or the only begotten God, Who is in the bosom [in the intimate
presence] of the Father, He has declared Him [He has revealed Him and
brought Him out where He can be seen; He has interpreted Him and He
has made Him known]. (AMP)
Jesus, "He" has declared Him, made him known. This was a major part of
the work of Christ on earth, he who was sacrificed for the sins of the
whole earth.
Of course I expect many arguments on this and this was near the
beginning of Christ's ministry on the earth. During the course of
Christ's first ministry on earth he said this,...
Joh 14:6 Jesus said to him, I am the Way and the Truth and the Life;
no one comes to the Father except by (through) Me.
Joh 14:7 If you had known Me [had learned to recognize Me], you would
also have known My Father. From now on, you know Him and have seen
Him.
Joh 14:8 Philip said to Him, Lord, show us the Father [cause us to
see the Father--that is all we ask]; then we shall be satisfied.
Joh 14:9 Jesus replied, Have I been with all of you for so long a
time, and do you not recognize and know Me yet, Philip? Anyone who has
seen Me has seen the Father. How can you say then, Show us the
Father?
Now there is much more to this in Chapter 14 for those that care to
see, yet here Jesus clearly states, Anyone who has seen me has seen
the Father.
Jesus was authorized to speak this, He was God's representative on
earth and spoke only on the authorization of His Father. He
represented God well, and He also showed the anger of God regarding
the money changers in the temple, tossing over their tables and
running them out of the temple.
Still need convincing, like a JW will? Very near the end of his
ministry on earth with the messages of Good News, Christ said this,...
Joh 20:26 Eight days later His disciples were again in the house, and
Thomas was with them. Jesus came, though they were behind closed
doors, and stood among them and said, Peace to you!
Joh 20:27 Then He said to Thomas, Reach out your finger here, and see
My hands; and put out your hand and place [it] in My side. Do not be
faithless and incredulous, but [stop your unbelief and] believe!
Joh 20:28 Thomas answered Him, My Lord and my God!
Joh 20:29 Jesus said to him, Because you have seen Me, Thomas, do you
now believe (trust, have faith)? Blessed and happy and to be envied
are those who have never seen Me and yet have believed and adhered to
and trusted and relied on Me.
Yes, ALL the disciples, not just the twelve know fully knew who they
had been living with and following. The rest of the world around
Jerusalem saw God the Father, via Jesus, whether they fully understood
or not.
So we can see now that mankind has seen God since it was an objective
of Jesus to make Him known to all that would listen. God showed
through Jesus Christ many signs, wonders, miracles and healing's.
Raising people from the dead and freeing all who were oppressed of the
enemy.
Jesus here in this last passage also left a message directly to you
and me, when He said, "Blessed and happy and to be envied are those
who have never seen Me and yet have believed and adhered to and
trusted and relied on Me."
Notice, he did not say washed with water, but have believed, etc.
So you believe that Matthew 3:11 make water baptism unecessary..I
would agree with you that in some cases it would not be required
like that of the thief on the cross, or new believers that are as
yet not a member of a church some where, but in the end don't you
also believe that this would be solely up to the discretion of God ?

Many have read this, yet not seen it.
Joh 1:18 No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son,
which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.
Here is how the Greek to English is clarified;
Joh 1:18 No man has ever seen God at any time; the only unique Son,
or the only begotten God, Who is in the bosom [in the intimate
presence] of the Father, He has declared Him [He has revealed Him and
brought Him out where He can be seen; He has interpreted Him and He
has made Him known]. (AMP)
Jesus, "He" has declared Him, made him known. This was a major part of
the work of Christ on earth, he who was sacrificed for the sins of the
whole earth.
Of course I expect many arguments on this and this was near the
beginning of Christ's ministry on the earth. During the course of
Christ's first ministry on earth he said this,...
Joh 14:6 Jesus said to him, I am the Way and the Truth and the Life;
no one comes to the Father except by (through) Me.
Joh 14:7 If you had known Me [had learned to recognize Me], you would
also have known My Father. From now on, you know Him and have seen
Him.
Joh 14:8 Philip said to Him, Lord, show us the Father [cause us to
see the Father--that is all we ask]; then we shall be satisfied.
Joh 14:9 Jesus replied, Have I been with all of you for so long a
time, and do you not recognize and know Me yet, Philip? Anyone who has
seen Me has seen the Father. How can you say then, Show us the
Father?
Now there is much more to this in Chapter 14 for those that care to
see, yet here Jesus clearly states, Anyone who has seen me has seen
the Father.
Jesus was authorized to speak this, He was God's representative on
earth and spoke only on the authorization of His Father. He
represented God well, and He also showed the anger of God regarding
the money changers in the temple, tossing over their tables and
running them out of the temple.
Still need convincing, like a JW will? Very near the end of his
ministry on earth with the messages of Good News, Christ said this,...
Joh 20:26 Eight days later His disciples were again in the house, and
Thomas was with them. Jesus came, though they were behind closed
doors, and stood among them and said, Peace to you!
Joh 20:27 Then He said to Thomas, Reach out your finger here, and see
My hands; and put out your hand and place [it] in My side. Do not be
faithless and incredulous, but [stop your unbelief and] believe!
Joh 20:28 Thomas answered Him, My Lord and my God!
Joh 20:29 Jesus said to him, Because you have seen Me, Thomas, do you
now believe (trust, have faith)? Blessed and happy and to be envied
are those who have never seen Me and yet have believed and adhered to
and trusted and relied on Me.
Yes, ALL the disciples, not just the twelve know fully knew who they
had been living with and following. The rest of the world around
Jerusalem saw God the Father, via Jesus, whether they fully understood
or not.
So we can see now that mankind has seen God since it was an objective
of Jesus to make Him known to all that would listen. God showed
through Jesus Christ many signs, wonders, miracles and healing's.
Raising people from the dead and freeing all who were oppressed of the
enemy.
Jesus here in this last passage also left a message directly to you
and me, when He said, "Blessed and happy and to be envied are those
who have never seen Me and yet have believed and adhered to and
trusted and relied on Me."
Notice, he did not say washed with water, but have believed, etc.
So you believe that Matthew 3:11 make water baptism unecessary..I
would agree with you that in some cases it would not be required
like that of the thief on the cross, or new believers that are as
yet not a member of a church some where, but in the end don't you
also believe that this would be solely up to the discretion of God ?
Good answer.
