Will We Ever 'See' the Father?
G. Driggs:
Will we ever see the Father? I think and hope so, but this comment from Ray made me think.
--- Quote from: L. Ray Smith ---So I’m not quite sure yet. You may say what does it matter and so on and so forth? Well to me it is really an interesting concept, to know the answer to it. You know they say familiarity breeds contempt and that certainly is true to a large extent on the human level.
Those that work around the president everyday, after a while they can lose that awe and respect. I don’t think most of his cabinet do, but you know it can happen. You can think I can see his problems, he’s just like us, he’s no better than us. Sort of an attitude.
--- End quote ---
As carnal humans I can see how we would have contempt for the Father if we could see Him. What about as spiritual sons and daughters of God without all the carnality?
I guess we'll just have to wait and "see". For now these are my greatest hopes.
2Co 5:6 Therefore we are always confident, knowing that, whilst we are at home in the body, we are absent from the Lord:
2Co 5:7 (For we walk by faith, not by sight:)
2Co 5:8 We are confident, I say, and willing rather to be absent from the body, and to be present with the Lord.
Gal 2:20 I am crucified with Christ: nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ liveth in me: and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by the faith of the Son of God, who loved me, and gave himself for me.

Dave in Tenn, I hear you Bro' and profound apologies for putting Craig's words in your mouth! :-[
Arc, explicit gratitude for finding the post ;D
Duane, thanks for your considerations, WTG. :)
G.Driggs, a valid question; and compare "When we see Him, we shall be like Him"?
Every Blessing,

The original question was: "Will We Ever 'See' the Father?" I ran across this scripture last night. Jesus is speaking to His disciples - the sermon on the mount. In Matt. 5:8 He says "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God."
