Will We Ever 'See' the Father?
thetruth:
Imanuel God with us?

Hi thetruth,
Mat 1:23 Behold, a virgin shall be with child, and shall bring forth a son, and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us.
Yes indeed Christ is God and as for the topic of this thread 'Wiil we ever 'see' the Father,' Christ answered that for us.
John 14:8 Philip said to Him, Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us.
v. 9 Jesus said to him, Have I been with you such a long time and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father. And how do you say, Show us the Father?
v. 10 Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father in Me? The Words that I speak to you I do not speak of Myself, but the Father who dwells in Me, He does the works.
v. 11 Believe Me that I am in the Father and the Father in Me, or else believe Me for the very works themselves.
John 14:6 Jesus said to him, I am the Way, the Truth, and the Life; no one comes to the Father but by Me.
v. 7 If you had known Me, you would have known My Father also. And from now on you know Him and have seen Him.
mercy, peace and love

Let me see if I am getting this right.
If you see Jesus, then you see the Father.
The Words Jesus spoke were not Jesus' Words but the Father's.
The Works Jesus did were actually done by the Father.
One could conclude that They are One and the Same. That there are not two Gods but only One God, which is what the OT says.
The two witnesses, the Old Testament scriptures and the New Testament scriptures say the same thing.
It looks like God can chew gum and skip rope at the same time. He could run the universe (and beyond) while at the same time being on the earth as Jesus.
It appears Jesus the Word is how the Father represents Himself to His creation. The Word comes from the Father and it is by the Word that everything is created and maintained and saved.
I think all of us are going to have to retake God 101 again. We missed out a lot the first time around.
Kat:
Well yes that is what I was saying, it seem so simple when you put it like that.

I will put no horse in this race, I am happy just to know Jesus and His Father, the details will be made clear to all in due time. I just have one observation..this seems familiar like to the Oneness Pentecostals, the Jesus Only sect of Christendom. maybe some things are just too difficult to know. Like how electrons can be particles and waves both at one time... I do think the writer of Ecclesiastes had it just right when he said....
The thing that hath been, it is that which shall be; and that which is done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.
Ecc 1:10 Is there any thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been already of old time, which was before us.
