has any one sen God

Has anyone seen God or not?

Exodus 24:9-11, Exodus 33:11; Exodus 6:2-3, John 1:18

                     Has seen

(Gen. 17:1)

[Matthitjah]

Remember Jacob wrestled with the Lord. The Lord broke his hip. I think the passages saying The Lord was present was the preincarnate Christ. The passages where no one has seen G-d are passages about G-d the father.

The passage John6:46 that you quote is evident in this fact.

Remember in Genesis G-d is walking thru the garden in the cool of the day. Adam and Eve hide themselves from him because they are ashamed and nude. The supposition is that if they had not eaten the fruit and sinned, they would not have hid. Then they would have been in his presence.

Call to mind John 1:3 All things were made by him: and without him was not any thing made that was made.(Jesus)

He is the word and the Word was with G-d, and the Word was G-d.

Exodus 33:20 "No man can see me and Live"

Adam and Eve could have seen him before the fall because they were not convicted of sin. After the fall they were convicted of sin and had they not hidden surely would have died. Jesus takes away that sin. Surely people have been in his presence and lived. He is the price paid for that sin.

"No man goes to the father except by me." He's your onramp to the G-d network so to speak.

Just my thoughts.

We are to walk by faith and not by sight.

Yes, I have seen God and No, I have not seen God.

I see God... everytime I look in the mirror!

How can I say such a thing?

I was made in his likeness and image. :thumb:

Guys we are talking about doctrine. These is one of the Bible difficulties that the atheist's use to say that the Bible is incorrect. Lets give some biblical answers that we can give to an unbeliever. It is easy to answer to a Christian but to an unbeliever we just have to be more equipped . God Bless

I was serious, but I suppose far too vague for you.

Ephesians 2:12 - for the "unbeliever" they have no God in the world - the answer to them is that they cannot see God.  When and if they become believers, then they can only see God through the Word - Hebrews 4:12 - 16 with the hope of seeing God face to face - 1 Corinthians 13:12.

I got this of a different website...

And I agree with this answer very much.

The solution is simple. All you need to do is accept what the Bible says. If the people of

the OT were seeing God, the Almighty God, and Jesus said that no one has ever seen the

Father (John 6:46), then they were seeing God Almighty, but not the Father. It was someone

else in the Godhead. I suggest that they were seeing the Word before He became incarnate.

In other words, they were seeing Jesus.
