Now, MD your mind is quite grand enough to wrap itself around the fact that
All the statements about Christ being the image of the FATHER
AND
viewing the face of THE FATHER is an extremely rare thing
ARE
BOTH VERY, VERY, VERY TRUE.
Playing word games with it doesn't change the facts--Scripturally or experientially.
Viewing the FACE OF ALMIGHTY FATHER GOD IS EXTREMELY RARELY ALLOWED. That's just a fact. It's a pretty well known fact in Scripture and a fairly well known fact experientially.
Even folks who God to Heaven and return to tell about it very rarely see the face of Father God and never can describe it when they do. Most just see an almost blinding light.
Yet they may chat eye to eye with Jesus extensively.
THERE IS A DIFFERENCE. Pretending there is NO difference is not true to Scripture nor experience.
Seriously, don't tell me what I know. I never heard of anyone seeing the Father. Not saying it didn't happen, but if it did, there goes the classical Doctrine of the Trinity.
btw, I don't play word games, or at least when I do it's for fun, not for business.
