Can a person living in the Church Age (today)...
1.) know the Father but not know the Son?
2.) know the Father but not be saved?
3.) know the Father yet not be a Christian?
The above questions are not meant to be "trick questions, but if you think they are, then please elaborate and tell why.
“know the Father but not know the Son?”
“All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and
no man knoweth the Son, but the Father; neither knoweth any man the Father, save the Son, and he to whomsoever the Son will reveal him.”
Matthew 11:27
“Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God.
He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son.”
2 John 1:9
“Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me. Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father? Believest thou not that I am in the Father, and the Father in me? the words that I speak unto you I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth in me, he doeth the works.”
John 14:6, 9-10 KJV
“No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.”
John 1:
“And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent. I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do. And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.”
John 17:3-5 KJV
“And this is the record, that God hath given to us eternal life, and this life is in his Son. He that hath the Son hath life; and he that hath not the Son of God hath not life. And we know that the Son of God is come, and hath given us an understanding, that we may know him that is true, and we are in him that is true, even in his Son Jesus Christ. This is the true God, and eternal life.”
1 John 5:11-12, 20 KJV
without the gospel that reveals jesus , we could never see what God the father is like and could never receive his spirit
a they are one message about one God the father and son can’t be seperated of you know the son you’ve met and know the father
a Jesus is the central figure of the Bible he is where the
father , indwells the
son with his life giving
spirit and faith in him is how the children of God are born and receive the spirit I’d say no father and son aren’t seperable
just my opinion thought god bless brother
