...and cannot be broken..
who alone possesses immortality and dwells in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen or can see. To Him be honor and eternal dominion! Amen. [1 Timothy 6:16]
"No man hath seen God at any time..." [John 1:18]
and will remain until the heavens are no more that NO MAN here on earth can see God..why? what is the reason? Man will die if he see God...
Exodus 33:20 But He said, "You cannot see My face; for no man shall see Me, and live."
Now why did John declare the begotten Son, though a MAN had seen God?
Does it really mean Jesus had seen God in his being? If he he does, then Jesus will surely die since he is also one of us in Nature, a Man...
John 8:40 "But now you seek to kill Me, a Man who has told you the truth..."
So how could it be possible for Jesus to see God, without him looking at God's being or the entity itself?
John explained what he wrote...
3John 1:11 "...He who does good is of God, but he who does evil has not seen God.
Therefore, one of the requirement for someone to claim or rendered to him the terms: He has seen God, such person were NOT stained with evil, meaning that MAN did not sin or commit any evil.
Did Jesus meet that requirements? Did he commit sin or evil?
1 Peter 2:22 He committed no sin; no guile was found on his lips.
Therefore, Jesus is well qualified to the term: Man [God begotten Son] has seen God because He is sinless, but for those who committed evil and sin, they have not seen God...
3 John 1:11 "...but he who does evil has not seen God.
In conclusion: Jesus is the only one who complied to God's requirements of being Holy at all times.
