Part I: Questions about God, Man, and Sin

11. Q. Can you see God?
      A. No. I cannot see God, but he always sees me  Hb 4:12, 13).

(Click through to read scriptural proofs.)

But,” he said, “you cannot see my face, for man shall not see me and live.”

No one has ever seen God; the only God,  who is at the Father’s side, he has made him known.

who alone has immortality, who dwells in unapproachable light, whom no one has ever seen or can see. To him be honor and eternal dominion. Amen.

O Lord, you have searched me and known me!
You know when I sit down and when I rise up;
you discern my thoughts from afar.
You search out my path and my lying down
and are acquainted with all my ways.
Even before a word is on my tongue,
behold, O Lord, you know it altogether.
You hem me in, behind and before,
and lay your hand upon me.

For a man’s ways are before the eyes of the Lord,
and he ponders all his paths.

For the word of God is living and active, sharper than any two-edged sword, piercing to the division of soul and of spirit, of joints and of marrow, and discerning the thoughts and intentions of the heart. And no creature is hidden from his sight, but all are naked and exposed to the eyes of him to whom we must give account.
