The Holy Ghost is back on the scene.

What does it take to get the Ghost to come out again?

Jehovah's Witnesses!

Has anyone, as an eyewitness, ever seen Father Jehovah?

Exodus 33:18-20

Then Moses said, “Now show me your glory.”

And the Lord said, “I will cause all my goodness to pass in front of you, and I will proclaim my name, the Lord, in your presence. I will have mercy on whom I will have mercy, and I will have compassion on whom I will have compassion. But,” he said, “you cannot see MY FACE, for no one may see me and live.”

"No one has seen the Father except the one who is from God; only he has seen the Father." ---- John 6:46

John 6: 38-42

For I have come down from heaven not to do my will but to do the will of him who sent me. And this is the will of him who sent me, that I shall lose none of all those he has given me, but raise them up at the last day. For my Father’s will is that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in him shall have eternal life, and I will raise them up at the last day.”

At this the Jews there began to grumble about him because he said, “I am the bread that came down from heaven.” They said, “Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph, whose father and mother we know? How can he now say, ‘I came down from heaven’?”

Is not God Omnipresent? Therefore we must look for his Face on every street. Perhaps He will be disguised as one of those homeless faces on a busy intersection, holding up a sign which may say, "Hungry and out of work."

This is, perhaps, one of your best posts.

I maintain that, despite those parsing scripture and claiming that "no one" has seen the Father and lived, and Jesus himself saying (paraphrased) "You have seen me, how can you say no one has seen the Father?", many of us who look on "the least of my brothers" HAS seen the Father, and that, since we have been made in the image of God, we have ALL seen the Father. Many simply do not recognize Him.

Thank you for considering this thread one of my best. However, the best is yet to come, if it comes at all.

According to Jesus' own words, if we can interpret them correctly, we haven't seen the face of the Father. What Jesus was attempting to convey is the state of mind. He and the Father are of one mind.

No.

While Jesus did speak in parables, or a variation on "let me tell you a story", much of what he said was literal. I assure you that he didn't spend his days thinking about how he was going to teach his disciples without being direct with them. Everything he said was clear to those with faith.

Clear? You say: "Everything he said was clear to those with faith."

Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip?

Faith and clearness, literally? You are kidding, right?

Then the disciples came to Jesus privately and said, “Why could we not cast it out?” So Jesus said to them, “Because of your unbelief; for assur ...[text shortened]... learly understand how to move a mountain with words?

Once the Lord has pulled the wool over the sheep's eyes, who is able to lift it?

@KellyJay said
Thing is God speaks truth and we only occasionally recognize it, so we think the issue is with God, not us.

@PettyTalk said
That God speaks the truth is the wool over your eyes.

That God does not exist is the wool over the eyes of atheists.

The truth is that we are all sheep, and the last will be first, and the first last to have the wool removed.
