"no one can then know the Father, unless the Son reveals him?"


(First off, no one can come unto the Son, unless the Father draws him:)


John 6:44 No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day.

  65 And he said, Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father.


(And even more than that, no one can then know the Father, unless the Son reveals him:)


Matthew 11:27 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.


Luke 10:22 All things are delivered to me of my Father: and no man knoweth who the Son is, but the Father; and who the Father is, but the Son, and he to whom the Son will reveal him.


(So, the Father is doubly separated from being known.

Only redeemed, born again, blood washed, children of Adam, can ever really know the Father.

So, whatever understanding lost men have about the Father, must be wrong, they cannot know him.

That is why their artwork displays that they do not know the Father.

Their artwork of the LORD often shows an old man God, sitting in one throne, with a young man God, in his own throne next to him, with a bird God overhead.

[btw - showing one as old and the other young, maybe shows that they believe that the Father came first, and later the Son, like the ancient heresy of Arius.]

[also, ever wonder why so many pictures of Jesus look like some guy from Woodstock?]

No, their pictures of the LORD, too often look more like hinduism, than they could ever possibly portray the LORD of the Bible.)
