For a little background, John 14:9 states:

Jesus replied, “Have I been with you all this time, Philip, and yet you still don’t know who I am? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father! So why are you asking me to show him to you?"

Maybe some cross-references might help:

John 1:14
The Word became flesh and made his dwelling among us. We have seen his glory, the glory of the one and only Son, who came from the Father, full of grace and truth.

John 8:19
Then they asked him, "Where is your father?" "You do not know me or my Father," Jesus replied. "If you knew me, you would know my Father also."

John 12:45
The one who looks at me is seeing the one who sent me.

Colossians 1:15
The Son is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation.

Hebrews 1:3
The Son is the radiance of God's glory and the exact representation of his being, sustaining all things by his powerful word. After he had provided purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.

1 John 5:20
We know also that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true. And we are in him who is true by being in his Son Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.

All good points especially Col. 1:15 my bad for not doing more and better research. I suppose the original languages could taken into consideration. But being the image of the invisible God is rather clear.

Since Col. was written by Paul, I'm thinking some Jewish scholars are not to keen on his teachings. I have had a few Jewish folks from back on the AOL chat room days tell me in no uncertain terms their dislike for Paul's epistles.

Pennylinn would be a good person to check for a safe translation.
Thanks for your research.

The Jews are not the deceivers, the Christians are. God appeared to Moses for forty days and nights and commissioned him. According to the NT, Satan appeared to Jesus for forty days and nights and commissioned him. It was not the Jews who killed Jesus, it was the multitudes that followed him. Jesus wanted to be crucified because he thought it would fulfill scripture. It fulfilled nothing. He said, "Take up your cross and follow me". If the Jews had their way, he would've been stoned to death as a false prophet.

Hi Penny. When Jesus died and went to Heaven, his name was changed to Lucifer, and he is Satan's counterfeit messiah. Both he and Satan (Adam the serpent) have been kicked out of heaven. Isaiah 14:12-17 "How art thou fallen from heaven, O Lucifer, son of the morning! How art thou cut down to the ground, which didst weaken the nations: For thou hast said in thine heart, I will ascend into heaven, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God: I will sit also upon the mount of the congregation, in the sides of the north: I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will be like the most High. Yet thou shalt be brought down to hell, to the sides of the pit..."
