Does God The Father look identical To God The Son Jesus Christ!

Yes, for all intents and purposes.

"Philip said to Him, “Lord, show us the Father, and it is sufficient for us.”

Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you so long, and yet you have not known Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father; so how can you say, ‘Show us the Father’? Do you not believe that I am in the Father, and the Father in Me? The words that I speak to you I do not speak on My own authority; but the Father who dwells in Me does the works." John 14:8-10 NKJV

"For unto us a Child is born,
Unto us a Son is given;
And the government will be upon His shoulder.
And His name will be called
Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God,
Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace." Isaiah 9:6 NKJV

That's what I would say ...

I understand that seeing Jesus is seeing the Father, which Jesus has said. But I do not think Jesus means seeing Their personal shapes. He means seeing how our Father and Jesus are, in Their nature.

They are not who They are, because of Their shapes or not having any shape. God is who He is because of how He is.

"But he who is joined to the Lord is one spirit with Him." (1 Corinthians 6:17)

So, if a person becomes adopted by God, now this person is "joined to the Lord" and "one spirit with Him". And God in our spiritual union "with Him" is changing us so more and more we are sharing with God in His own nature so superior to what any created thing is capable of perceiving. Deeper than our physical bodies, God is transforming our nature to be more like His love which is so superior to how any unsaved human or lower being is capable of loving.

And so we can see God, by experiencing how His love in us has our nature becoming and experiencing how He is and feels and loves.

"Now hope does not disappoint, because the love of God has been poured out in our hearts by the Holy Spirit who was given to us." (Romans 5:5)

And this is included in what God means by commanding us to be holy as He is holy; how His almighty power of love in us has us become and love is possibly the main definition of what it is to live holy. And how we become in His love has us seeing Him by being more and more like Him > not merely seeing some form of Him from a distance or by means of theological explanation and imagination. But in us is demonstration >

"for it is God who works in you both to will and to do for His good pleasure." (Philippians 2:13)

So, right in our wills we can see Him by experiencing how He in us is and works.

We have no idea what God looks like ... no one has ever seen Him except Jesus .... Jesus and God are one in character ... Jesus IS God.

Exodus 33:20

But," he said, "you cannot see my face, for no one may see me and live."

one day we will

1 John 3:2

Dear friends, we are already God’s children, but he has not yet shown us what we will be like when Christ appears. But we do know that we will be like him, for we will see him as he really is.

The Father does not have a physical body and cannot be seen, so doesn't look like anything.

"Look like"? There is no such category.

God the Father is everywhere present. Could you see the ocean if you were submerged in it? No, you would need to be lifted up and high above to see the ocean from a distance. And, then, you would only be seeing the surface of the ocean.

We can not see the Father as He is because we can not be distanced from the Father. For, wherever we go? He is always being all around us.

The Son is God's means to reveal Himself to us ...on our terms. As humans.

Back in the 80's I received a letter from a pastor who understood Hebrew and Greek. He pointed out to me that the Greek word used in John 1:18 held a special meaning.


"Has made him known" is referring to what Jesus does concerning God.

The Greek means that Jesus takes something foreign to our nature and then translates and exegetes the Father to us in what I refer to as "human speak."

The amplified Bible goes into more detail and bettrer expresses the Greek intent as shown here...



Jesus, in what He manifests about the Father, can not have the same appearance as the Father. But, instead. Jesus reveals to us all we can ever know, grasp, relate to, and comprehend about God as humans. For we as men can not understand anything beyond what a man can perceive... no matter how spiritual we may become.

All that is to be now understood, and forever to be understood and known about God, including understanding for all never ending eternity.. is right now being manifested in the Son.

He is our God! For He is all the God we could ever know. What is now manifested in Him (fullness of Deity) is without end.

A billion years from now He will still be Our Amazing Adventure.

grace and peace

Is there any reason to think they do or should?

Jesus is the Father being translated into human-speak and actions.

Can you see God?

Or can you only see the Son?

find that answer, and you will have your answer. Can the Father be seen outside of the Son?

Jesus was speaking of them being alike in attributes, character, the intangibles. Not physical at all.

1 Timothy 6:15-17 New King James Version (NKJV)
15 which He will manifest in His own time, He who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings and Lord of lords, 16 who alone has immortality, dwelling in unapproachable light, whom no man has seen or can see, to whom be honor and everlasting power. Amen.

The Son is the Son, precisely because no one can see the Father. That is, unless God makes Himself "see-able."

Not only "see-able." But seen as someone we (as humans) can relate to and identify with.

In other words? If God were a foreign language to us? Jesus Christ is God's translation of Himself into a language we can understand.

Yeah they would look alike but not perfectly identical. The Father would look older and like a father while the son would look like the Father's son.

How can eternal life age? The Father looks older when He is forever being new?

Both share identical Deity. The Son has two natures. Its the second nature that makes Him different from the Father in appearance.

Jesus and the Father are not identical in appearance. Its the very reason the Lord God of Israel had to make himself to be as a man because the Father has no appearance we can perceive.

Can you perceive someone who is everywhere? You would always be inside Him, and could never see Him from the outside.

God the Son had to make Himself be manifested in the appearance of a man.

"Who, being eternally existing in the form of God, did not consider it robbery to be equal with God, but made Himself of no reputation, taking the form of a bond-servant, and coming in the likeness of men. And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross."


Philippians 2:6-8

How does this reconcile with the Scripture, "Not that anyone has seen the Father, except the One who is from God; He has seen the Father" (John 6:46).
and:
"No one has ever seen God, but the one and only Son, who is Himself God and is at the Father's side, has made Him known" (John 1:18).

This means that the Father, being Spirit, is invisible, and, not having a form that anyone can see, we can't say that Jesus and the Father have the same appearance. When Jesus said, "Who has seen Me has seen the Father", He meant that He is the visible representation of the Father, and shares the same nature and character, so that as we know Jesus, we know the Father who sent Him.
