Is it possible to see the Face of the Father?
Mat 18:10 “See that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I tell you that their angels in heaven continually see the face of My Father in heaven.
1Co 13:12 For now we see in a mirror dimly,
but then face to face.
Now I know in part,
but then I will know fully,
even as I have been fully known.
How do you explain this given that no one can see the Face of the Father: Exo 33:20; Joh 1:18; Joh 5:37; Joh 6:46; 1Ti 6:16; 1Jo 4:12?
And the Lord Jesus implied that He is the Face of the Father:
Joh 14:8 Philip said to him, “Lord, show us the Father, and we will be satisfied.” 9 Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you all this time, Philip, and you still do not know me? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?
Does Mat 18:18 mean that angels see Christ, God the Son, in heaven?
I think there is disagreement between RC and EO where the former believe that angels and saints in paradise see the Face of the Father and the latter believe they see Jesus. Am I correct?
How do you interpret Mat 18:10 and 1Co 13:12?
