Only if it is disclosed by the son, Christ
Mat 11:27
παντα μοι παρεδοθη υπο του πατρος μου και ουδεις επιγινωσκει τον υιον ει μη ο πατηρ ουδε τον πατερα τις επιγινωσκει ει μη ο υιος και ω εαν βουληται ο υιος αποκαλυψαι
Mat 11:27All things are delivered unto me of my Father: and no one knows the Son, except the Father; nor does any one know the Father, except the Son, andunless
the Son be willing to disclose
Logical Transformation: If anyone knows the Son then it is the Father and if anyone knows the Father then it is the Son and anyone to whom the Son is willing to disclose him.
Several scholars recognize the tension and argue that it is a deep, intimate knowledge between the Father and the Son that is exclusive. While this is close to the point, it still suffers from the assumption that eij mhv must mean except. See Leon Morris, The Gospel according to Matthew, Pillar Commentary (Grand Rapids: Eerdmans, 1992), 293-94;
Joh 14:6 Jesus said to him, I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father, if not through me.
Logical Transformation: If any one comes to the Father, he comes to the Father through me.Very good, however one Correction, that "on account of him" God made the universe and all life in it.
Hence, there is no "inscrutable mystery of the trinity", for Jehovah God is the Father, with Jesus Christ as his "only-begotten Son" and the holy spirit is God's active force (Isa 44:3; Acts 1:8) with which he used to create "all things", including Jesus.(Rev 3:14)[/quote]
At 1 Corinthians 8:6, the apostle Paul used the Greek words
di hou concerning God, meaning "through whom" rather than
di touto (literally "through this") that has the meaning of "on account of " as at Matthew 6:25. When the Greek word
di is followed by a genitive word, such as
autou (meaning "him"), it means "through him", as at 1 Corinthians 8:6 b concerning Jesus Christ.
At John 1, the apostle John used
di autou at verses 3, 7 and 10 and is rendered as "through him" by the
Scripture4all interlinear, as well as by the
Emphatic Diaglott, as well as by the Greek master text
The New Testament in the Original Greek by scholars Westcott and Hort.
At 1 Corinthians 8:6, the

di hou as "through whom", and and
di autou as "through him", not as "on account of ".
According the
Thayer's Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament, it says that if
di (
dia lemma or base word) is followed by a genitive word, it is rendered as "through" (pg 132), as at Matthew 7:13 and 12:43, but if followed by a word in the accusative, it means "by reason of, because of "(pg 134) and has been rendered as "on account of " or "by means of " (
New World Translation) or "by whom" (
King James Bible) as at Matthew 12:27.
