No Man Hath Seen God at Any Time. Has a Woman?
Keywords
God, female biblical witnesses
Abstract
Reading the KJV translation of John 1:18, we encounter this puzzling phrase “No man hath seen God at any time”.
Has a woman seen God?
The original Greek of John 1:18 would be more accurately translated as “no one [whether male or female] has seen God at any time”. But the JST clarifies “And no man hath seen God at any time, except he hath borne record of the Son; for except it is through him no man can be saved.” We have plenty of examples of men seeing God.
Still, the English translation “No man hath seen God at any time” encourages us to ask, where in scripture do we have examples of a woman seeing God?
