If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.
For Christians above all men are forbidden to correct the stumblings of sinners by force…it is necessary to make a man better not by force but by persuasion. We neither have authority granted us by law to restrain sinners, nor, if it were, should we know how to use it, since God gives the crown to those who are kept from evil, not by force, but by choice.John Chrysostom, On the Priesthood, Book II
Philip saith unto him, Lord, show us the Father, and it sufficeth us.John 14:8 KJV
Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.John 14:6 KJV
