Is seeing Jesus, seeing the Father?

Question:

While going through your list of questions that were already asked I read where someone asked if GOD and JESUS were equal and you said yes that JESUS is GOD. My question is does ths mean that man was looking on the face of GOD when they were face to face with JESUS. I’m very confused.

Answer:

Yes, Jesus is God Almighty, and if people had seen Jesus, then they had seen the Father. John 14:7-9 says, “If ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also: and FROM HENCEFORTH YE KNOW HIM, AND HAVE SEEN HIM. Philip saith unto him, Lord, show us the Father, and it sufficeth us. Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? HE THAT HATH SEEN ME HATH SEEN THE FATHER; and how sayest thou then, Show us the Father?” John 12:44,45 says, “Jesus cried and said, He that believeth on me, believeth not on me, but on him that sent me. And HE THAT SEETH ME SEETH HIM THAT SENT ME.”
