In my College World Literature class last week, the teacher mentioned, during our reading of the Old Testament, that no one has ever seen God before. After class, I showed him some references in the Bible that says people have. He asked me to make a list to bring to class today. I decided to post that list here also. While I believe in additional scriptures besides the Bible, I decided to only use references from the Authorized (1611/King James) Version of the Bible.
