Do you believe that "Jesus is God"? The scripture says that no man, (literally no one), has either seen or beheld God at any time, (using two different words for "see" and "beheld" in two different places). You therefore do not understand what it means to "see" according to the scripture and the Testimony of Messiah: and no doubt that is because you call the Testimony of the Master, "nonsense".
John 1:18a ASV
18a No man hath seen [εωρακεν] God at any time;
1 John 4:12a ASV
12a No man hath beheld [τεθεαται] God at any time:
Moreover the word employed for "see" in Revelation 1:7 is οψεται.
Revelation 1:7 W/H
7 ιδου ερχεται μετα των νεφελων και οψεται αυτον πας οφθαλμος και οιτινες αυτον εξεκεντησαν και κοψονται επ αυτον πασαι αι φυλαι της γης ναι αμην
Moreover the Master explains the different meanings of these words in passages like John 14:7-9, and those meanings are not the same as what your favorite scholars have gleaned from other ancient Greek pagan writers in their studies, (the usages are not always the same but if you believe the Testimony of the Master and his usage of the words you will not go astray like your favorite scholars).
John 14:7-9 ASV
7 If ye had known me, ye would have known my Father also: from henceforth ye know him, and have seen him.
8 Philip saith unto him, Lord, show us the Father, and it sufficeth us.
9 Jesus saith unto him, Have I been so long time with you, and dost thou not know me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; how sayest thou, Show us the Father?
And John 14:19-23:
John 14:19-23 ASV
19 Yet a little while, and the world beholdeth me no more; but ye behold me: because I live, ye shall live also.
20 In that day ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in you.
21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself unto him.
22 Judas (not Iscariot) saith unto him, Lord, what is come to pass that thou wilt manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?
23 Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me, he will keep my word: and my Father will love him, and we will come unto him, and make our abode with him.
And John 16:16-23:
John 16:16-23 ASV
16 A little while, and ye behold me no more; and again a little while, and ye shall see me.
17 Some of his disciples therefore said one to another, What is this that he saith unto us, A little while, and ye behold me not; and again a little while, and ye shall see me: and, Because I go to the Father?
18 They said therefore, What is this that he saith, A little while? We know not what he saith.
19 Jesus perceived that they were desirous to ask him, and he said unto them, Do ye inquire among yourselves concerning this, that I said, A little while, and ye behold me not, and again a little while, and ye shall see me?
20 Verily, verily, I say unto you, that ye shall weep and lament, but the world shall rejoice: ye shall be sorrowful, but your sorrow shall be turned into joy.
21 A woman when she is in travail hath sorrow, because her hour is come: but when she is delivered of the child, she remembereth no more the anguish, for the joy that a man is born into the world.
22 And ye therefore now have sorrow: but I will see you again, and your heart shall rejoice, and your joy no one taketh away from you.
23 And in that day ye shall ask me no question. Verily, verily, I say unto you, if ye shall ask anything of the Father, he will give it you in my name.
But again, you must put all of these statements together for your doctrine to be correct, and none of them will contradict if your doctrine is correct:
John 1:18a ASV
18a No man hath seen [εωρακεν] God at any time;
1 John 4:12a ASV
12a No man hath beheld [τεθεαται] God at any time:
This is all "nonsense" only to those who do not love the Word, because they are of the world, and can neither see the Master nor the Father.
