It surely depends on who the man is who tells you what Jesus Christ is like and Who He is. The apostle Paul preached Jesus:
“1 ¶ And I, brethren, when I came to you, did not come with excellence of speech or of wisdom declaring to you the testimony of God. 2 For I determined not to know anything among you except Jesus Christ and Him crucified. 3 I was with you in weakness, in fear, and in much trembling. 4 And my speech and my preaching [were] not with persuasive words of human wisdom, but in demonstration of the Spirit and of power,” (1Co 2:1-4 NKJV)
Godly, faithful Christian preachers similarly preach the Saviour. Preaching is God's normal way of imparting knowledge about Christ:
“For since, in the wisdom of God, the world through wisdom did not know God, it pleased God through the foolishness of the message preached to save those who believe.” (1Co 1:21 NKJV)
I'll do so briefly, because it isn't really the topic of this thread:
I had been brought up from infancy to "go to church", but the church I went to did not preach the gospel. Nobody ever told me that I was a sinner and needed a Saviour. I was given the impression that I was a Christian already. In my late teens, a school friend who was a genuine Christian told me that I needed to believe on the Lord Jesus Christ to be saved. I started reading the bible, which I found said the same thing. By God's grace, I did believe on the Lord Jesus Christ. That was over 50 years ago now.
This is the basis if your recognition to Jesus Christ is a revelation from the Father.
You can recognize and identify God the Father. Once you recognize God the Father, he will reveal to you the answer on this thread.
JOHN 8:19
19 Then said they unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also.
Can you identify who God the Father is?
I have already quoted this verse identifying God the Father:
“4 ¶ Therefore concerning the eating of things offered to idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is no other God but one. 5 For even if there are so-called gods, whether in heaven or on earth (as there are many gods and many lords), 6 yet for us there is one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we for Him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, through whom are all things, and through whom we live.” (1Co 8:4-6 NKJV)
That verse tells us that all things come from God the Father. It is the Father's will that sinners should be saved through His Son Jesus Christ:
“3 Grace to you and peace from God the Father and our Lord Jesus Christ, 4 who gave Himself for our sins, that He might deliver us from this present evil age, according to the will of our God and Father,” (Ga 1:3-4 NKJV)
It is the Father Who saves sinners through His Son, giving them new life:
“Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who according to His abundant mercy has begotten us again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead,” (1Pe 1:3 NKJV)
You might want to check the context of that verse. That’s how God teaches the stubborn and rebellious.
When God created man.?...
Gen 1:27-30
27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them. 28 And God blessed them, and God said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth, and subdue it: and have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over every living thing that moveth upon the earth. 29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat. 30 And to every beast of the earth, and to every fowl of the air, and to every thing that creepeth upon the earth, wherein there is life, I have given every green herb for meat: and it was so.
Gen 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul.
God literally made man out of the physical components and we were perfectly made with everything needed to be Spiritual, emotional and physical beings. The whole body was ready to recieve life. And God breathed life into Adam.
The physical body and the breath of life = a living soul.
Please don't let the twisted understandings of Soul and spirit come into the simple truth.

The word Father is not the identification of God the Father.
Without quoting any verse.
Can you ID who God the Father is?
World hx. is just that, worldly. Mark and avoid it. The Bible is truth and will teach you everything you need to know. The Word of God is ALIVE and the very breath of God.
The Bible is truth and will teach you everything you need to know.
This is correct. The problem is those who are believing and reading the Holy Bible are just picking up those verses that they could understand and they are avoiding other verses which they couldn't understand.
Since the Word was God (John 1:1) then we must accept and believe every word that is written in the book. Because God is representing by his words.
Neglecting 1 word in the book is neglecting God.
When God created Man. God the Father is a Spirit God and what he is doing is a Spiritually works.
Don’t confuse the book with the Person. They are related, not ine and the same thing.
That’s exaggerating. Remember that we are reading translations, not the original-language text. Hebrew and Greek are very different from English and can be translated different ways without being “wrong”.
I guess you need to do a word study on the word, Word.
That excuse doesn't work any more. They have free online concordances which give you the original language and all the different ways the word can be used. Many times an alternate definition fits better and makes more sense than the way the translators translated it.
You can even go online and read (pictures) of the actual dead sea scrolls.

Think about Word, has (at least) two different definitions. Logos, which is the written word, scriptures. And Rhema, the spoken word spoken by God. And scriptures also names Jesus as, the Word. So it's deeper than you may think.
By knowing God the Father, he will reveal the truth about this thread.
Because whoever knows who God the Father is, his sins is forgiven.
JEREMIAH 31:34
34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the Lord: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.
How can we recognize God the Father since he is a Spirit God?
It is thru knowing the real Jesus.
To know the real Jesus recognize by the Apostles is to know who God the Father is.
JOHN 8:19
19 Then said they unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also.
By reading the Word that is where He (Emmanuel) reveals the truth. His very breathe, the Word of God. Our bread of life.
Every denomination in Christianity today is not just reading the words of God. They also study the words of God for 5 to 10 years.
Since there is no guidance of the Holy Spirit as teacher (1 John 2:27).
After a long study God the Father remain a mystery.
God the Father always tell the Truth.
According to him he is not a mystery.
In fact everybody could know him.
JEREMIAH 31:34
34 And they shall teach no more every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for they shall all know me, from the least of them unto the greatest of them, saith the Lord: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin no more.
For God the Father since Jeremiah 31:34 is so important. For him writing it once is not enough.
So Our Lord Jesus taught this to his Apostles and Paul wrote it again.
HEBREWS 8:11
11 And they shall not teach every man his neighbour, and every man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for all shall know me, from the least to the greatest.
God the Father will reveal the Truth if the creation is in literal physical or in spiritual to those people who can identify him.
Because God the Father whose is the one giving understanding to the people who know him.
PROVERBS 2:6
6 For the Lord giveth wisdom: out of his mouth cometh knowledge and understanding.
Sorry, I don't understand why you say that every denomination studies the words of God for5 to 10 years. Which denominations say that their people must study God's words for a set period of time?
It is too great a generalisation to say that no denominations have guidance from the Holy Spirit, or that God the Father remains a mystery to every denomination.
I think he is referring to pastors who get degrees, but his grasp of English is rudimentary.
Every time I ask a religious leaders to identify who God the Father is. Their answers is always God is a mystery.
They don't know him while God the Father himself said in Jeremiah 31:34 every man could know him.
What is the use of getting study for 5 to 10 years and yet God the Father remains mystery?
