We all shall, good or evil. Those who arise in one of the lesser resurrections shall see him only once, when they are judged. Those who arise in the Celestial ("heavenly") resurrection shall live with him forever.

It's amazing how many conflicting and even contradictory statements you've received! Many comments show that people still believe that Jesus is God. But is that true? Notice what Jesus said about the truth - John 17:17 - Sanctify them by means of the truth; your word is truth. - - - - So, Jesus tells us that God's word IS the truth. And it's interesting to note that NOWHERE in God's word of truth did Jesus EVER claim to be God! In fact, in many places, he identifies himself as God's Son. Here is one - John 10:36 - do you say to me whom the Father sanctified and sent into the world, ‘You blaspheme,’ because I said, ‘I am God’s Son’? - - - - The context of that passage indicates that it was the religious leaders that were accusing him of indicating that he was equal to God. He clarified matters in that verse. And that also goes along with what Jesus told Mary after he was resurrected, but before he had ascended to heaven - John 20:17 -
Jesus said to her: “Stop clinging to me, for I have not yet ascended to the Father. But go to my brothers and say to them, ‘I am ascending to my Father and your Father and to my God and your God.’” - - - - Now how could that Scripture make sense if Jesus was God? The trinity is so confusing that many religious leaders just say that it is a mystery. And people can't get to know him. However, that statement is contradictory to God's word of truth, also. Because God wants people to have accurate knowledge about him - 1 Timothy 2:4 – whose (God’s) will is that all sorts of people should be saved and come to an accurate knowledge of truth. - - - - And notice what Jesus says about coming to know God - John 17:3 - This means everlasting life, their coming to know you, the only true God, and the one whom you sent, Jesus Christ. - - - - So the fact is that in order for a person to gain everlasting life, they must come to know BOTH, Christ and his Father, God. So, WHY so many different teachings about God and Christ? God's word of truth tells us who is responsible for all the confusion - 2 Corinthians 11:13-15 – 13 For such men are false apostles, deceitful workers, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. 14 And no wonder, for Satan himself keeps disguising himself as an angel of light. 15 It is therefore nothing extraordinary if his ministers also keep disguising themselves as ministers of righteousness. But their end will be according to their works. - - - - That passage also tells the outcome of both the teachers, and the people that accept the teachings. When a person believes what they hear from these false teachers, then they end up twisting the Scriptures themselves, because of what they've been taught - 2 Peter 3:16. . . and these things the ignorant and unstable are twisting, as they do also the rest of the Scriptures, to their own destruction. - - - - Many may not even realize that they are twisting the Scriptures. But that is why it is so IMPORTANT to follow this Biblical example in God's word of truth - Acts 17:11 . . . carefully examining the Scriptures daily to see whether these things were so. - - - - Since God's word IS the truth, it cannot be contradictory. For example, either God is a trinity, or He is not. Both cannot be true. So, if we examine the Scriptures carefully, we can make sure we get the accurate knowledge that God wants us to have. There is no greater treasure to be found. Bible truth liberates us from superstition, confusion, and morbid fear. It gives us hope, purpose, and joy. Jesus said: “You will know the truth, and the truth will set you free.”—John 8:32. - - - - Yes, Jesus assures us that we can KNOW the truth. And that truth sets us free from all sorts of false religious teachings. And since God wants us to have accurate knowledge, we can also approach him in prayer and ask for his help to make sure we are not misled - Psalm 65:2 - O Hearer of prayer, to you people of all sorts will come. - - - - Since God wants us to have accurate knowledge, it is only reasonable to believe that he will answer such prayers. - - - - With these things in mind, I invite everyone to visit the following web site where free Bible lessons are offered online. But ALWAYS pray to God and ask for his help. And then examine the Scriptures carefully, to make sure you are indeed getting the accurate knowledge that God wants you to have. Because again, the truth cannot be contradictory. The web site is:

People saw Jesus Christ when He walked this Earth.
Why do you suppose they will not see Him in the New Earth?
?
Yes, absolutely we will. God is a Spirit (John 4:24) and we are made in God's image - that means we are a spirit INSIDE. When our body dies, it does into the ground to rot and our spirit leaves our body and returns to God who gave it. (Ecclesiastes 12:7).
That's the hope of the Church to be resurrected just as Jesus Christ was, and we will go to heaven and live with the Lord for eternity.
