The Impossibility of Knowing God Without Knowing Jesus Christ

If you believe that Jesus was not God in the flesh, then you can't be a Christian. That really is that simple. It's impossible to know God without knowing Jesus Christ as he's revealed in the scriptures. So it's also important to note here again that this is one of the reasons that the church very, very early on is putting together creeds that will teach what Jesus taught and that eventually gospels too.
