John 1 : "No man has seen God. . . . "




John 1:18  No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.

Clearly there are doctrinal problems with this text.  Joseph Smith recognized that and he made changes in his Inspired Version: 

Joseph Smith Translation of John 1:19 And no man hath seen God at any time, except he hath borne record of the Son; for except it is through him no man can be saved.

This gives you an opportunity to introduce your kids to the JST.  Have them check the footnotes regularly for JST notations.  

The First Vision is a great example of what the Father generally does when He appears to us : He introduces His Son.  Here is a fun movable handout for kids to make.  Just follow the instructions (below) and reinforce the hole where the string goes through the page or the string will cut through the paper like butter.
