Also, referring to your comment about Stephen's martyrdom, did Stephen really see the Father? He who dwells in unapproachable light was seen by Stephen? But John said "no man has ever seen God." (1.18) And Stephen saw what Moses and all mankind have never seen? Perhaps Stephen saw the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ standing by the throne? (II Cor 4.6)

You know, Ohio, it seems I did read that before, but I recall also reading Jesus' explaination in the rest of the chapter, and it seems he sets the record straight concerning His God and Fathe, and the relation between them..
