Jesus is the Son of God, but yes, people have and will see God:
Genesis 32:30 "And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved."
Jacob saw God face to face, and believe the same can be said for Moses and Isaiah.
and we have this promise in Mathew 5:8:
"Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God."

Jesus is NOT God, But the Son of God, Rev. 3:20 speaks to this last church age we are living in, people & religions have put Jesus on the outside, He stands at a person heart door, knocking & talking to us, He want's to come & abode inside of us as the Holy Ghost

Your right! Jesus is not God, and he never said he was. Jesus is God's son. Jesus made the same choice you will have to make, and he never sinned. That is the difference between you and Jesus. The three bodies of the divine are the father, the son, and the holy spirit, so this also shows the distinction. All three have the same foundation though, but God can not be involved with sin, and that is why he sent Jesus, and that is why he influences you throught the holy spirit. You see, God loves you so much that He is willing to go out of His way to find loopholes in His being! Even though He can not be invoved in our lives directly, He has created a way for us to be saved and for us to join Him in His kingdom.

You are right in that Jesus is not God. He is God's Son--a title that was bestowed upon him because of his perfect immitation of his Father, YHWH. But, your conclusion concerning Revelation proves nothing bacause Rev 1:1 says that this vision was presented to John in signs so it is not necessarily a literal dining experience. It could very well represent the taking of spiritual food and probably does.

Revelation 3:20 is a spiritual message. When He enters, He will not be in human form. He will enter your heart as Holy Spirit.
The door He talks about is not made of wood or metal and you will not see Him in the flesh during your stay on this Earth, at least not until He returns. But that's a whole other subject and He won't be knocking at that point.

You are right Jesus is not God. Jesus is the Son of God.

You are correct that Jesus is not God.
However, please don't base matters on a literal understanding from Revelation.
That book is filled with symbolism.
Jesus does not literally knock at anyone's door.
Do you know how many doors there are in the world?
Still, Jesus is not God.
Thanks for saying that!

you're right..... if you read Matthew 16:16 it says "Jesus is the son of the Living God".

Exactly.
Jesus is the son of the Almight God.
