Not that any of this matters, really.
He who has not the Son has not the Father, he who has the Son has the Father.
In other words, there is no knowledge of God apart from that found in Christ. The Jews claimed to have known God, and worshipped God, but Jesus said they have not known him, otherwise they would do his works, and acknowledge the One whom God sent.

Actually he did affirm that. They worshiped God in ignorance. That does not mean they knew God nor were correct in their views of God
