Why Do We Call God, Jesus, and The Holy Spirit The Trinity?
Dr. E explains that the Trinity isn’t named in the Bible, but it’s clearly taught—one God, three persons: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
What form is God the Father? If Jesus is the bodily man form, the Spirit is the spirit form, what is God the Father’s? Does He also have a body?

Despite many interactions with the presence of God throughout the Old Testament, Philip’s New Testament interaction with Jesus in John 14:8 gives us the best understanding of the form of God the Father. ‘Lord, show us the Father, and it is enough for us. Jesus said to Him, Have I been so long with you and yet you have not come to know Me, Philip? He who has seen Me has seen the Father.”
