I'm sorry James, I don't believe in the Trinity.
The only true God is the Father.
My Lord Jesus is the Son and was sent
John 17:3,1 New International Version (NIV)
Now this is eternal life: that they know you, the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom you have sent.
After Jesus said this, he looked toward heaven and prayed:
“Father, the hour has come. Glorify your Son, that your Son may glorify you.
My Lord Jesus was very clear in his words during his time here on Earth. He looked up toward heaven and and prayed to the Father.
He said this is eternal life - to know you [the Father], the only true God. What is the word "only" - doesn't it mean - exclusivity? If people refuse to believe that the only true God is the Father, would they have eternal life? I believe, my Lord Jesus is clear with that.
Accordingly, my Lord Jesus said the Father [who is the only true God] sent him on Earth. This is the thing that people missed - they believe in the Trinity but my Lord Jesus left his words who is God and who isn't.
I guess I'm not feeling that you're listening to me and answering my question of who the artist is and when was the painting done. There is no explanation, but it's your evidence that God is invisible, period. There is no further explanation. It doesn't give me the warm fuzzies that you are one who seeks the truth, but instead just wants to explain their beliefs. That's fine. Just so we understand, those are your beliefs and not that of the majority. It's just like you do not believe in The Trinity.
When I said God was anthropomorphic, even the voice (I assume Hebrew) gives clues to being human. Is it male or female? Is it high pitch or low pitch? I suppose it could be a different language if God the Father was talking to someone from a different country, i.e. post Tower of Babel. Thus, it follows that God is anthropomorphic as described in the Bible. If God wasn't anthropomorphic, then it could be an animal's bark or roar. Maybe an alien with strange sounds. Or it could be telepathic. All of the latter is not described at all in the Bible. What is described is God has human traits such as face, hands, ears and so on. Thus, he can be represented as Semetic or other representations such as dark skinned and short curly hair. Art from ancient times show us that.
