Jesus' Father was that Spirit:
And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God. Luke 1:35, KJV
Christ, therefore, was the one God the Spirit in the flesh. Since God is an invisible Spirit, the only way Phillip could see the Father was to see Him in Christ.
Col. 1:15 agrees, it says Christ "Is the image of the invisible God."
Oneness Pentecostals do not believe the Father is an old grey bearded man. Don't know if you believe Him in that fashion, but I've got an old Baltimore Catachism with pictures of Him as just that. Seeing him that way would account for your explanation.
Thank you for your opinion.
I’ve always known that portraying God as “an Ancient of Days” as He is described in Daniel was an artistic liberty taken in order to faintly display an awesome reality. I have never, nor will you ever find an observant Catholic reducing the Reality to a painted image.
UPC’ers are in grave error regarding the Triune nature of God. They are Sabellians and Patripassians. I don’t consider their views as truthful.
