Yes to me God IS confusing. I always think of Him as a spirit, I can't imagine what He looks like so when I think of Him I think of Jesus. In Genesis God's spirit hovered over the earth, was this the Holy spirit or God Himself being of spirit. Then again we are "made in His image". Does this mean He looks human like us? In John 14:7 Jesus said "If you really know me, you will know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him. Whoever has seen me has seen the Father" In John 14: 9-11 Jesus goes on to say in reply to a puzzled Philip “Don’t you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father’?Don’t you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you I do not speak on my own authority. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work.Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the works themselves."
Also, The Holy Spirit is a person but how can a person reside in us?! I have read countless tales of those who have experiences NDE's but I've never heard of anyone claiming to have seen God - only Jesus, yet He sits left of Jesus - doesn't He? I do find the trinity somewhat difficult to understand and the atheist has a field day confronting us with these issues. I know we cannot look at it from a logical human perspective because God is beyond the understanding of our human minds (try telling that to the convicted atheist!) but I would appreciate others' perspective on this subject because I wonder if it's just me that's confused.
