God is INVISIBLE
but when the INVISIBLE GOD wants to be with His Creation like human, the INVISIBLE GOD comes as human.
it's a function of the framework in God and Who He is.

I am asking you how the text reads. You are asking me a question that I don't know the answer to without scripture. I just accept the scripture, not my own opinion. I don't have an opinion.

I don't have it before me, but clearly Abraham saw not just 1 figure, but 3.

he has been taught.
see what he believes.
God fathered Jesus
but even though God fathered Jesus, in his view, it does not make Him God, only human.

He ain't never going to believe Jesus is God with how everyone tossed Scripture at him.

you got to get him to the roots and dig em up and plant the good seed afterward.

I am not sure what you are saying. I believe that Jesus is human and the Son of God.

before you can understand Verse 5, you need to know Verse 4:

4 I glorified you on earth, having accomplished the work that you gave me to do. 5 And now, Father, glorify me in your own presence with the glory that I had with you before the world existed.

it's a partnership.
Jesus, Glorified the Father on Earth, now it is the Father's turn to Glorify Jesus back to His Original Place when He returns back to Heaven.

you really twisted this Verse 5 way out of context.
