John 15: 7 If you remain in me and my words remain in you, ask for whatever you want and it will be done for you. 8 By this is my Father glorified, that you bear much fruit and become my disciples. 9 As the Father loves me, so I also love you. Remain in my love. 10 If you keep my commandments, you will remain in my love, just as I have kept my Father's commandments and remain in his love. 11 "I have told you this so that my joy may be in you and your joy may be complete. 12 This is my commandment: love one another as I love you.

This is an icon of God.

This is not.

This is an icon of God.

If that is an icon of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, then it is much closer to the Mormon understanding of God than the Biblical understanding.

Since when does the Father have a body of flesh and bones?

And since the Father is probably the guy with the grey hair, is it your understanding that the Father is older than the Son? Because that is the idea represented in that image.

Is the Father aging or was He always a grey haired old man?

And who is the little icon face in the middle?

Are there four members of the Trinity?

Did the Church sanction that image? Is that an "official" icon?
