That is the difference and why I testify the way I do: God the Father revealed Himself in four ways: 1) in the Person of Jesus Christ His only begotten Son, 2) in the Person of the indwelling Holy Spirit, 3) in Scripture and 4) in Creation both physical and spiritual.

The Father reveals himself in the Old Testament in his own person. He does not reveal himself in the person of Jesus Christ—the Word (Logos) does! And the Spirit does not reveal himself at all. He is an errand boy who does things for the Father and the Son in the Bible; pretty much a third fiddle.

We are too far apart to even pursue that subject, but for the lurkers:

Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether [they be] thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist. And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all [things] he might have the preeminence. For it pleased [the Father] that in him should all fulness dwell; And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, [I say], whether [they be] things in earth, or things in heaven.– Colossians 1:15-20

Moreover, brethren, I would not that ye should be ignorant, how that all our fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through the sea; And were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and in the sea; And did all eat the same spiritual meat; And did all drink the same spiritual drink: for they drank of that spiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock was Christ. – 1 Cor 10:1-4

God's Name is I AM.
