1 John 5:7 KJV For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.

Who is confused, you, or John? Did the Angel tell Mary the eventual Mother of Jesus 'Who' would be upon her and she conceive in her womb? Luke 1:34 And Mary said unto the messenger, ‘How shall this be, seeing a husband I do not know?’ the messenger answering said to her, ‘The Holy Spirit shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee, therefore also the holy-begotten thing shall be called Son of God;

1 John 5:7 is considered by Scholars to be of spurious origin and that it was inserted into the text many years following the actual writing. When older texts have been inspected, that verse is simply not found.

Only problem is that nearly everyone agrees that this verse is an addition to the inspired text. It was put in there later..probably in order to have a definitive statement on the trinity because none existed.

Who the father of Jesus...a person called "holy spirit" or God the father?

Jesus never refers to a person called "the holy spirit" as his father. He understood that his father was God, the father, and the holy spirit was his father's presence in Mary. But the holy spirit isn't another "person".
