**Quite often in the Bible, Jesus, in front of his apostles, referred to God, the Father.**

You mean like here:

“Philip saith unto him, Lord, shew us the Father, and it sufficeth us. Jesus saith unto him, Have I been SO LONG WITH YOU, and yet HAST THOU NOT KNOWN ME, Philip? he that hath seen me HATH seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Shew us the Father? Believest thou NOT that I am IN the Father, and the Father IN me? the words I speak unto you I speak NOT of myself: but the Father that DWELLETH IN ME, HE doeth the works.” Jn 14:8-10

The Son IS the flesh and bones THAT the Father DWELLS in.

God the Father is a Spirit (John 4:24).

Jesus Christ declared that the Father was in him doing the works, giving him the words to speak:

John 10:38 “But if I do, though ye believe not me, believe the works: that ye may know, and believe, that the Father is IN me, and I IN him.

**Or are you denying the divinity of Jesus Christ?**

Are you denying that Jesus Christ is in the Father and the Father is in him, literally? Because the Son makes it very clear that God the Father is omnipresent. That’s the divinity that made Jesus Christ, and dwells in him. The book of John drives that point home quite well.

The natural man’s concept, of a physical man and woman being the means of making another person, is not the method of the Spirit. God the Father is invisible, but has made himself visible in the man Jesus Christ, who is the man that he made. And that is what Jesus Christ and his apostles teach in the Bible.
