You really lack understanding: ... why the need of the Holy Spirit? If God is everywhere and can be all things, why the need of the Spirit? Thats because the Spirit is God and without it God cannot be God... hence we have the Father, Son(not talking about the Son) and Holy Spirit. It is the Spirit that Goes every where, that's why Jesus couldn't stay on the Earth because He will be limited, but with the Holy Spirit He will be every where at all times, that's the power of the Godhead.. As Apostle Paul said in 1 Cor 15:40 that there're bodies Celestial and bodies terrestrial. There's a natural body and a spiritual body. Even John Saw the Father on His throne in revelation same as Ezekiel and other prophets.. Ezekiel saw a visible because no man sees God physically and lives.. the book of Enoch is a very Good source but you catholics removed it from the canons.. Well we have it and it's amazing...
NOT sure what you mean by “not talking about the Son” above in RED – but you seem to be ALL over the place here.

You’re responding to a FIVE year-old post, wherein I was arguing against the idiotic and anti-Biblical idea that God has a “shape” and that’s why we look the way we do. He doesn’t (John 4:24).

As for the Holy Spirit – He is the Third Person in the Triune Godhead.
You ask, “Wy the need for the Holy Spirit?"
What concern is that of YOURS? That is God’s business – and if ALL 3 Persons of the Trinity were purely Spirit – that’s HIS prerogative.

It is stated numerous times that "God is an all consuming fire" and many believers will take that literally. But when Ezekiel describes his actual appearance as basically a consuming fire in the form of a man sitting on a throne, they will do a complete 180 and claim its not literal.

Which one is it, is God like an all consuming fire with a tangible form or not??
What does Genesis 1:26-27 reveal about God's Image Likeness? Early on, He reveals His outward appearance in the Heavenly, in the very 1st chapter of the Bible!
