Not metaphorical, else we have a metaphorical relationship exemplified, which would lead to a metaphorical relationship with His Son for us as well, leading to a metaphorical salvation from sin, right? Where would it end? No Bible text explains a metaphor in that title of Father, or Son.

Bullet Points of God the Father, His Son, and His SpiritRwD2025-08-20T11:54:24-07:00
Here are a few studies on the angels, and there may be more to come. =)
“In the Word of God are represented two contending parties that influence and control human agencies in our world. Constantly these parties are working with every human being. Those who are under God’s control and who are influenced by the heavenly angels will be able to discern the crafty workings of the unseenpowers of darkness. Those who desire to be in harmony with the heavenly agencies should be intensely in earnest to do God’s will. They must give no place whatever to Satan and his angels.” 18LtMs, Ms 95, 1903, par. 9

A document with the heading, “MAIN PROBLEMS WITH ANGELS/HS DOCTRINE” was sent to me while I was in Ethiopia. I was finishing a series of meeting with a group of believers there, so on the way home (during times of thought in the long flights and layovers), I decided to respond to it. The document was full of assumptions and accusations of what I have taught from the Bible. I was surprised at the conclusions, so am happy to layout a more correct view in light of the assertions.
1 Corinthians 12:1 Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant.
Remember that the angels are called spirits, sent to minister to the heirs of salvation: Hebrew 1:7, 14.
1 Corinthians 12:2 Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led.
1 Corinthians 12:3 Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed: and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost.
If you speak otherwise, you have the other spirit (only two available—more later).
Revelation 1:3 Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written therein: for the time is at hand.
Voice of a Trumpet
Revelation 1:10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, andheard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet,
Revelation 1:12 And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks;
Revelation 1:13 And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man…
Revelation 4:1 After this I looked, and, behold, a door was opened in heaven: and […]
Zechariah 12:10 And I will pour upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace and of supplications: and they shall look upon me whom they have pierced, and they shall mourn for him, as one mourneth for his only son, and shall be in bitterness for him, as one that is in bitterness for his firstborn.
Luke 2:40 And the child grew, and waxed strong in spirit, filled with wisdom: and the grace of God was upon him.

Colossians 1:26-27 Even the mystery which hath been hid from ages and from generations, but now is made manifest to his saints:
27 To whom God would make known what is the riches of the glory […]
Jesus in the Sanctuary Above and the Church on EarthRwD2023-12-30T08:07:24-08:00
All through the Old Testament it appears in the words of the prophets that God the Father was mingling with men. Yet since the prophets of the New Testament added their inspired commentary, it doesn’t seem that it was so:
John 1:18No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.
John 5:37 And the Father himself, which hath sent me, hath borne witness of me. Ye have neither heard his voice at any time, nor seen his shape.
John 6:46Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father.
Genesis 1:2 And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
Genesis 6:3 And the LORD said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.
Genesis 41:8 And it came to pass in the morning that his […]
Every use of the phrase “my spirit” in the following verses can be understood as referring to the life or words, which come from the mind of God. Selected verses are used, as there are others in the King James Bible, from which the following verses are taken.

Exodus 25:17 And thou shalt make a mercy seat of pure gold: two cubits and a half shall be the length thereof, and a cubit and a half the breadth thereof.
Exodus 25:18 And thou shalt make two cherubims of gold, of beaten work shalt thou make them, in the two ends of the mercy seat.

Exodus 25:20 And the cherubims shall stretch forth their wings on high, covering the mercy seat with their wings, and their faces shall look one to another; toward the mercy seat shall the […]
The Sanctuary, the Cross, and the Third Angels` MessageRwD2022-12-13T06:19:49-08:00
Who is this ‘third person’ we’ve heard so much about, and can we find that phrase in the Bible?
No, that phrase is not found in the Bible, but Ellen White uses it—so what does it mean?
The Bible does reveal that concept, but in other words. Jesus spoke in the ‘third person’ quite often. When He used the phrase, “son of man,” it was then that we can see an application to the concept. Notice, that in most of the 88 times the phrase “son of man” was employed by the prophets […]

Remember, angel is only one of the ways used in the writings of EGW to refer to God’s agents. Go to the context of any section copied and pasted below to learn more.
He has sent forth His angels to minister to His church, and the gates of hell have not been able to prevail against His people. AA 11.2
Look upon the touching scene. Behold the Majesty of heaven surrounded by the Twelve whom He has chosen. He is about to set them apart for their work. By these feeble agencies, through His word and Spirit, […]
Angels in Acts of the ApostlesRwD2022-04-11T06:24:17-07:00
Please consider, with your God-blessed-Bible as the source for answers, these following videos with questions about God the Father, the Son of God, and the Spirit of God, along with questions about the trinity.
Share these considerations with your acquaintances. The notes are in the video descriptions and below the following videos.
Christ has a head – He is under the authority of His Father.
Man has a head – he is under the authority of Christ.
Woman has a head – she is under the authority of her husband.
Why?
Because of the angels.
Really?
Why???
Because the faithful angels didn’t know what had happened in the conflict over the begotten Son of God and the honored created son of God: Christ and Lucifer. They needed to understand what had happened and what the difference was between God the Father and His Son, so God made Adam to represent Himself, while Eve, begotten from Adam’s own substance, represented the Son.
Welcome.
God is leading His people to get to know Him as the Bible declares Him to be. Study here with Pastor Daniel Mesa as he considers hundreds of Bible texts concerning God, the God of the Bible.
