He's been a bush and a donkey so he can be whatever he wants to be.
He wasn't really a "bush" nor a "donkey," technically. There was a "fire" in the bush that Moses saw and the fire did not consume the bush. That is why Moses turned aside to have a look.
The donkey spoke, apparently miraculously and complained of Balaam hitting him. Then the donkey pointed out the Angel of the Lord who was poised to strike them both down.

Well, technically that is correct. But, you know what I'm meaning - - stop reading what I post and read what I mean - - -

No, Electricity is generated Power. You can't see it but like the wind, you can see how dangerous it is, if unharnessed.
No one could see God and live. Moses put on a veil. Jesus was the
veil between God and men. The Spirit of God (unharnessed) scared
the Israelites. Thunder, lightning, wind. God knew how to get Moses
attention and talk to Him. Moses was a prepared vessel.
GOD, Spirit/Deity/Father was glorified in the Son (flesh/man).
The Word speaks of "when He comes to be glorified in his saints.
We are told to "...glorfy GOD in your body and in your spirit which
are God's. Where will the glory of God be seen!
We are not our own. We have been bought with a price.
Hebrews 1:1-3 KJVGod, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, (2) Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; (3) Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;
Of course God is a "person".

"Many Christians do not try to understand what was written in a verse in the Bible. Instead they approach the passage to prove what they already believe."
Hebrews 1:1-3 KJVGod, who at sundry times and in divers manners spake in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, (2) Hath in these last days spoken unto us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; (3) Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;
Of course God is a "person".

Is the person of God separate or distinct from the person of Christ?
