God in the form of a father walked the earth in the old testament. Moses saw the back of God while cleft in the bosom of the rock. That was the father of his daughter Israel. His feet were occupying the earth in that space and time. God's word proclaimed the coming Deliverer the Anointed one and Messiah to redeem the earth.
God the son came and dwelt amongst us and we beheld his glory. He walked on this earth in the form of the son. He promised when he left that he would send the comforter.
Now the church is filled with the Holy Spirit. We have our feet firmly planted in the word. We stand in defense of the gospel. We contend for the things of God. When we are taken away then that will complete the family cycle.
King David said, "I will dwell in the house of the Lord for a thousand generations." A generation was in the lifetime of a family. So, the Father, Son and Holy Spirit are the lifetime of a family. Once that family is gone there will be no other family.

See what you went and started?
The Trinity is a mystery. Nobody can figure out how it works. It just is!
And it's highly unlikely God the Father was the one Moses experienced. That it was the preincarnate Jesus makes lots more sense, especially since Jesus said that no one has ever seen the Father but him.
Finally, it's impossible to have 31,000 variations of the Christian creed, and 31,000 different variations of the meaning of scripture, with the Holy Spirit as the author of all.
There's only one complete version of all God's revealed truth, and that truth is present in only one Church, not 31,000 different ones.
Regarding the fellow who claims that the whole Trinity died when Jesus died on the cross ... make that variation number 31,001!

No---there is no such thing---The trinity doctrine is man-made and it had it's beginning in ancient Babylon, The Babylonians did not worship the one true God, but triads of gods, shown in historical pictures having three heads.
People should consider what the Bible really teaches about the identity of God and his Son and God's active force or power.
Here is something to think about also:
Jesus was dead for the better part of three days. If Jesus is God and was dead for that long--then who was ruling in heaven all that time? If the holy spirit is also God, then it was dead too. So there would have been no God alive to pray to those three days, no God to do anything for anyone. Satan could have taken over the entire universe since "God" was dead. Satan is powerful and could have caused complete chaos for the earth, worse than we see now, if there was no God more powerful to prevent him from doing so.
This Scripture also shows that Jesus cannot be God--""No one knows about that day or hour, not even the angels in heaven, nor the Son, but only the Father." (Mark 13:32 ) NIV
If Jesus were God who knows all things, then he would know the day and hour, but he doesn't because Jesus is not God. And the holy spirit is not even mentioned.
Christendom has misled so many people by teaching them such a false pagan doctrine. If only people could come to know the true God (Psalms 83:18) and who he really is. Jesus tried to tell people about his Father and that they should worship his Father alone.
Two reasons people believe in such doctrines are found at
2 Timothy 4:3-4--"For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires, because they have itching ears, they will heap up for themselves teachers; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, and be turned aside to fables." and at John 12:39-40--"Therefore they could not believe, because Isaiah said again: “ He has blinded their eyes and hardened their hearts, Lest they should see with their eyes, Lest they should understand with their hearts and turn, So that I should heal them.”

A correction: When Moses asked God to see him, he didn't see his back as you said .. here is the true story:
[6:143]When Moses came at our appointed time, and his Lord spoke with him, he said, "My Lord, let me look and see You." He said, "You cannot see Me. Look at that mountain; if it stays in its place, then you can see Me." Then, his Lord manifested Himself to the mountain, and this caused it to crumble. Moses fell unconscious.
