How to find references to "God" that are not God the Father
The "person" tag allows searching for "God". It is not clear to me whether this tag means "God" in a general sense of specifically God the Father. I could not find any person tag that was specifically for God the Father.
My purpose is to create a Visual Filter for the three persons of the Trinity. I set up 3 colors for each of these Bible search criteria:
- person:God
- person:Jesus
- person:"Holy Spirit"
Will this cover all of the persons of the Trinity? Are there other tags for Jesus that I should use?
I there a way to find references to God that are not referring to God the Father or are all references to God assumed to be the Father?

If I enter "person:God", the pick list offers the following choices for the persons of the Trinity:
- God (supernatural being)
- Holy Spirit (supernatural being)
- Jesus (supernatural being)
Does this mean that "God (supernatural being)" refers to God the Father?

In terms of tagging I believe this is the case

person:Christ
You will see tagging of the one person for both God/Christ or Jesus/Christ as well as unique occurrences for Christ.

So, do you recommend changing my Visual Filter to:
- person:God
- person:Jesus OR person:Christ
- person:"Holy Spirit"
Are there any alternative tags for God the Father or the Holy Spirit?

To avoid overlap:
- person:God
- (person:Jesus OR person:Christ) NOT EQUALS person:God
- person:"Holy Spirit" NOT EQUALS person:God
EDIT: I got this wrong. You should use use INTERSECTS instead of EQUALS.

To make sure a search for "God" includes only God the Father, would it be best to use:
- person:God NOT EQUALS (person:Jesus OR person:Christ OR person:"Holy Spirit")
Is this the right syntax to eliminate Jesus and the Holy Spirit from a search for God?

Sorry, i got this wrong. We should use INTERSECTS (inspect Mt 4.3, 8.29 from the EQUALS search)
person:God NOT INTERSECTS (person:Jesus OR person:Christ OR person:"Holy Spirit")
