That was a clear BLUNDER of the churchfathers, they failed to figure out that THE HOLY SPIRIT IS THE FATHER TOO. From Jesus' statements you are definitely sure that ONLY THE FATHER is with the Son. Thus, of course only TWO blasphemies can exist: either 1. against the Son or 2. against the Father. Accordingly, Jesus discussed those TWO blasphemies, but in the second one the Father was surprisingly addressed by using the name "Holy Spirit". Why? Because Jesus tells us that the FATHER IS A SPIRIT (Jn. 4: 23,24). Thus "Holy Spirit" is just a "spirit-name" given by Jesus to that Spirit who is the Father. Jesus also directly confirms that the HOLY SPIRIT inside Him IS THE FATHER: “The words I say to you, I say not on my own but from the FATHER who DWELLS IN ME. The Father is thus called either "Holy Father" or "Holy Spirit by Jesus. Why is God a spirit? Even the churchfathers noticed something weird but very important: God does NOT PERSONALLY take actions here on earth, rather everything is carried out by his Spirit: the Holy Spirit. Thus, some churchfathers thought He was a person and called Him the "HELPER". Wrong. It is true that God doesn't personally take actions, but his Spirit is not a "Helper": He is the SAME ALMIGHTY GOD IN THE FORM OF A SPIRIT, see above. The reason is that God is not personally here, HE IS AWAY "before the foundation of the world, (Jn. 17, 24-26)" (only the Son who is older than the world could see Him). But even when absent, God is able to be here in the form of a spirit - this means that NOBODY is actually here - to talk to people and to take actions. He is the "Spirit of God" (the Holy Spirit). God is thus "split" into TWO PARTS: the Father and the Holy Spirit. The Father is personally MISSING, this is why Jesus says "Nobody has seen God at any time" "the world has not known you". "INVISIBILITY" has nothing to do with that: you cannot see the Father (God) because He is not here! The Holy Spirit is here, but since NOBODY is actually here, everything must be DECIDED BY THE MISSING GOD. No third divine person exists.
