No. God the Father doesn't have form nor does the Holy Spirit. Jesus has a body, but the "human" part of Him died. Adam was created in God's image, but not his "form". Humanity is made up of 3 distinct parts:
Body - physical
Soul - mind and emotions
Spirit - the part that connects with God. We are born with a broken spirit. Only by connecting with God through Jesus is our spirit able to live again.

Whether He (God) is a human depends on the subject and the context. Some say that God was real and looks like a human, and others say that God is actually not a human. He does not he the official species, as he is supernatural and ageless.

I can think of no context outside of Jesus' life on earth that would recommend a title of "human" to God. In the Old Testament, God would sometimes assume human form to interact with humanity, but he was never a human prior to being born.

Or perhaps what makes him not human is his immortality. Perhaps the only part of him that could feel like us (jesus) is dead forever and now he can't relate to us anymore.

Wouldn't that mean he'd have to look like a human though?

God is not a human, He is far above and beyond being human.

In major philosophical and theological traditions, God is not a human being, but rather an eternal, no -physical creator who transcends the material universe. However, different religions interpret the relationship between God and humanity in unique ways:

Perspectives on the Nature of God:

Abrahamic faiths: In Judaism, Islam, and mainstream Christianity, God is understood to be pure spirit. He does not have a physical body, flesh, or gender, though ancient scriptures frequently use human-like metaphors (anthropomorphisms) such as the “hand of God” to describe His actions.

The incarnation: Christianity features a unique exception in Jesus Christ, who theologians teach is both fully God and fully human. In this specific context, God willingly took on human flesh and limitations, though His foundation divine essence remains non-human.

Eastern Traditions: in Hinduism, the supreme reality (Brahman) is an ultimate, formless cosmic force. However, this divine reality manifests in personal, physical forms known as avatars (such as Krishna) to interact with humanity.

Latter-day Saints: In Mormonism, God the Father is explicitly believed to possess a physical, perfect, and exalted human body.

Secular view: Atheistic and agonistic viewpoints argue that God is a completely human invention or psychological coping mechanism created to explain the unknown.

Yes God the Father and Jesus Chrost is human. And we made in His image. And Holy Spirit, He like a human but just the Spirit.

Because the second Divine Person of the trinity, God the Son, became human it is accurate to say God is a human.

Well Jesus is God, so technically yes

No God is not a human. Im assuming your asking the question about Jesus, God the Son. However he had 2 nature's, human and divine who are unified in the person of Christ. Great question tho. I might have said a few things wrong but the theology behind it is complicated

So one of these nights and about twelve o’clock
This old world’s gonna reel and rock
Saints will tremble and cry for pain
For the Lord’s gonna come in his heavenly airplane.

If God had a name, what would it be?
And you would call it to His face
If you were faced with Him in all His glory?
What would you ask if you had just one question?

And yeah, yeah, God is great
Yeah, yeah, God is good
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

What if God was one of us
Just a sob like one of us
Just a stranger on a bus
Tryna make His way home?

If God had a face, what would it look like?
And would you wanna see
If seeing meant that you would have to believe
In things like Heaven and Jesus and the Saints
And all the prophets?

And yeah, yeah, God is great
Yeah, yeah, God is good
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

What if God was one of us
Just a slob like one of us
Just a stranger on a bus
Tryna make His way home?

Just tryna make His way home
Back up to Heaven all alone
Nobody callin’ on the phone
‘Cept for the Pope, maybe in Rome.

And yeah, yeah, God is great
Yeah, yeah, God is good
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

What if God was one of us
Just a slob like one of us
Just a stranger on a bus

Just tryna make His way home
Like a holy rolling stone
Back up to Heaven all alone
Just tryna make his way home.

Nobody callin’ on the phone
