Christ states very simply that He is the Son of God (and JAH is the God to whom He is referring); that He is the begotten Son of God. I am taking Him at His word. Anything else would be a lack of faith in Him. He also states that He is the person David calls 'my lord' in Psalm 110:1, and we can see from that verse that "YHWH" is speaking to the person David calls 'my Lord' in Psalm 110:1. So "YHWH" and Christ cannot be the same person.
Where in form, is YHWH represented?

Christians in general have an image which for them represents The Creator. But does The Creator actually have a form?

In relation to the question "Is YHWH represented in form?" YHWH is an image of The Creator [represented in words which give form within the mind of a human being] so in that sense, the answer would be " Yes. YHWH is represented in form."

Humans just don't know what Jehovah's person is like. We have no inkling of what the spirit world is really like. Jehovah must have a form, but it's not for us to imagine. We do, however, in our minds, think of Him as having a form such as we have.
