Since Jesus (The son) came to earth, could the father come to earth too?

Question

If Jesus came to earth as the incarnate of The Son (part of The Trinity), could an incarnate of The Father theoretically come to earth at some point?

Answer 1

Logically speaking, there isn't anything that seems to prevent it. However, some Christian thinkers (e.g., Thomas Aquinas) have argued that it would have been unfitting for the Father to become incarnate rather than the Son. Basically, the idea is that if God wants to be known as Father, Son, and Spirit then it makes the most sense in the divine narrative of salvation that the Son should be sent by the Father to become known to humanity. For, if the Father were to become incarnate instead then this would seem to require some other sort of revelation to reveal that God the Son is truly God as well. And so, while it is possible that the Father might have been incarnate rather than the Son, the Son's becoming incarnate fits better into the story God is telling with and through us.
