The Holy Spirit would be one of Fathers 7 spirits. Each spirit is assigned an area. We have one here, that is the Holy Spirit in which everyone speaks of.

The Bible only refers to "The" Spirit of God. As in one. Such as the one which hovered/brooded over the surface of the waters.
Am I to understand that you are saying God is made up of three natures, in addition to 7 spirits, for a total of 10 dimensions of His essence?
“And I saw in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures, and in the midst of the elders, a Lamb standing, as though it had been slain, having seven horns, and seven eyes, which are the seven spirits of God, sent forth into all the earth” (5:6)
“And out of the throne proceed lightnings and voices and thunders. And there were seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven spirits of God” (4:5).
“And to the angel of the church in Sardis write: These things he says who has the seven spirits of God, and the seven stars: I know your works, that you have a name that you are alive, and you are dead” (3:1).

As I said before. The Spirits are solely there to do a task. Father does not need them to be him, if that makes sense. His spirits do not reside in him, like you think a humans would, maybe thus the confusion
Interesting. I wonder why he creates people with both female and male parts?

Then I personally disagree with you. That would be like God putting the spirit of a donkey into the body of a frog. God is very particular about His order of things, wouldn't you say?
Jesus is my Lord. Welp, I just blew that one out of the water.

I did not say that. I was referring to scripture on what man cannot utter if the Holy Spirit is not within him. Yes, Jesus is my Lord and will always continue to be.

So, God sends people to hell for not being capable of forgiving the people who have caused them harm, murdered, raped and etc., etc.....?
Gee, and all this time I thought blasphemy against the Holy Spirit was the only unforgivable sin, when all along it is the human sin of holding onto the pain of seeing a loved one ravaged by the very evil God allowed to arise and rage, and the inability to accept it.
I've had far worse done to me. You pray for and ask for the grace to forgive them, and God grants that request and gives the grace to forgive.
What are you talking about, you've had far "worse done to you"? Are you setting yourself up as model of true forgiveness? So, you were able to forgive, you say, because you prayed and God gave you forgiveness. So all these people are burning in hell because God either didn't answer their prayer for forgiveness, or they didn't ask for it right or not at all.
So, you concur, the unforgivable sin is not praying for forgiveness and/or not praying for it correctly or at all?
I've never had a god come to me and tell me he forgives me for anything.

And the people in hell are there because they refused the forgiveness God already gave to them. They "slapped" away His hand offered in forgiveness.

Anyone can easily type this. But, a true confession cannot be done without the Spirit within.

Interesting. So I guess my question still stands.

The only way to prove this would be in person, not over electronic communication.

I don't 'set myself up" as any kind of model for anything other than to say a person can ask for and receive the grace to forgive someone who has done very evil things to them.
Let me get this straight, you have to ask for the grace to forgive someone who has wronged you?
Guess I'm in trouble then...? I wonder why this god can't forgive me, even if I don't ask. I do this for my kids and I'm a mere human.

I suppose those couldn't also cause homosexuality?

He doesn't.
Genetic aberrations cause that.
