Now you're getting into the whole Trinity doctrine.
As I understand the title of this thread, it was specifically about the Holy Spirit, so I will confine myself to that topic.

That was my point.
The Spirit being equal with God was on-topic.
Jesus being or not being equal with God is not.

If the Spirit IS God, then the Spirit is equal with God.

IF the Holy spirit is God as you stated... Why does Paul never address him as such?
Paul was the main man of the Christian church... Yet he makes no association with the holy spirit being equal to God...
Akragon
So according to Paul...the spirit of God IS the holy spirit... Thus What dwells within us is equal to God because it is the "spirit of God" that is within...
SO we are equal to God... as I've said previously on the last page

The New Testament authors didn't come up with the doctrine of the Trinity. To say so shows that you haven't done your research and study.

The holy spirit being God is the OP's topic... And in the Trinity doctrine all three are equal...
There is absolutely no support of this idea in the bible...

If the three are one ... then they are equal because they are all from the same source.
