Holy Spirit is God And Jesus Christ Is God

THE HOLY SPIRIT AS GOD IN THE OLD TESTAMENT
In the first two quotes, God refers to the Holy Spirit in the first person pronoun. The rest of the quotes are from Jesus, Paul and Peter quoting the Holy Spirit as the Spirit of God.

1. The Lord God said, "And I will put my spirit within you, and cause you to walk in my statutes, and ye shall keep my judgments, and do them" (Ezekiel 36:27).

2. "And shall put my spirit in you, and ye shall live and I shall place you in your own land: then shall ye know that I the Lord have spoken it, and performed it, saith the Lord" (Ezekial 37:14).

3. Jesus described the Holy Spirit in John 4:24: "God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him spirit and in truth."

4. Paul in I Corinthians 12:6 quotes: "And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God which worketh all in all."

5. Peter said in Acts 5:3.4: "Ananias, why hath Satan filled thine heart to lie to the Holy Ghost ... thou hast not lied unto men, but unto God."

THE WORK OF THE HOLY SPIRIT IN THE OLD TESTAMENT
A. THE HOLY SPIRIT CREATES

The Spirit of God created many wonderful things, the earth and the heavens and gave life to human beings.

In the beginning of creation, the "Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters" (Genesis 1:2).

"Thou sendest forth thy spirit, they are created:" (Psalm 104:30).

"By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens" (Job 26:13).

"The spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life" (Job 33:4).

B. THE HOLY SPIRIT GIVES POWER TO PEOPLE

God gave power to different people like Joseph, Joshua, Bezalel, Samson and Daniel the ability to rule, leadership, knowledge, craftsmanship, strength and interpretation of dreams.

God's Spirit gave Joseph the ability to rule (Genesis 41:38-41).

Joshua was given leadership ability to lead the Israelites into the land of Canaan (Num 27:18-20; Deu 34:9).

God enabled seventy elders to rule over Israel (Num 11:16-17).

He gave knowledge and craftmanship to Bezalel and others (Ex 31:2-6; 35:30-31).

God gave Samson tremendous strength (Jud 14:6,19; 15:14; 16:28-30).

Daniel was given the ability to interpret the dreams of Nebuchadnezer (Dan 4:8-9,18; 5:14; cf 1:17-20).

C. THE HOLY SPIRIT GIVES INSTRUCTION

The Holy Spirit gives Warning and Prophecy from the Prophets (Nehemiah 9:30; Zechariah 7:12; Hebrews 1:1; 2 Peter 1:21).

The Spirit of the Lord made David prophesy ( 1 Samuel 16:13; 2 Samuel 23:2).

God's spirit moved Zecharish to warn king Joash (2 Chronicles 24:20-22).. Micaiah predicted that king Ahab would die in the battlefield (1 Kings 22: 13-25.

God's spirit brought Ezekiel to speak about the captivity in Chaldea (Ezekiel 11:22-25).

The Spirit of the Lord made Micah declare the transgression of Israel (Micah 3:8).





GOD'S OTHER MANIFESTATION: JESUS CHRIST
GOD IN HUMAN FORM

Jesus Christ is the Word made flesh in John 1:1, 14.

"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. (v. 14)And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth,..."

It is clearly seen in Isaiah 9:6 that Jesus is the Son and called Wonderful Counsellor, The Mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. The Son and Father are blended into one.

JESUS is GOD of the Old Testament

1. God is the Creator (Gen 1:1; Neh 9:5; Isa 42:5). Jesus is the Creator (Jn 1:1-3; Col 1:16; Heb 1:10).

2. God is the Savior (Isa 43:11; Hos 13:4). Jesus is the Savior (Lk 2:11; Acts 4:12; Jude 24).

3. God is King (Ps 10:16; 96:10). Jesus is King (Rev 11:15).

4. God is the God of gods and the Lord of lords (Deu 10:17; Dan 2:47). Jesus is the Lord of lords (Rev 17:14; 19:16).

5. God is the Lord of life (Deu 32:39; Jer 38:16). Jesus is the Lord of life (Jn 1:4; 11:25; 14:6).

6. God is the first and the last (Isa 44:6; 48:12). Jesus is the first and the last (Rev 1:17; 22:13).


THE SPIRIT of JESUS in the NEW TESTAMENT
God gives the Spirit of God into the hearts of man and leads, guides and helps them to obey the commandments of God.

1. "And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father" (Gal. 4:6).

2. "Now the Lord is that Spirit: and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty" (2 Co 3:17).

3. In the incident of the Ethiopian eunuch and Philip (Acts 8:26-29), the Spirit said unto Philip, "Go near and join thyself to this chariot" (v.29) ... "And when they were come up out of the water, the Spirit of the the Lord caught away Philip" (v.39).

4. The disciples were forbidden by the Holy Spirit to preach the word in Asia (Acts 16:6).

5. "So then they that are in the flesh cannot please God: But ye are not in the flesh, but in the Spirit, if so be that the Spirit of God dwell in you. Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his" (Rom 8:8,9).

The Spirit of God, the Holy Spirit (Ghost) and the Spirit of Jesus Christ are the same, for the Holy Spirit is God and is also Jesus Christ, our Saviour.

WIKIPEDIA
The Trinity is a Christian doctrine, stating that God exists as three persons, or in the Greek hypostases, but is one being.[1][2] The persons are understood to exist as God the Father, God the Son (incarnate as Jesus Christ), and God the Holy Spirit. Since beginning of the third century[3] the doctrine of the Trinity has been stated as "that the one God exists in three Persons and one substance, Father, Son and Holy Spirit".[4]Trinitarianism, belief in the Trinity, is a mark of Oriental and Eastern Orthodoxy, Roman Catholicism and all the mainstream traditions arising from the Protestant Reformation, such as Anglicanism, Lutheranism and Presbyterianism; and the Trinity has been described as "the central dogma of Christian theology".[4]

Opposing nontrinitarian positions held by some groups include Binitarianism (two /persons/aspects), Unitarianism onedeity/person/aspect), the Oness belief held by certain Pentecostal groups, Modalism, and the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints' view of the Godhead as three separate beings are one in purpose rather than essence.

IS "TRINITY" BIBLICALLY CORRECT? NO
No such word as "Trinity" exists in the whole Bible, but is a word coined in the third century by theologians. The Old Testament insists there is only one God and no one else. The Ten Commandments (Exodus 20:1-6) tells us in the first three commandments, "I am the Lord thy God, which have brought thee out of the house of bondage. (3) Thou shalt have no other gods before me."

How can Christians who believe in the One True God classify "God" as a person, when throughout the Bible, He is said to be "Spirit"? How can the Spirit of God be named as a "Person" when He is called the "Spirit of the Lord?" How can man bring low the status of God to that of MAN? Man is not eternal. Man has earthly feelings and thoughts. God is righteous, self-existent and does not consult with other men for decisions. God is a Spirit, the Holy Spirit is "His Power Force" and Jesus Christ is GOD's HUMAN FORM." There is only ONE GOD!

ONE TRUE GOD
God, the Holy Spirit (power force), and Jesus Christ (human form) are the One true God, and not three persons in One as claimed by the Trinitarians.

"I and my Father are one" (John 10:30).

"There is none other God but one" (1 Corinthians 8:4).

"Unto thee it was shewed, that the Lord he is God; there is none else beside him" (Deu 4:35; 6:4;).

"Neither is there any God beside thee" (2 Sam 7:22)

"Thou art God alone" (Ps 86:10).

"Hear, O Israel; The Lord our God is one Lord" (Mark 12:29).

"there is none other God but one" (1 Cor 8:4).

"For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus" (1 Tim 2:5).

"FOR THERE ARE THREE THAT BEAR RECORD IN HEAVEN, THE FATHER, THE WORD, AND THE HOLY GHOST: AND THESE THREE ARE ONE." (1 John 5:7).

AMEN
