In Acts 5:3-4 Peter calls the Holy Spirit God. "But Peter said, “Ananias, why has Satan filled your heart to lie to the Holy Spirit and keep back part of the price of the land for yourself? 4 While it remained, was it not your own? And after it was sold, was it not in your own control? Why have you conceived this thing in your heart? You have not lied to men but to God.”
That's because the Holy Spirit is a title for God. The Spirit of God is described in Genesis 1:2.
My point is the understanding of God as a trinity is false. God is not some confused amalgamation of three beings in one but is uniquely the Father and the Father has begotten a Son who is God by inheritance as the son of a lord is also a lord by inheritance.
In Gen 1:1-2 where it says "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. 2 The earth was without form, and void; and darkness [was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.
Why does the Bible say the "Spirit of God" using the definite article to indicate the Spirit of God as a separate entity?
Jesus tells us directly that God is a Spirit. How do you thing God is omnipresent? His spirit dwells among us. John 4:24.
In John 14:26 Jesus says, "But the Helper, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in My name, He will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all things that I said to you."
If God and the Holy Spirit were the same, the verse would not make sense. God is spirit and separate from the Holy Spirit.
