But according to Saint Peter, the Holy Spirit is God. (Acts 5:3-4)
P.S. According to Jesus too.
If all three beings or persons of this trinity were all truly God and truly equal on all things, why can we sin against the other two parts of this Godhead? The Bible says we can sin against the God (Jehovah) part and the Son (Jesus) part, but not the Holy Spirit ( no named) part?
If one sins against one part,why wouldn't that be sinning against the whole part?
Try to remember what the so called explination of these three parts are according to the trinity dogma before you answer............

I am starting to wonder. Was the Trinity concept put forth in order to get around the conversation between separate entities in Genesis, i.e. "Let us make man in our image?" Were the first proponents of the Trinity concept just trying to take traction away from the possible accusation that Christians are Polytheists?
I don't have a problem at all with God and Jesus talking amongst one another in the aforementioned verse. But I can see that in saying that, I am leaving myself open to the argument that I'm a Polytheist.
Interesting.

I would not say they are all equal like some do, however they are all
equally God since they do share in this Divine nature or whatever. Clearly,
the Son said the Father is greater than I. The Trinity acknowledges this
by making Him the second person of the Trinity. It is also acknowledged
that we do not fully understand God and that He is a mystery to us. So
we do the best we can to put everything said about Him together to help
explain what we think has been revealed so far.

Seems neither of you want to be accoisiated with the bad side of those words ,(and thier meanings).
All words are going to have good and bad meanings depending on what context you use them, but I have prolly lost you at "appropriate term...", like I usually do...
Carry on, dont mind me

twisted interpretation of the verse, lets not forget of course your one dimensional
dogmatic point of view and how it has tainted your ability to make any objective
understanding of scripture quite impossible.
See the Gmans rather excellent question utterly refuting the absurdity of your claim.
