The Bible implies that Jesus did not have the Spirit until baptism and then it says that Jesus had to have Spirit guide Him. As God, he was never without the Father and without the Spirit, for they are One. The Bible doesn't treat them as such.

I disagree:

Now his parents went to Jerusalem every year at the feast of the passover. And when he was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem after the custom of the feast. And when they had fulfilled the days, as they returned, the child Jesus tarried behind in Jerusalem; and Joseph and his mother knew not [of it].

But they, supposing him to have been in the company, went a day's journey; and they sought him among [their] kinsfolk and acquaintance. And when they found him not, they turned back again to Jerusalem, seeking him. And it came to pass, that after three days they found him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the doctors, both hearing them, and asking them questions. And all that heard him were astonished at his understanding and answers.

And when they saw him, they were amazed: and his mother said unto him, Son, why hast thou thus dealt with us? behold, thy father and I have sought thee sorrowing.

And he said unto them, How is it that ye sought me? wist ye not that I must be about my Father's business?

And they understood not the saying which he spake unto them. – Luke 2:41-50

Tanks A-G. The passages where Christ "receives" the Spirit at His Baptism and where Spirit leads Him into the wilderness is not consistent with the Trinitarian understand of God as Christianity believes.

As eternal God, Christ eternally receives the Spirit from the father, and He eternally sends the same Spirit of love to the Father. There never was a time when the Word, Incarnate or not, was without the Spirit.

Christ's divine nature was sufficient to guide Jesus into the desert.
