Is there one God or three? Does the Holy Spirit do things without the will of the Father? We don’t confuse when we say Holy Spirit. There is one God. It’s becoming very obvious to me that you indeed don’t avail yourself of or listen to the guidance of the Holy Spirit when trying to understand scripture.

“Is there one God or three?”

One, of course.

“Does the Holy Spirit do things without the will of the Father?”

No, of course not. Does that mean we can simply interchange any verse about one with the other? Or with the Son?

If so, then what is the point of God revealing all three to us, and giving us verses specifically about all three? Are you saying God did that for no reason, that He is irrational?

“It’s becoming very obvious to me that you indeed don’t avail yourself of or listen to the guidance of the Holy Spirit when trying to understand scripture.”

You started this conversation off with these baseless, insulting assertions, and you continue with them. Yet, I am the one who doesn’t have the guidance of the Holy Spirit?!? Speck, plank, need I say more?

For the discussion, I just wanted to point out that autonomy - or the Law of Identity, A=A and not B - is part of the creation and not a property of, or restriction on the Creator of it.

Therefore, there is no conflict in Scripture:

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. - Romans 8:9

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. In him was life; and the life was the light of men. – John 1:1-4

And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof. And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth. – Revelation 5:5-6
