What are the Biblical verses that say or imply that the Holy Spirit is a separate entity. I prefer verses from the Gospels, as I take them to have the up most authority in the Bible.
Also...
I believe the Holy Spirit is God's Spirit on Earth. For those that may have misunderstood that, I believe that the Father is God. I do not believe Jesus is God Himself, but rather God's (the Father's) Divine Son.
Why are my beliefs wrong? I based them on the Gospels, and the words that Jesus Himself spoke. Can anyone give me a Bible verse where Jesus claims He is God Himself? Jesus certainly claims Divinity and I believe He is divine, but what verses are there where Jesus says that He is God?
I have yet to find any verses where Jesus says Himself that He is God.
No, I'm not a JW. Yes, I do have an open mind.
I've grew up Christian (Orthodox and later Protestant) and I didn't learn about the Trinity until I was probably 20 or 21. I've read the Bible since I was a child and I've never gotten a single hint that the Christian definition of the Trinity was found within.
