Btw, where do you see the spirit of the human, compared to God? If we are created in his image, why would we have three parts, and God only two?
If the Father is the soul while Jesus is walking the earth, where is the Holy Spirit?
It is interesting that the second person of God, the redeemer from the old covenant, because the spirit inside the body of Jesus, rather than the HS.

Coop,
The Holy Spirit means Divine Truth. Divine Truth is the Word, and Jesus Christ is the Word, which means He is the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit is not a god, but Divine Truth that
proceeds from God the Saviour Jesus Christ. Jehovah God the Father had spoken to the Prophets by means of the Holy Spirit, which means, by means of Divine Truth. The Holy Spirit is the Divine Truth and also the Divine Energy and Operation done by God the Saviour Jesus Christ.
Jesus sending the Holy Spirit from the Father to the Disciples, was from Himself. When the Comforter is come whom I will send unto you from the Father, the Spirit of truth that goes forth from the Father, He shall bear witness of Me, John 15:26. From the Father means from the Divine Love in Jesus. The Lord's Soul is the Father. That is His Divine Love. He is sending the Holy Spirit from Himself, not from another.

Harry, as the "bible answer man" is want to say, what you believe is way beyond or outsite of the "pale of orthodxy," that has been the mainstream beliefs down through the centuries. How can you have Jesus and the HS as one, when Jesus was coming up from the water and the HS was coming down like a dove? How can you have Jesus be the HS, when Jesus said, if I don't go, I can't send Him? If Jesus was Himself, He would have to go where the HS was; yet Jesus is saying that He cannot send the HS until He leaves the earth.
Here is proof that the Lord is the Holy Spirit:
I baptise you with water for repentance, but he who will come after me will baptise with the Holy Spirit and with fire. Matthew 3:11; Mark 1:8; Luke 3:16.
The Holy Spirit was not yet, because Jesus was not yet glorified. John 7:39.
and after His glorification:
He breathed on His disciples and said, Receive the Holy Spirit. John 20:22.
The HS came from inside Jesus. He breath on the Disciples. In the book of Genesis God the Creator breath on Adam:Jehovah God breathed into Adam's nostrils the breath of life, and he became a living soul Genesis 2:7.
Jesus called the Spirit "another" comforter. He therefore cannot be one and the same as the HS. Interesting though, in the very next verse Jesus says
"I will come back to you." What does this mean? That Jesus and the HS are part of the same being. It is for sure that the spiritual body of Jesus, with the holes in His hands, is not dwelling in me. No, it is the HS, the third person of the Godhead that is dwelling in us, while the Father and Jesus are standing side by side at the throne. They two cannot be one, for it would be impossible to stand beside yourself.
Notice how Jesus puts this: "
Whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of Truth Who comes (proceeds) from the Father. (John 15:26)
First, who is the "I?" He is the second person of the Godhead, Jesus. Who is the Father? He is the first person of the Godhead. Finally, who is the Spirit of Truth? He is the third person of the Godhead.
"...but if I go away, I will send Him..." (John 16:7)
Who is the "I?" It is Jesus. Who is the "Him?" It is the HS. Notice that Jesus calls the HS a "Him." Divine Truth is truth, but not a "him." A person is a him.
John 25:8 And when He comes, He will...
Only a person is a "He." Truth is not a "He."
Acts 10:19
While Peter thought on the vision, the Spirit said unto him, Behold, three men seek thee.
Beings can speak, but truth is spoken.
As I see it
