The holy spirit is personal

Mark 3:29 - “whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit”. How can a non-personal force be blasphemed against?

Acts 5:3-4 - Ananias is guilty of lying to God (the Holy Spirit).

The angel of the Lord is God and is Jesus

Humans have trinities (body, soul, spirit).

1 Thessalonians 5:23

We are made in the image of God. God is a trinity we are triune

So all three persons of the trinity are called God directly in the bible. This with all three persons appearing at the same time in the burning bush, at the law being given, and Jesus’ baptism / transfiguration. There is only one logical conclusion. Our God is a trinity just as we are a trinity since we are made in the image of God. His trinity is not the same as our trinity because he is greater in all things and all ways but it is helpful to understand God just a little bit better.
