Divergent Beliefs of the Holy Spirit

What does “there is only one God…” quote show us?
Shows us that there is only one powerful, loving god. He has many attributes and persons who are all equal and equally important as each other but are not the same. These persons are God the Father -Creator/above us, God the Son -Saviour/beside us, and God the Holy Spirit -inspiration of the Bible/with us today
