Is the holy spirit a living being with equality to the Father and son? Lets look at bible facts.
1) The Father has a name-YHWH(Jehovah) the son has a name Jesus-Holy spirit-0
2) The Father seen on a throne, the son seen on a throne-Holy spirit-0
3)The Father shares certain things with the son-Holy spirit-0
4)Many very important passages in NT where only the Father and son are spoken of-holy spirit-2
The most important one being John 17:3--This means eternal life, their knowing you( Father) THE ONLY TRUE GOD and the one whom you sent forth Christ Jesus. Holy spirit-0
No is the answer i see. How about you?
The new Catholic encyclopedia 1967 Vol XIII Page 575-- The majority of NT texts reveal Gods spirit as something not someone.

I believe what the Bible tells, Holy Spirit is the spirit of truth, that guides person to truth.
However when he, the Spirit of truth, has come, he will guide you into all truth, for he will not speak from himself; but whatever he hears, he will speak. He will declare to you things that are coming.
John 16:13

A few things are spoken of a being a living being in the bible but arent. Every living being has a personal name.

Post #6God is unimaginable and beyond space. Such God cannot be even imagined. But when such God comes to this world in human form the we human beings can see Him, touch Him and co-live with Him. God comes for our sake only. Since God is impartial He comes to this world in every human generation to preach and uplift us like Rama, Krishna, Buddha, Jesus, Muhammad, Sai Baba, Shankara etc.

Still not scriptural, your reply is just your dogma and is just an opinion and not proven as truth. Back yourself up with scripture.

The bible teaches God sent someone, thus he did not come down in human form. The only true living God there ever was = YHWH(Jehovah)
