GOD’s Spirit came upon many people other than Jesus:

Trinitanian Christians claim that since Jesus carried GOD’s spirit, then he must be GOD himself !. They often present these verses from the Bible:

Isaiah 11:1-3
  1. A shoot will come up from the stump of Jesse; from his roots a Branch will bear fruit.
  2. The Spirit of the LORD will rest on him (Jesus)-- the Spirit of wisdom and of understanding, the Spirit of counsel and of power, the Spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD (Jesus fearing his GOD)–
  3. and he will delight in the fear of the LORD. He will not judge by what he sees with his eyes, or decide by what he hears with his ears;"
Matthew 12:18 ]“Here is my servant whom I have chosen, the one I love, in whom I delight; I will put my Spirit on him (Jesus), and he will proclaim justice to the nations.”

Let us look at the many others who carried GOD’s spirit in them in the Bible:

Others who carried GOD’s Spirit in them:

Samuel 16:16 “Let our lord command his servants here to search for someone who can play the harp. He will play when the evil spirit from God comes upon you, and you will feel better.” ** GOD HAS AN EVIL SPIRIT?! Obviously not, it’s only metaphoric.**

Samuel 18:10 “The next day an evil spirit from God came forcefully upon Saul. He was prophesying in his house, while David was playing the harp, as he usually did. Saul had a spear in his hand…” ANOTHER EVIL SPIRIT FROM GOD?! Again, it is only metaphoric.

Samuel 19:9 “But an evil spirit from the LORD came upon Saul as he was sitting in his house with his spear in his hand. While David was playing the harp,…” ANOTHER EVIL SPIRIT FROM GOD?!

Kings 22:23 “God sent LYING SPIRITS to lie to people” Does GOD lie?!

Numbers 24:2 “When Balaam looked out and saw Israel encamped tribe by tribe, the Spirit of God came upon him”

Judges 3:10 “The Spirit of the LORD came upon him, so that he became Israel’s judge and went to war. The LORD gave Cushan-Rishathaim king of Aram into
the hands of Othniel, who overpowered him.”

Judges 6:34 “Then the Spirit of the LORD came upon Gideon, and he blew a trumpet, summoning the Abiezrites to follow him.”
 
Judges 11:29 “Then the Spirit of the LORD came upon Jephthah. He crossed Gilead and Manasseh, passed through Mizpah of Gilead, and from there he advanced against the Ammonites.”

Judges 14:6 “The Spirit of the LORD came upon him in power so that he tore the lion apart with his bare hands as he might have torn a young goat. But he told
neither his father nor his mother what he had done.”

Judges 14:19 “Then the Spirit of the LORD came upon him in power. He went down to Ashkelon, struck down thirty of their men, stripped them of their belongings and gave their clothes to those who had explained the riddle. Burning with anger, he went up to his father’s house.”

Judges 15:14 “As he approached Lehi, the Philistines came toward him shouting. The Spirit of the LORD came upon him in power. The ropes on his arms became like charred flax, and the bindings dropped from his hands.”

1 Samuel 10:6 “The Spirit of the LORD will come upon you in power, and you will prophesy with them; and you will be changed into a different person.”

1 Samuel 10:10 “When they arrived at Gibeah, a procession of prophets met him; the Spirit of God came upon him in power, and he joined in their prophesying.”

1 Samuel 11:6 “When Saul heard their words, the Spirit of God came upon him in power, and he burned with anger.”

1 Samuel 16:13 “So Samuel took the horn of oil and anointed him in the presence of his brothers, and from that day on the Spirit of the LORD came upon David in power. Samuel then went to Ramah.”

1 Samuel 16:23 “Whenever the spirit from God came upon Saul, David would take his harp and play. Then relief would come to Saul; he would feel better, and the evil spirit would leave him.”

1 Samuel 19:20 “so he sent men to capture him. But when they saw a group of prophets prophesying, with Samuel standing there as their leader, the Spirit of God came upon Saul’s men and they also prophesied.”

1 Samuel 19:23 “So Saul went to Naioth at Ramah. But the Spirit of God came even upon him, and he walked along prophesying until he came to Naioth.”

2 Chronicles 15:1 “The Spirit of God came upon Azariah son of Oded.”

Ezekiel 11:5 "Then the Spirit of the LORD came upon me, and he told me to say: “This is what the LORD says: That is what you are saying, O house of Israel, but I know what is going through your mind.”

Ezekiel 37:1 “The hand of the LORD was upon me, and he brought me out by the Spirit of the LORD and set me in the middle of a valley; it was full of bones.”

Luke 1:35 "The angel answered, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you (Mary), and the power of the Most High will overshadow you. So the holy one to be born will be called the Son of God.”

Luke 2:25 “Now there was a man in Jerusalem called Simeon, who was righteous and devout. He was waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him.”
 
Now, why do we have to consider Jesus as the Creater of this Universe or someone who is equal to GOD just because GOD had put his spirit in Jesus, and not consider the many others who carried GOD’s spirit above as equal to GOD?

a little louder please, we can’t hear you.
 
As you say, God’s Spirit has come upon many people, like the prophets of ancient Israel. However, Jesus possesses God’s Spirit in a unique way, far superior to any prophet. Jesus is God’s Son:1In many and various ways God spoke of old to our fathers by the prophets; 2but in these last days he has spoken to us by a Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world. (Hebrews 1:1)

In the following parable about a householder (God), his vineyard (Israel, the people of God), the tenants he entrusted his vineyard to (Jewish political and religious leaders), the servants he sent (the prophets), and his son and heir to all he has (Jesus), Jesus indicates that he himself is more than a servant (more than a prophet); he is the son of the householder (the Son of God):

33"Hear another parable. There was a householder who planted a vineyard, and set a hedge around it, and dug a wine press in it, and built a tower, and let it out to tenants, and went into another country. 34When the season of fruit drew near, he sent his servants to the tenants, to get his fruit; 35and the tenants took his servants and beat one, killed another, and stoned another. 36Again he sent other servants, more than the first; and they did the same to them. 37Afterward he sent his son to them, saying, They will respect my son.' 38But when the tenants saw the son, they said to themselves, This is the heir; come, let us kill him and have his inheritance.’ 39And they took him and cast him out of the vineyard, and killed him. 40When therefore the owner of the vineyard comes, what will he do to those tenants?" 41They said to him, “He will put those wretches to a miserable death, and let out the vineyard to other tenants who will give him the fruits in their seasons.” (Matthew 21:33-41)
 
You know, picking apart passages from various books in the Bible, saying that Christians “claim” this or that and citing those passages, is not really argument.

You say, “Christians believe this” yet you are not really giving Christian teaching, but your own interpretation of what you THINK we think, and then attempting to shoot down YOUR INTERPRETATION of what you think we think, etc.
