Is God the Father God the Holy Spirit?The answer to this no, as clearly stated by St. Thomas Aquinas, The Council of Trent and the Magisterium of the Church.The First Person of the Trinity is not The Third Person of the Trinity.
That is not what St. Thomas Aquinas teaches.
In fact he teaches the opposite and that these are not three but one God.
St. Thomas Aquinas begins his teaching on the Trinity by asserting that "God is Father, God is Son, and God is Holy Spirit," and that these are not three but one God. Further, God's Word is also part of his existence. Aquinas calls speech the offspring of the intellect, which he conceives as its father.

Do you see your parents on Christmas?Yes, but they dont really share the Christmas spirit. Maybe because they are muslims.
How do you celebrate each others presence knowing both think the other is going to hell?

You asked: Is Father God the Holy Spirit?
1. Is God the Father God the Holy Spirit?
Or
2. Is God the Father a spirit and holy?
All three should be yes because they are asking the same thing.

Albert Einstein, Boris Podolsky and Nathan Rosen pointed out an apparent problem with quantum entanglement in 1935 that prompted Einstein to describe quantum entanglement as 'spooky action at a distance.
The Einstein–Podolsky–Rosen (EPR) paradox is a thought experiment proposed by physicists Albert Einstein, Boris Podolsky and Nathan Rosen, which argues that the description of physical reality provided by quantum mechanics is incomplete.

What was Einstein's problem with quantum mechanics?
Einstein saw Quantum Theory as a means to describe Nature on an atomic level, but he doubted that it upheld "a useful basis for the whole of physics." He thought that describing reality required firm predictions followed by direct observations.

Other passage in the New Testament are clear on this issue as well. Romans 1:18-32and 1 Corinthians 6:1-20are good places to start.They are not good places to start, as those arent words of Jesus, so irrelevant to Jesus's words.
Its prove both the Old and New Testament condemned homosexuality.
Jesus condemned “all” sexual activity outside of marriage between a man and woman when He said, “Out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications…these defile a man” (Matthew 15:19). Jesus was implying that all sexual activity outside of marriage between a man and a woman is harmful and immoral. The word “fornication” in the Greek is porneia; where the word “pornography” comes from. We cannot say, “But I was born this way,” because we were all born to lie, cheat, lust, and deceive, but this doesn’t make it right...it makes us sinful and in need of a Savior.
An argument cannot be based solely on silence. To suggest that Jesus approved of homosexuality simply because He did not use the term “homosexual,” is to imply that He approved of necrophilia, pedophilia, incest, and bestiality. But, of course, we know better.

Canada is really a borderless and multicultural economic zone with little patriotism.
Why is Canada so patriotic?
Since the 1960s, most proponents of Canadian nationalism have advocated a civic nationalism due to Canada's cultural diversity that specifically has sought to equalize citizenship,
Canadian Culture
Honesty
Tolerance
Fairness
Unity in diversity
Modesty
Informality
Sensitivity
Known as ‘the just society’, Canada’s culture is underpinned by its tolerance, respect and community-orientation. Canadians are generally individualistic, yet they also emphasise and value everyone’s contribution to their community. This has translated into the nation’s role on the global stage; it has been involved in all of the UN’s peacekeeping missions and is a big donor to foreign aid. In many ways, Canada leads by example – something its people take pride in. Canadians tend to see themselves as reasonable and inclusive people. They are generally very polite.
Canada is heavily influenced by its proximity to the USA. As a large majority of Canadians live within 100km of the Canada/USA border, there are similarities in behaviour and accent. Canadians share the informality, freedom of expression, pioneer spirit (particularly in the north of the country) and entrepreneurial imagination of the USA. Yet, Canadians tend to be noticeably more modest, indirect and considered in voicing their opinions. Canadian society has also harnessed cultural diversity as a source of unity in a distinct manner.

I understand that the perspective the is supposed to provide is that everyone can thrive under socialism but it's still an unfair way of displaying the argument numerically. I'd actually also argue that a pure socialist government is unfair to its people just on the basics of the ideology.
Which is better, capitalism or socialism?
The data indicated that the socialist countries generally have achieved better PQL outcomes than the capitalist countries at equivalent levels of economic development.

Trump was just bragging in that quote about his support. He wasn't bragging about shooting people in order to gain more support. Otherwise he clearly would have shot a ton of people in 2020 instead of losing.
The first time Trump said he could shoot someone and he wouldn’t lose voters. He won in 2016.
The second time he forgot to say it and lost in 2020.
The third time he was shot before he could say it and he still won 2024..

The only thing it means is that Jesus didnt speak against homosexuality. He also didnt speak about ice cream.
Jesus condemned “all” sexual activity outside of marriage between a man and woman when He said, “Out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications…these defile a man” (Matthew 15:19). Jesus was implying that all sexual activity outside of marriage between a man and a woman is harmful and immoral. The word “fornication” in the Greek is porneia; where the word “pornography” comes from. We cannot say, “But I was born this way,” because we were all born to lie, cheat, lust, and deceive, but this doesn’t make it right...it makes us sinful and in need of a Savior.

Other passage in the New Testament are clear on this issue as well. Romans 1:18-32and 1 Corinthians 6:1-20are good places to start. In short, mankind did not see fit to acknowledge God and they suppressed the truth; therefore, God gave them over to a depraved mind—to do those things which are not proper. Homosexual behavior, and sexual sin in general, is comparable with dishonoring the body and turning from God. “The sexual disordering of the human race is a judgment of God for exchanging Him for the creature” (John Piper).
Jesus said that since the beginning of creation, God created them male and female in order that they would be joined together and become one flesh. He adds, “Therefore what God has joined together, let not man separate” (Mark 10:9). Marriage between a man and a woman is God’s plan since creation. No matter how many laws are passed in favor of gay-marriage, it will not change God’s mind. Man often rebels against God; this is nothing new.

So by your response you're saying no the Father is not holy nor spirit. Blasphemy.
God is a spirit and appears to us as the Holy Spirit. The two are one.
Trying understanding what the Catholics are saying about the Trinity.
Is God the Father, and the Holy Spirit the same?
The doctrine of the Trinity means there is only one God, yet He exists in three distinct Persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. Understanding the difference between these three distinct Persons helps us grasp the complexity and unity of God's nature.

You believe there is no error in true believers of Christ to celebrate Christmas, is that right?
Christmas is a very old Christian celebration.
The church in Rome began celebrating Christmas on December 25 in the 4th century during the reign of Constantine, the first Christian emperor, possibly to weaken pagan traditions.
Why do Christians celebrate Christmas on 25 December?
The most common story around Christmas observation was when Mary, the mother of Jesus, was told that she will be having a special child from the Lord. It is said that Mother Mary got this prediction on March 25 and nine months later on December 25 Jesus was born.

Does the scripture support homosexuality?Be mature and intelligent for once and respond only with yes or no.Does the scripture support homosexuality?
Romans 1:26–27, 1 Corinthians 6:9–10, 1 Timothy 1:9–10 and Jude 1:7 – have been taken to condemn same-sex intercourse
Certain modern terms like beastiality, homosexuality, incest etc were not explicitly used in the Bible. But they were reference as unlawful acts.
The Jewish law provides a long list of what constitutes unlawful sexual intercourse in Leviticus 18-20. According to those statutes, a man was forbidden to have sex with the following:
1. His neighbour’s wife (Leviticus 18:21)
2. Another man (Leviticus 18:22) (homosexuality)
3. An animal (Leviticus 18:23) (beastiality)
4. His mother in law (Leviticus 20:11)
5. His daughter in law (Leviticus 20:12)
6. His sister (Leviticus 20:17)
Sex with any of these would be considered porneia – unlawful.
Homosexual' Has Always Been in the Bible?
The word “arsenokoitai” shows up in two different verses in the bible, but it was not translated to mean “homosexual” until 1946.
Both references in the Hebrew Bible and the New Testament have been interpreted as referring primarily to male homosexual individuals and sexual practices, though the term homosexual was never used as it was not coined until the 19th century.
Did Jesus mention homosexuality?
Does Jesus Ever Talk About Homosexuality? -
1. Jesus did speak about sex and marriage. While it is true that Jesus never specifically mentions homosexuality, it doesn’t mean that He had nothing to say about sexuality or marriage. Jesus employs the K.I.S.S. method[1] and consistently points His listeners back to how things were in the beginning, with male and female, united for life, not to be separated (Mark 10:2-9Open in Logos Bible Software (if available)). But some people assume that since He didn’t specifically mention homosexuality that must mean He was at least ambivalent about it. Such a conclusion does not give enough weight to what Jesus did say or why He only addressed certain topics. (For example, He didn’t say anything about bestiality or incest, either. To be consistent with this argument, you’d have to argue that He was on the fence about those things, too.)

When we take an honest look, there appear to be underlying patterns and forms in nature, predetermined genetic pathways. Rather than primary instruction sets, genes are revealed to be modifying influences selecting from a limited number of possible solutions intrinsic in life forms. Life shows itself to be based on self-organizing principles that adhere to underlying patterns of form. It is not just the same gene complex creating wolves in both Australia and elsewhere after millions of years but also different genes producing homologous organs as they follow underlying laws of form. Arms, legs, wings, and flippers have evolved in completely dissimilar creatures for entirely different purposes, yet they have developed profoundly similar designs. Science has obviously ignored some basic principle underlying the whole process.Ideas?Same research that led to the conclusion humans evolved from Apes. And birds from dinosaurs.
They are finding dinosaur bones in New York proving once again apes came from Europe according to Darwin.

They are the same Substantially.They are not the same person.All are God. Each one is God. But they are not each other. We cannot say the Father appears as the Holy Spirit. That would imply they are the same Person.
Your explanation goes against the Monotheism in Judaism and Christianity.

: the doctrine or belief that there is but one God; historically related forms of monotheism as Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.

How did December 25 become Christmas? We cannot be entirely sure. Elements of the festival that developed from the fourth century until modern times may well derive from pagan traditions. Yet the actual date might really derive more from Judaism—from Jesus’ death at Passover, and from the rabbinic notion that great things might be expected, again and again, at the same time of the year—than from paganism. Then again, in this notion of cycles and the return of God’s redemption, we may perhaps also be touching upon something that the pagan Romans who celebrated Sol Invictus, and many other peoples since, would have understood and claimed for their own, too

The gene hasn't yet been found, but his study found that many pairs of gay brothers shared a marker at this particular region of their genetic makeup. Also, in finding that homosexuality seemed to be a sex-linked trait, biology again seems to lend causation. Although the exact mechanism is at this point still shrouded in mystery, researchers are continuing to search for the true cause of homosexuality.
If homosexuality is genetic and naturally occurring. Does that mean it will be legalized?

It's possible through MRNA technology to alter hormone levels and create more gay people like us.MRNA technology can be used to alter hormone levels by delivering instructions to specific cells in the body to produce or regulate certain hormones. For example, mRNA can target cells in the endocrine glands, such as the hypothalamus, pituitary, or gonads, to modify the production of hormones like testosterone, estrogen, or other neurosteroids that influence brain development and behavior. When a Biocorp adjusts hormonal signals during critical periods of development or even later in life, it will influence factors associated with sexual orientation. We currently have a highly advanced understanding of the genetic and epigenetic factors underlying sexual orientation, as well as precise delivery mechanisms to avoid systemic side effects. However, the ethical, biological, and psychological implications of such interventions would be profound and controversial if the public were aware of this.
The use of puberty blockers and hormones to treat children with gender dysphoria, or distress resulting from an incongruence between a person's gender identity and the sex they were assigned at birth, has been banned or restricted in 26 states.
