Your claim is that the gospels are clear that the holy spirit is God the father doing miracles, so lets stay with that claim before we move on.
There is no verse that states clearly that the Holy Spirit is God the father doing miracles, so you are starting with a false premise.
So, what do the gospels clearly state?
Luke 11:13
13 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children: how much more shall your heavenly Father give the Holy Spirit to them that ask him? |
Jesus said that the heavenly Father would give the Holy Spirit to those that ask.
Jesus is saying that someone else, the heavenly Father, would give something else, the Holy Spirit, to those that ask.
Jesus did not say Jesus would give Jesus to those that ask.
So, what was Jesus talking about when He said the Father would give the Holy Spirit?
The answer is found in the Old Testament:
Exodus 31:1-3
1And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying,
2 See, I have called by name Bezaleel the son of Uri, the son of Hur, of the tribe of Judah:
3 And I have filled him with the spirit of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship, |
Both Jesus and God say that being filled with the Holy Spirit will provide the person with abilities that they wouldn't have without the Holy Spirit in them.
This is also seen in the book of Acts:
Acts 8:14-20
14 Now when the apostles which were at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had received the word of God, they sent unto them Peter and John:
15 Who, when they were come down, prayed for them, that they might receive the Holy Ghost:
16 (For as yet he was fallen upon none of them: only they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus.)
17 Then laid they their hands on them, and they received the Holy Ghost.
18 And when Simon saw that through laying on of the apostles' hands the Holy Ghost was given, he offered them money,
19 Saying, Give me also this power, that on whomsoever I lay hands, he may receive the Holy Ghost.
20 But Peter said unto him, Thy money perish with thee, because thou hast thought that the gift of God may be purchased with money. |
