From Post #10 (last sentence):
siam: I have wondered----on what basis is the Holy Spirit/Holy Ghost judged as "God"?
http://www.theologyweb.com/campus/sh...3593#post53593
a. For to us God revealed them through the Spirit; for the Spirit searches all things, even the depths of God (1 Corinthians 2:10, NASB).
1. Danker: Of the Spirit panta fathoms everything 1 Cor 2:10 (A Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament and Other Early Christian Literature, eraunaw, page 389).
2. Danker: panta all things, everything (1 Corinthians 2:10)(A Greek-English Lexicon of the New Testament and Other Early Christian Literature, pas, page 783).
3. Robertson: Paul's point is simply that the Holy Spirit fully comprehends the depth of God's nature and his plans of grace and so is fully competent to make the revelation here claimed.

4. Vincent: Not, searcheth in order to discover; but of the ever active, accurate, careful sounding of the depths of God by the Spirit.

8. Robert L. Thomas: "The one who searches the reigns and hearts," an allusion to Jer. 17:10 (cf. also Ps. 7:9; Prov. 24:12; Jer. 11:20; 20:12) is a designation for one who has an intimate knowledge of man that pierces below superficial surfaces. Just as in the Jeremiah passage, the point of this self-designation is that divine acquaintance with man's real, secret life forms the basis for an unerring and impartial judgment. Christ has demonstrated such omniscience in His appraisal of and strong words against Jezebel and her children. They cannot hide their evil from Him. The exercise of this divine attribute is spoken of in terms of a search (#59) of nephrous kai kardias.
Footnote#59: in 1 Cor. 2:10, the Holy Spirit searches all things (Revelation 1-7: An Exegetical Commentary, page 224).

b. And coming to us, he took Paul's belt and bound his own feet and hands, and said, "This is what the Holy Spirit says: 'In this way the Jews at Jerusalem will bind the man who owns this belt and deliver him into the hands of the Gentiles.'" (Acts 21:11, NASB).
1. NIDNTT: In Acts 21:11 Agabus (like the prophets of the OT; cf. Isa. 20:2; Jer. 13:1 ff.) carried out a symbolic action with Paul's girdle (a long cloth worn about the waist), to indicate the coming arrest of Paul. "The accompanying word of interpretation 'Thus says the Holy Spirit!' corresponds to the OT 'Thus says Yahweh!'" (E. Haenchen, The Acts of the Apostles, 1971, 602) (3:121, Ready, F. Selter).
2. John Gill: and said, thus saith the Holy Ghost; who was in Agabus, and spoke by him, and foretold some things to come to pass; and which did come to pass, and is a proof of the foreknowledge, and so of the deity of the blessed Spirit:
