How did they distinguish the spirit of God from the Lord God?

Why do you ask, is there something that Paul teaches that causes you disharmony ?
I find nothing wrong in what Paul teaches.

Some people think Paul effed up the Christian church.

Yes, why yes he does. All that nonsense about women not speaking, and "submitting" to their husbands.
His sexism, homophobia, obsession with purity and pathological hatred of "the flesh" and intellectualism (or just learning in general). He was a disturbed person.

Anybody know who Ethel is?
No need to rethink. God does not have dimensions.
Two sides of the same coin of the one and only one God. The spirit of God is God and God is the spirit of God. Judaism, Islam and the Baha'i Faith make no distinction where there is none to be made.

A farmer and his wife go to a masquerade party dressed as a cow. It got a little hot on the dance floor so they took a stroll out to the pasture.
The wife noticed a bull rushing over with love on his mind. His wife gasped, Fred! What are we going to do?"
I'm going to pretend I'm eating grass. You should brace yourself, Ethel.

So one can't have three sides of the same coin?
Actually there is no coin only symbolism. There is only one indivisible God with no change left over.

What do you think about Jesus?
The Messiah, spiritually the Son of God as the OT prophesied.
If the Christian faith was based solely on the teachings of Christ without the influence of the NT letters, I doubt there would be so many different denominations. I think it was @Hockeycowboy that made the point that there was some 30,000 different Christian denominations. Most of those differences are based on interpretations of Pauls teachings whereas (to me anyway) the teachings of Jesus were much clearer. I think that without the writings of Paul (which BTW, Paul was writing letters not scripture), Christianity would be much clearer and simpler. IMHO of course.
