There are those that say there is no Trinity. My question now is, "Is the Holy Spirit a part of a Bipartite God?"

Bipartite God?

This question would only apply to someone who denies the trinity, but believes in the holy spirit. I would be interested in meeting such a person.
The Holy Spirit/Creator/Source/universal intelligence, love and light "is" God...There is no trinity..

Jesus didn't refer to automobiles, so they must not exist either. So just what is the Holy Spirit. Jesus did refer to that.

Not necessarily unless the same argument that denies Jesus as an aspect of God also denies the Holy Spirit as a separate but equal part as well.fantôme profane;3485278 said:

That doesn't address the question.

What the heck does that mean?

Which is?
Just Wikipedia 'flilioque' and read about it.
I assume that is what you are asking about?
It'll mean more to ya if you make sense of it for yourself.
If you don't understand, come back and ask me another question.
Peace.

Perhaps you just give your Cliff's Notes version and explain the relevance to the OP.
Filioque Latin for "and (from) the Son", is a phrase included in the form of the Niceno-Constantinopolitan Creed (commonly called the Nicene Creed) used in most Western Christian churches since at least the 8th century.
It was accepted by the popes only in 1014, and is rejected by the Eastern Orthodox Church and Oriental Orthodox Churches.
It was not in the Greek text of this Creed, attributed to the Second Ecumenical Council (the First Council of Constantinople), which says that the Holy Spirit proceeds "from the Father", without additions of any kind, such as "and the Son" or "alone":
Greek:
And in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, from the Father proceeding.
Latin:
And in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, and giver of life, who from the Father and the Son proceeds.
Essentially the Trinity becomes a biparite, in that it puts God the Father and God the Son on one consubstantial level and brings God the Holy Spirit to a subordinate one, instead of all Three sharing in the Co-equality of the Trinity.
Does that help?

A majority of Christian Unitarians believe in God and the Holy spirit. They tend to be agnostic on the relationship of God to Jesus. With most following the teachings of Jesus with out defining his status as the Son of God.
Which is close to my own position.
The relationship of God and the Holy spirit is hard to define. But it is not contrary to Monotheism.
Whatever Jesus meant by it when he asked for it. That's the mystery of seeing the father when you see the son.
Sorry if I wasn't clear.. There is only one God.. God is Spirit.. So the Holy Ghost is God--not part of God, but God..one God...no trinity..
That means that we are all spiritual Beings temporarily in a physical body.. We are created from and by the creator/source..We are part of Him and He is part of us so we are all already one with God and will eventually reunite with our Source..God is all that is, including us, his children...or I could use the term "aspect" for additional clarity--we are all aspects of the creator..
