The concept of the Trinity entails that attributes of God are shared by Jesus and the holy spirit, implying that those similar attributes make them co-equal. However, a great many verses also apply those same attributes to other individuals in Scripture. Thus, upon considering a given attribute, if it applies to God and to other people, that doesn’t make those other people equal to God.
Verses: Isa. 43:11; Acts 5:31; Ezra 7:12; 1 Tim 6:15; 1 Chron. 29:20; Col. 2:9; 3:13; 1 John 1:9; Eph. 3:19; 1 Cor. 11:7; 2 Cor. 4:4; John 17:14
