The Holy Spirit is God Acts 5:3-4



3: But Peter said Ananias why have you allowed Satan to fill your heart to lie to the Holy Ghost and to keep back part of the price of the land 4: While it remained was it not your own and after it was sold was it not in your own power why have you conceived this thing in your heart you have not lied to men but to Theos[1]


[1] The two verses taken together, Acts 5:3-4, comprise a clear statement about the deity of the Holy Ghost. The Holy Spirit is part of the Godhead. Therefore the Holy Spirit is YHWH. Peter asked Ananias why he had lied to the Holy Ghost, and then goes on to state that he had not lied to people but to God. Lying to the Holy Spirit is lying to God, because the Holy Spirit is God.
