For a person who claims that they are strong in the faith seems to dodge simple questions.

Again, do you believe that Jesus Is God and a separate Being from the Father?

That is not what you said. You added


Father is Spirit. And the Holy Spirit? Jesus? One God, three persons.

God IS Spirit. God IS Holy. God IS Agape (Love). The Holy Spirit of Agape IS God.

John 4:24King James Version (KJV)
24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

Psalm 99:8-9 King James Version (KJV)
8 Thou answeredst them, O Lord our God: thou wast a God that forgavest them, though thou tookest vengeance of their inventions.
9 Exalt the Lord our God, and worship at his holy hill; for the Lord our God is holy.

1 John 4:7-8 (King James Version)
7Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God, and every one that loveth is born of God and knoweth God.
8He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.(Agape)

1 Timothy 4:7
But refuse profane and old wives' fables, and exercise thyself rather unto godliness.

2 Timothy 4:4
And they shall turn away their ears from the truth, and shall be turned unto fables.

Titus 1:14
Not giving heed to Jewish fables, and commandments of men, that turn from the truth.

2 Peter 1:16
For we have not followed cunningly devised fables, when we made known unto you the power and coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, but were eyewitnesses of his majesty.
Where did Jesus say the 'fables' were in reference to the OT?

You seem to be a prime example of what the OP is talking about.

Are you under the impression they are different?

"Endless genealogies"? You honestly don't think that is talking about the Old Testament?

The Hebrews were keen record keepers, so there is no reason to ASSUME it refers to the OT.

Not sure if Gnosticism qualifies as a 'movement' today, but it is here. Note the many ancient texts translated that are available in English:

So, you won’t answer the simple question is there a God the Gather, God the Son, God of Holy Spirit. Neither will the other poster.

Treating Jesus as something other than Son of God is rejecting Him.

Matthew 21
Not everyone who says to me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ will enter the kingdom of heaven, but only the one who does the will of my Father who is in heaven. 22 Many will say to me on that day, ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in your name and in your name drive out demons and in your name perform many miracles?’ 23 Then I will tell them plainly, ‘I never knew you. Away from me, you evildoers!’
