If Filled with Holy Spirit can man become God

Since Jesus was filled with Holy spirit, He is god- son of God- and possess Godhead,' argue the Christians.

Why don't the Christians who elevate Jesus to the status of God because he was full of holy spirit, consider the case of ever so many persons who are said t have possessed Holy spirit in the Bible.

Listen to what bible says:

John  baptized Jesus and was his guide. regarding John the Bible says :

" For he will be great in the sight of the Lord, and shall drink neither wine nor strong drink. He will also filled with the holy spirit even from this mother's womb" (Luke 1:15)

" Now his father Zechariah was filled with the holy spirit and prophesied" (Luke 1:67)

These two verses state that Zechariah and his son John were filled with holy spirit. The Christians don't believe them to be gods or god's sons. Why is it so?

" And it happened, when Elizabeth heard the greeting of Mary, that the babe leaped in her womb and Elishabeth was filled with the holy spirit" (Luke 1:41)

John was filled with holy spirit; so also his father Zechariahs and his mother Elizabeth. Is it fair and justifiable to forget and discriminate those who had been thus hereditarily filled with holy spirits?

John who was older than Jesus  by six month and was his teacher too was never said to be their god by the Christians. why?

" The Jesus was led up by the spirit into wilderness to be tempted by the devil" (Mathew 4:1)

Starting  from this verse there are others too to say that the holy spirit had deserted Jesus and he was tempted by the devil.

 " Then Jesus when he had been baptized, came up immediately from the water, and behold the heavens were opened t him and he saw the spirit of God descending like a dove and alighting on him " (Mathew 3:16)

According to this verse, Jesus was not filled with the holy spirit before he was baptized . But in the case of John, there was no such separation between him and the holy spirit.

Now who deserves to be the son of God?

Just see who are all the other filled with the holy spirit.

" For it is not you who speak, but the spirit of your father who speaks in you" (Mathew 10:20)

Are the disciples of Jesus who speak through the holy spirit in them, Gods?

Were Judas Iscariot who betrayed Jesus, and Peter who disbelieved Jesus, filled with holy spirit?

" And behold there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Suireou, and this man was just and devout, waiting for the consolation of Israel and the holy spirit was upon him" (Luke 2:25)

" And we are his witnesses to these things, and so also is the holy spirit who God has given to those who obey him" (Acts 5:32)

" For he (Barnabas) was a good man full of the holy spirit and of faith " (Acts 11:24)

" ....................... and they chose Stephen a man full of faith and the holy spirit and Philip, Prochorus, Nicavor, Tuinon, Pramenas, and Nicolas, a proselyte from Antioch " (Acts 6:5)

" That good thing which was committed to you, keep by the holy spirit who dwell in us " (II Timothy1:14)

".....and the Holy Ghost was upon on him (Simeon)" . (Luke 2:26)

" For prophesy never came by the will of man, but holy man of god spoke as they were moved by the holy spirit" (2 Peter 1:21)

The Bible refers to countless persons thus filled with holy spirit. What is then the Justification to consider Jesus alone among those filled with holy spirit, as a god?

What exactly is the meaning of  " Being filled with holy spirit" 

Does it denote Godhead? Never of course. Those who surrender themselves to God and consider them as his true slaves are the ones said to be filled with the holy spirit. This can be discerned from the verse Acts 5:32 referred to above.

When those other than Jesus filled with holy spirit area considered to be righteous people, how do the Christians believe Jesus alone as god? What exactly is the basis for such a belief? Will the Christian brethren please clarify?   

Actually to be frank, even if others filled with the holy spirit were said to be gods, Jesus cannot be considered so. there is evidence to his effect in the Bible

" God cannot be tempted by evil" (James 1:13)

This verse empathically asserts that God can not be tempted by evil. But the Bible says that Jesus had been tempted by the devil several times (Refer Mathew 4: 1-10)

Though Jesus was filled with holy spirit he had been tempted by the devil. Actually God cannot be tempted by devil. Therefore is there any justification, even a mere trace of it, it believing Jesus as god? Please do think over.

Keeping side a while the reverence and regard that have been imbibed from childhood, if the Bible believed to be gospel, is delved into unbiasedly , the conclusion could not be but that Jesus is neither god nor the son of god and the Fact that he was a righteous man would decisively be established.
