All sin separates us from God.

re: “The Holy Spirit is not a person.”

The New Testament teaches that the Holy Spirit can:
1. Be grieved. (Ephesians 4:30)
2. Be lied to. (Acts 5:3
3. He teaches. (John 14:26)
4. Speak. (Acts 8:29)
5. Searches everything and knows God’s thoughts. (1 Corinthians 2:10-11)
6. He apportions spiritual gifts. (1 Corinthians 12:11)
7. He intercedes for us. (Romans 8:26-27)
8. He (as the Helper sent by Jesus) will convict the world of sin, of righteousness, and of judgement. (John 16:7-9)

There are others, but it seems clear that the Holy Spirit acts, speaks, can be grieved, teaches, etc. He is a Person and Co-Equal with the Father and the Son.

The Word of God is very clear in making the Holy Spirit a person..... to deny that would actually be to deny the Trinity, which is one of the unique and greatest doctrines of the Christian faith.

God forgives sin. God offers fellowship to the Sinner. Jesus bridges the gap of separation.

>> The Holy Spirit is not a person. <<

Oh?

"And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter^{of the same kind as Myself},
that he may abide with you for ever;
Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him:
but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. . . .
But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things,
and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you" (Jn. 14:16-17,26 AV; my comments and bolded emphases added).

Jesus said, and the Holy Scripture records it for all to read, that the Holy Spirit is a person Whose Name/Title is grammatically neuter; though He is in fact, like Jesus, masculine in Person and Being.

"Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name^{neuter, singular} of the Father,^{masculine, singular},
and of the Son^{masculine, singular}, and of the Holy Ghost^{neuter, singular}: . . ." (Mt. 28:19 AV; grammar facts in superscript added).

Your claim is incorrect, and a sin of ignorance.

The Holy Spirit is not a human; the Holy Spirit is a person.

Similarly, the Father is not male; the Father is masculine.

C. S. Lewis is one lay philosopher who understood these things (better than many modern, so-called theologians).

The Holy Spirit is not a person.

Umm, yes the Holy Spirit is a person, equal to and one with Jesus, who is a person, and God the Father, who is a person. All are one in Essence, but also "God in three persons." (as the hymn, "Holy, holy, holy" says).

The whole doctrine of the trinity is that God is one, in 3 persons. (Not human persons, yes, except for Jesus, but "persons" none-the-less.) The very concept of personhood is derived from the Christian understanding of the 3 persons of the holy trinity, God.

This is basic Christian orthodoxy, which all Christian groups have accepted since AD 381.

If you don't accept it, you're simply not an orthodox Christian.
