[Titus Quinctius Cincinnatus]

Nowhere does Scripture spell out that the Holy Spirit is a person, much less the Third Person of the Blessed Trinity, consubstantial with the Father and the Son.

Why is "He" referred to as a "he" in the Greek throughout the NT then? Why can "He" be grieved, quenched, lied to, etc.? Why does I John 5:7 - which IS a genuine part of Scripture, btw - say that these three are one, which certainly suggests ontological unity?

Why do you insist on asking such tough questions ;o)

And why did the God head in the beginning say let us create man in our image? And through out the bible it is required a wittiness of two or more to confirm a fact if God requires it of us then it is a requirement of Himselves.

In many early manuscripts (and commentators), the section “in heaven: the Father, the Word and Holy Spirit; an these three are one. And there are three that bear witness on earth” does not appear.
