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?

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.
