All things were created by him and for him. Heb 1:2 the entire universe was created by Jesus Christ�therefore he is God. OT: God is the creator NT: Jesus is the Creator Logically, then, Jesus is God. Jn 8:58 Before Abraham was born, I AM (Exodus 3:14) they picked up stones to stone him. Jn 10:30 I and the Father are one. Clear enough? Read through vs. 33. Coll 2:9 The fullness of deity lives in bodily form. (NWT: Because it was in him that all the fullness of the divine quality dwells bodily) Not a single Greek scholar will support the NWT Jn 20:28 My Lord and my God. Titus 2:13 Our great God and savior, Jesus Christ (NWT: the Great God and of the savior of us, Jesus Christ) Isaiah 43:11 God says that only he saves God our savior and Jesus Christ our savior used interchangeable in Titus Phil 2:5,6 Who being in very nature God. Zech 12:10 They will look on me, the one they have pierced? (NWT look to the one whom they pierced) Isaiah 9:6,7 Heb 1:6 angels are commanded to worship (proskuneo) Jesus. Only God is to be worshipped, yet Jesus clearly accepts worship�also found in Revelation. Look at how the Holy Spirit is described in Scripture: The Holy Spirit speaks. "The Spirit clearly says . . ." -- 1 Timothy 4:1 "The Spirit told Philip, 'Go to that chariot . . . .'" -- Acts 8:29 "While Peter was still thinking about the vision, the Spirit said to him, 'Simon, three men . . .'" Acts 10:19 "The Holy Spirit said, 'Set apart . . . " -- Acts 13:2 The Holy Spirit actively teaches. "The Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things" -- John 14:26 The Holy Spirit gives testimony. "The Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father, he will testify about me" -- John 14:26 The Holy Spirit guides, hears, speaks, and tells. "When he, the Spirit of truth, comes, He will guide you. . . He will speak only what He hears and He will tell you what is yet to come" -- John 16:13 (look at all those personal persons in that passage; there's no "it" among them) The Holy Spirit forbids. "Having been kept by the Holy Spirit from preaching the Word . . . the Spirit of Jesus would not allow them" -- Acts 16:6-7 The Holy Spirit intercedes or prays. "The Spirit Himself intercedes for us . . . The Spirit intercedes for the saints in accordance with God's will" -- Romans 8:26-27 All six of these characteristics point to the Holy Spirit being a person. Does "wind" or "influence" or a "force" do these things? That's not all. There are more characteristics of the Holy Spirit that demonstrate His personhood. The Holy Spirit has a mind. "He knows the mind of the Spirit" -- Romans 8:27 The Holy Spirit has active knowledge. "The Spirit searches all things, even the deep things of God" -- 1 Corinthians 1:10. Would an "active force" be said to search all things? The Holy Spirit possesses affection. "by the love of the Spirit" -- Romans 15:30. Would an "active force" be said to love? The Holy Spirit has a will. "He gives them to each one, just as He determines" 1 Corinthians 12:11. Could an "active force" or influence make decisions like this Scripture describes? Don't these last four characteristics signify that the Holy Spirit possesses intelligence and personality? For instance, have you ever known an impersonal force that "loved" something or someone? Then, there is the fact that Scripture says the Holy Spirit can suffer personal slights and injuries. Can an impersonal force be offended in the following ways? The Holy Spirit can be grieved. "Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God" -- Ephesians 4:30 The Holy Spirit can be blasphemed. "The blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven" -- Matthew 12:31-32 The Holy Spirit can be insulted. "who has insulted the Spirit of grace" -- Hebrews 10:29 The Holy Spirit can be lied to. "You have lied to the Holy Spirit" -- Acts 5:3 The Holy Spirit can be resisted. "You always resist the Holy Spirit" -- Acts 7:51 One could possibly say that one or two of these do not constitute proof of the personality of the Holy Spirit. But when you look at all of them together, that long list of 15 items becomes evidence that could be admitted in a court of law. Look again at all the ways the Bible describes the Holy Spirit. In light of this list, doesn't it seem ludicrous to say the Holy Spirit is simply an impersonal influence or force?
