Emusan: You can see the reason why your lying liar can't provide the link. Just soo shameful how you can lie plainly just continue to defend this man made doctrines.
Here is a Catholic member telling you openly that, that's not what Catholic encyclopedia says about Holy Spirit.
So, where did you get your own encyclopedia that you keep posting up and down
You can't counter it but only to open your dirty mouth
Shameless lying liar JWs like your father the Devil.
cc: freshboi88 Emusan LIENUS  . Did Ubenedictus tell you this points where not in the Catholic Encyclopedia? Says the New Catholic Encyclopedia. When a quasi-personal activity is ascribed to God’s spirit, e.g., speaking, hindering, desiring, dwelling (Acts 8.29; 16.7; Rom 8.9), one is not justified in concluding immediately that in these passages God’s spirit is regarded as a Person; the same expressions are used also in regard to rhetorically personified things or abstract ideas (see Rom 8.6; 7.17). [Which other activities are you now claiming is attributive to a personality? lazy youth, Pathetic LYING Dullard DECEIVING himself  |

I understand your views and it will be hard to even reason with you. Many a times we have been given wrong interpretation towards certain portions of the Scriptures and we tend to use certain words which are not not even written as God's word or having a scriptural backing.

The record is there Bros. In the old testament, holy spirit is not a person. In the new testament, there is no record of holy spirit at God's left hand.  |

Tcwork: You seem to be writing another bible. A saviour is a saviour. The bible never spoke about or differentiated the classes of saviours. You are now using human wisdom to create classes of saviours In your Bible is Othniel a saviour? In your Bible is Jesus a Saviour. In your Bible is Jehovah a Saviour? Why do you label the words in your Bible "human wisdom"? |

Ubenedictus: no dear, the catholic encyclopedia i have says that in those text the holy spirit is a person not just personified
Many other texts declare quite as clearly that the Holy Ghost is a Person, a Person distinct from the Father and the Son, and yet One God with Them. In several places St. Paul speaks of Him as if speaking of God. In Acts 28:25, he says to the Jews: "Well did the Holy Ghost speak to our fathers by Isaias the prophet"; now the prophecy contained in the next two verses is taken from Isaiah 6:9-10, where it is put in the mouth of the "King the Lord of hosts". In other places he uses the words God and Holy Ghost as plainly synonymous. Thus he writes (1 Corinthians 3:16): "Know you not, that you are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?" and in 6:19: "Or know you not, that your members are the temple of the Holy Ghost, who is in you . . . ?" St. Peter asserts the same identity when he thus remonstrates with Ananias (Acts 5:3-4): "Why hath Satan tempted thy heart, that thou shouldst lie to the Holy Ghost . . . ? Thou hast not lied to men, but to God." The sacred writers attribute to the Holy Ghost all the works characteristic of Divine power. It is in His name, as in the name of the Father and of the Son, that baptism is to be given (Matthew 28:19). It is by His operation that the greatest of Divine mysteries, the Incarnation of the Word, is accomplished (Matthew 1:18, 20; Luke 1:35). It is also in His name and by His power that sins are forgiven and souls sanctified: "Receive ye the Holy Ghost. Whose sins you shall forgive, they are forgiven them" (John 20:22-23); "But you are washed, but you are sanctified, but you are justified in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the Spirit of our God" (1 Corinthians 6:11); "The charity of God is poured forth in our hearts, by the Holy Ghost, who is given to us" (Romans 5:5). He is essentially the Spirit of truth (John 14:16-17; 15:26), Whose office it is to strengthen faith (Acts 6:5), to bestow wisdom (Acts 6:3), to give testimony of Christ, that is to say, to confirm His teaching inwardly (John 15:26), and to teach the Apostles the full meaning of it (John 14:26; 16:13). With these Apostles He will abide for ever (John 14:16). Having descended on them at Pentecost, He will guide them in their work (Acts 8:29), for He will inspire the new prophets (Acts 11:28; 13:9), as He inspired the Prophets of the Old Law (Acts 7:51). He is the source of graces and gifts (1 Corinthians 12:3-11); He, in particular, grants the gift of tongues (Acts 2:4; 10:44-47). And as he dwells in our bodies sanctifies them (1 Corinthians 3:16; 6:19), so will and them he raise them again, one day, from the dead (Romans 8:11). But he operates especially in the soul, giving it a new life (Romans 8:9 sq.), being the pledge that God has given us that we are his children (Romans 8:14-16; 2 Corinthians 1:22; 5:5; Galatians 4:6). He is the Spirit of God, and at the same time the Spirit of Christ (Romans 8:9); because He is in God, He knows the deepest mysteries of God (1 Corinthians 2:10-11), and He possesses all knowledge. St. Paul ends his Second Epistle to the Corinthians (13:13) with this formula of benediction, which might be called a blessing of the Trinity: "The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the charity of God, and the communication of the Holy Ghost be with you all." — Cf. Tixeront, "Hist. des dogmes", Paris, 1905, I, 80, 89, 90, 100, 101.  |

bixton: Please point to where the contradiction lies......
God Almighty....noted. The opinion that gets entitled is that which corresponds to the word of God.
A son cannot be a servant of his father except he is illegitimate.
Matt.3.17 - And suddenly a voice came from heaven, saying, "This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."
If the Father referred to Jesus as His son and not his servant who am I to say differently.
We should try to understand the context of words as used in the Scripture.
Thanks. God's blessing. Jesus is not Almighty God.. in your opinion, wrong. Jesus is son of God, right. God Almighty is son of God... Contradiction.. Acts 3:13.. the same Greek word means "son/servant".
servant Παῖδα (Paida) Noun - Accusative Masculine Singular Strong's Greek 3816: Perhaps from paio; a boy, or, a girl, and a child; specially, a slave or servant
Matthew 12:15-18. Isaiah 42:1.. Jesus Christ is Jehovah's Servant. |

bixton: Noted.
Is there any difference between a servant and a son? If there is kindly explain. Thanks. All Servants are creatures of the true God. Only the true God, Yahweh, is not a Servant to anyone. Every other being exist to do his bidding. In the old testament, Jesus is "angel of Yahweh" (often called "angel of the Lord"  . Job38:7 & Revelation 22:16, Jesus Christ is a morning Star ("angel"  .. go figure  |

Exodus 12:12, 1 Corinthians 8:5, Jehovah recognize there are gods (whether you capitalize it or not, Theo's is theo's, Elohim is elohim. There is no upper case /Lower case dichotomy in greek or Hebrew.). There is only one true God. He is not Jesus Christ. John 17:3, Jesus said so. |

Your Church publication provided ample evidence Scriptural evidence. It's the same fact in both the old testament and the new testament.The New Catholic Encyclopedia New Catholic Encyclopedia proof... In the old testament, holy spirit is NOT a person... Any attribute of emotion or intellectual activity to God's holy spirit are mere figures of speech..," The New Testament The majority of N[ew] T[estament] texts reveal God’s spirit as something, not someone; [/b]this is especially seen in the parallelism between the spirit and the power of God.

and the Son = the Father, therefore, the Son is correct when He says He bears witness of Himself...
