    But THE PARAKLEETOS, THE SPIRIT THE HOLY, which the Father will send in My name, THAT ONE will TEACH you all things & bring back to your minds all the things I told you. Jn.14:26

    When THE PARAKLEETOS arrives that I will send you from the Father, THE SPIRIT of THE TRUTH, which proceeds from the Father, THAT ONE will BEAR WITNESS about Me... Jn.15:26,27

    WHOEVER SPEAKS AGAINST THE SPIRIT THE HAGIOU, it will NOT BE FORGIVEN him, NO, NOT in this system of things NOR in that to come. Mt.12:32

    "Ananias, why has Satan embolden you TO LIE TO THE SPIRIT THE HAGION ...?... You have LIED, not to men, but TO GOD." Acts 5:3,4

    As they publicly ministering to the Lord & fasting, THE SPIRIT THE HAGION SAID: "Of all persons set Barnabas & Saul apart for ME for the work to which I HAVE CALLED THEM." Acts 13:2

    you have an anointing from THE HAGIOU One... 1Jn.2:20

    ONE body there is, & ONE SPIRIT, even as you were called in the ONE hope..., ONE KURIOS, ONE faith, ONE baptism, ONE GOD & Father of all... Eph.4:4,5

    but the KURIOS The Spirit IS & where The Spirit of the KURION is, there is FREEDOM. And all of us, while we with unveiled faces reflect like mirrors the glory of KURIOU, are transformed into the same image from glory to glory, exactly as done by KURIOU [the] Spirit. 2Cor.3:17,18

Rom.8:11
    9Makes Alive = ZOOPOIEO 2227-340 For just as The FATHER EGERIE the dead & makes them ZOOPOIEI,

    so The SON also makes those ZOOPOIEI whom He wants to. Jn.5:21

    51Teaches = DIDASKO 1321-150 Jesus set out on a tour of all the cities & villages, DIDAXEI in their synagogues... Mt.9:35 for THE HOLY SPIRIT will DIDAXEI you in that very hour the things you ought to say. Lk.12:11,12

    But The Helper, THE SPIRIT THE HOLY, ... THAT ONE will DIDAXEI you all things & bring back to your minds all the things I told you. Jn.14:26

    52Tested = PEIRAZO 3985-610 Jesus was led by THE SPIRIT ... to be PEIRASTHEENAI by the Devil. Mt.4:1 "Why was it agreed upon between you [two] to PEIRASAI THE SPIRIT of the Lord?" Acts 5:9
    53Thinks = DOKEO 1380-160

    CLICK HERE==> for 24-word chart on DOKEO (E-DOXEN)

    Tell us, therefore, What do YOU DOKEI?... But JESUS, knowing their wickedness, said... Mt.22:17,18 "The apostles & the older brothers to those brothers in Antioch... Greetings! ...we have... E-DOXEN choosing... Barnabas & Paul, men that have delivered up their souls for the name of our LORD JESUS Christ.... IT E-DOXEN (GOOD to) THE SPIRIT THE HOLY & we ourselves...." Acts 15:23,25,26,28
    54Thrusts Out = EKBALLO 1544-222 But the Pharisees began to say: "It is by the ruler of the demons that HE EKBALLEI the demons." Mt.9:34 immediately THE SPIRIT EKBALLEI Him to go into the wilderness. Mk.1:12
    55Wills = BOULOMAI 1014-110 no one fully knows The Son but The Father, neither does anyone fully know The Father but The Son & anyone to whom The SON is BOULEETAI to reveal Him. Mt.11:27

    He does not BOULOUMENOS any to be destroyed but desires all to attain to repentance. 2Pet.3:9

    The MANIFESTATION of THE SPIRIT is given to each one... wisdom... knowledge... faith... healings... powerful works... prophesyings... discerning of spirits... tongues... interpretation of tongues. BUT ALL THESE OPERATIONS THE ONE & THE SAME SPIRIT PERFORMS making a distribution to each one respectively JUST AS IT BOULETAI. 1Cor.12:7-11
    56Witnesses = MARTUS 3144-471 Jesus Christ, "The Faithful MARTUS".... Rev.1:5

    God is MARTUS.... 1Thes.2:5

    WE ARE MARTURES of these matters, & SO IS THE SPIRIT THE HOLY.... Acts 5:32
    57Witnesses thoroughly = DIAMARTUROMAI 1263-146 But A CERTAIN WITNESS - He bore thorough witness - DIEMARTURATO... Heb.2:6 except that from city to city THE SPIRIT THE HOLY DIAMARTURETAI to me AS IT SAYS SAYING that bonds & tribulations are waiting for me. Acts 20:23
    58bears Witness = MARTUREO 3140-471 Jesus Himself, however, E-MARTUREESEN that in his own home land a prophet has no honor. Jn.4:44

    The world... hates Me, because I MARTURO concerning it that its works are wicked. Jn.7:7

    I AM One that MARTURON about Myself, & The Father who sent Me MARTUREI about Me. Jn.8:18

    I MARTURO to everyone that hears the words of the prophesy of this scroll... He that MARTURON of these things says, "Yes; I AM coming quickly." Rev.22:18,20

    When The Helper arrives..., THE SPIRIT of THE TRUTH, ...THAT ONE will MARTUREESEI about Me; & you, in turn, are to MARTUREITE... Jn.15:26,27

    THE SPIRIT THE HOLY ALSO MARTUREITE to us, for after IT HAS SAID: "This is the covenant that I shall covenant...." IT SAYS afterwards: "And I shall...." Heb.10:15-17

    They kept on investigating what particular season... THE SPIRIT in them was indicating concerning Christ when it was MARTUREITE beforehand about the sufferings for Christ... 1Pet.1:11

    59bears Witness with = SUMMARTUREO 4828-706 + SUNEPIMARTUREO 4901-711 while God joined in bearing witness - SUNEPIMARTUROUNTOS... Heb.2:4 THE SPIRIT ITSELF SUNMARTUREI our spirit that we are God's children. Rom.8:16
    60Did many other things Jesus performed many other signs... which are NOT written down in this scroll. But these things have been written down that you may believe that JESUS is the Christ the Son of God, & that, because of believing, YOU MAY HAVE LIFE in HIS NAME. Jn.20:30,31 (+ Jn.21:25) when THAT ONE arrives, THE SPIRIT of THE TRUTH, He WILL GUIDE you into all the truth, for He will not speak of His own initiative, but what things HE hears HE WILL SPEAK, & HE WILL DECLARE to you the THINGS COMING. Jn.16:13
    • Now there are VARIETIES of gifts, but there is THE SAME SPIRIT;
    • & there are VARIETIES of ministries, & yet there is THE SAME LORD;
    • & there are VARIETIES of operations, & yet it is THE SAME GOD.... 1Cor.12:4-6
    • The undeserved KINDNESS of the LORD JESUS CHRIST
    • & the LOVE of GOD
    • & the SHARING of THE HOLY SPIRIT be with all of you. 2Cor.13:14

    - - -

    Scripture provides many other comparisons that show THE HOLY SPIRIT is a functioning Person. For example:
    61Divinely Warns / Reveals = KREEMATIZO 5537 - 803 [astrologers] were given KREEMATISTHENTES in a dream... [& Joseph] being given KREEMATISTHEIS in a dream... Mt.2:12,22 it had been KEXREEMATISMENON to him (Simeon) BY THE SPIRIT THE HOLY that he would not see death before he had seen the Christ of Jehovah. Lk.2:26
    62Forbids = KOLUO 2967-442 Jesus was indignant & said to them: "Let the young children come to Me; do not [you] try to KOLUETE them... Mk.10:14 (See Mt.16:20,23) they went through Phrgia & the country of Galatia, because they were KOLUTHENTES BY THE HOLY SPIRIT to speak the word in... Asia. Acts 16:6
    63Joins in with Help = SUNANTILAMBANOMAI 4878-710 Tell her, therefore, to SUNANTILABETAI me. Lk.10:40 THE SPIRIT also SUNANTILAMBANETAI for our weakness. Rom.8:26
    64Leads = AGO 71-10 Now he [the Devil] E-GAGEN Him into Jerusalem... & said... Lk.4:9 Now Jesus, full of holy spirit, turned away from Jordan, & He was E-GETO about by THE SPIRIT in the wilderness. Lk.4:1
    65Leads = ANAGO 321-41 So he ANAGAGON Him up & showed Him all the kingdoms of the inhabited earth...; & the Devil said to Him... Lk.4:5,6 Then Jesus was ANEEKTHE by THE SPIRIT up into the wilderness to be tempted by the Devil. Mt.4:1
    66Longing = EPIPOTHEO 1971-286 God is my witness of how I am EPIPOTHO for all of you... Phil.1:8 THE SPIRIT which has taken up residence within us keeps EPIPOTHEI Jam.4:5
    67OUTRAGED = ENUBRIZO 1796-264 There's no comparative example for this powerful warning. Don't let YOUR beliefs put you in this position. Of how much more severe a punishment, do you think, will the man be counted worthy who has trampled upon the Son of God..., & who has OUTRAGED THE SPIRIT of undeserved kindness with contempt? Heb.10:29 NWT

    THE SPIRIT of THE Undeserved KINDNESS having contemptuously ENUBRISAS Heb.10:29 KI

    68Performs = ENERGEO 1754-261 the Ruler of the authority of the air, THE [evil] SPIRIT that now ENERGOUEETOS in the sons of disobedience. Eph.2:2 But all these OPERATIONS the One & THE SAME SPIRIT ENERGEI making a distribution to each one respectively just as IT WILLS. 1Cor.12:11
    69Reminds = HUPOMIMNEESKO 5279-779 I desire to HUPOMENEESAI you despite your knowing all things... Jude 1:5 The Helper, THE SPIRIT THE HOLY..., THAT ONE will teach you all things & HUPOMENEESAI you all the things I told you. Jn.14:26
    70Sends = EKPEMPO 1599-229 Immediately by night the brothers EXEPEMPSAN both Paul & Silas out to Beroea... Acts 17:10 THE SPIRIT THE HOLY said: "Of all persons set Barnabas & Saul apart for ME for the work to which I have called them." Then they fasted & prayed & laid their hands upon them & let them go. Accordingly these men EKPEMPSTHENTES BY THE HOLY SPIRIT, went down to Seleucia.... Acts 13:2-4
    This is more than enough, but even so, other comparisons could be added to this chart to show that
    The Holy Spirit functions as -- & therefore is -- a Sentient Being.

    Ponder this profound & powerful WT admission [Insight p.1019, & Aid p.1543]:
  • It is true that Jesus spoke of the holy spirit as a 'helper' & spoke of such helper as 'teaching,' 'bearing witness,' 'giving evidence,' 'guiding,' 'speaking,' 'hearing,' & 'receiving.' In so doing, the original Greek shows Jesus at times applying the personal pronoun 'he' to that 'helper' (paraclete). (Compare John 14:16, 17, 26; 15:26; 16:7-15.)

  • But then the WT leaves the solid ground of Scripture, slides down the slippery slope of speculation, & with blatant bias goes on to say:

  • However, it is not unusual in the Scriptures for something to be personalized or personified that is not actually a person."

  • Can all these powerful, clear, direct, emphatic Scripture-Comparisons
    be justifiably explained away by the very weak personification human opinion?
    I don't think so.

    RESEARCH about: " THE > SPIRIT -- THE > HOLY (ONE) "
    Is "The Holy Spirit" a FORCE, or a Sentient BEING -- or BOTH ?

    The Watch Tower Bible & Tract Society's view on "The Holy Spirit"
    deviates dramatically from the over-whelming majority of Bible-believing Christians, scholars, & researchers.
    WT dictionaries contain the following very brazen & shocking statement that summarizes their view
    & executes THE SPIRIT THE HOLY ONE !!!.

    " The Scriptures themselves unite to show that
    God's HOLY SPIRIT is NOT a
    PERSON
    but is God's active FORCE

    by which he accomplishes his purpose and executes his will
    ."

    Insight p.1019, & Aid p.1543 ~ INSIGHT On The Scriptures (1988) is the updated version of AID To Bible Understanding (1971)

    WOW !!! ~ IF The Holy Spirit is just a force, then I (& any truth-seeker)
    would be compelled by intellectual honesty & integrity, to abandon belief in the Trinity & become a JW !!!
    An honest, careful, thorough comparison of WT opinion with Scriptural evidence, shows there is no need to accept WT conclusions.

    I don't view my work as a THEOLOGICAL DEBATE. There's no prize for the winner.
    This research is to help JWs think about their eternal destiny -- it's about you & God, not about me.
    If WT teaching is wrong, you are picking a fight with the most AWESOME BEING in the universe!
    The Holy Spirit has emotion (intellect & will) & can be INSULTED & OUTRAGED !!!
    Heb.10:26-31 warns:
    For if we practice sin willfully {or stubbornly, or mindlessly, or blindly, or foolishly} after having received the accurate knowledge of the truth, there is no longer any sacrifice for sins left, 27 but [there is] a certain fearful expectation of judgment & [there is] a fiery jealousy that is going to consume those in opposition. 28 Any man that has disregarded the law of Moses dies without compassion, upon the testimony of two or three. 29 Of how much more severe a punishment, do YOU think, will the man be counted worthy who has trampled upon the Son of God & who has esteemed as of ordinary value the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, & who has OUTRAGED THE SPIRIT of undeserved kindness with contempt? 30 For we know him that said: "Vengeance is mine; I will recompense"; & again: "Jehovah will judge his people." 31 It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of [the] living God.
    According to WT opinion:
  • only God the Father is Jehovah
  • The (Paraclete) Holy Spirit = God's Active Force
  • Jesus is a sub-God (a.k.a Michael the archangel).
  • According to Scripture:
  • Jesus is our Paraclete (Lawyer / Advocate) ~ 1Jn.2:1
  • The Holy Spirit is also our Paraclete ~ Jn.14:16,26; 15:26; 16:27

  • (Greek allos = another of the same kind -- not different-kind-heteros).

    Therefore:
  • God The Father -- as the Active Force PARACLETE -- is same as Jesus, & must be demoted to the archangel level.


  • Or, God The (Paraclete) Son must be elevated to equality with God The Father.
  • And God The Spirit -- as same as Jesus PARACLETE -- must be promoted to equal Personhood & Godhood !!!
  • In other words, The Trinity is alive & well.
    Like the atheist who doesn't believe in God, JWs are in for a shock when they meet THE SPIRIT THE HOLY Paraclete-Lawyer-Advocate.

    Because of deliberate, consistent, repeated, systematic emphasis, programming & reinforcement
    (a.k.a. re-education, conditioning, mind control, thought reform, brain washing),
    JWs automatically equate & substitute the Bible expression
    "The Holy Spirit" with the WT's phrase "Active Force",
    e
    ven though
    the "Active Force" phrase is a MISTRANSLATION & found only ONCE in their own Bible!!! See the NWT at Gen.1:2.

    SCRIPTURE distinguishes between:
  • The Awesome PERSON & the awesome POWER of The Holy Spirit (throughout Scripture)

  • The GIVER & the GIFT -- in Acts 2:4 for example:
    "...they all became filled with HOLY SPIRIT & started to speak with different tongues,
    just as
    THE SPIRIT
    was GRANTING them to make utterance".
    So obviously "pneuma" is not POWER-only or PERSON-only.
    The truth is that HE is an Awesome PERSON
    AND demonstrates HIS Awesome POWER.
