Here is my first of many "proof texts" to illustrate the issue of understanding whether there is any hope in defining the true Trinity concept.I have dozens more. James 4:4-10,
4 Adulterers and adulteresses! Do you not know that friendship with the world is enmity with God? Whoever therefore wants to be a friend of the world makes himself an enemy of God.
5 Or do you think that the Scripture says in vain, “The Spirit who dwells in us yearns jealously”?
6 But He gives more grace. Therefore He says: “God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble.”
7 Therefore submit to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.
8 Draw near to God and He will draw near to you. Cleanse your hands, you sinners; and purify your hearts, you double-minded.
9 Lament and mourn and weep! Let your laughter be turned to mourning and your joy to gloom.
10 Humble yourselves in the sight of the Lord, and He will lift you up.
Note that the Holy Spirit who is indwelling in us as stated in verse 5 is the Person who yearns jealously but He gives more Grace to the humble. Doesn't that make the Holy Spirit the third person of the Trinity? I don't really know but one thing is for sure. The Holy Spirit is not just a mere force. The JWs do believe the Holy Spirit is a force and not a Person. Many other groups also believe that. I'm not so convinced they are right.
