40 Ways The Holy Spirit COMMUNICATES

[4examp]

Multi-faceted COMMUNICATION is a Prominent Characteristic of The Holy Spirit.

The WT agrees, but attempts to explain Scripture away, via a point that refutes their own acknowledgment !!!

WT#1 (Insight p.1020, & Aid p.1543)
"While some texts refer to the spirit as 'witnessing,' 'speaking,' 'saying' things, [true, see #10 to 39]
other texts make clear that IT spoke through persons, [true, see #30,31,32,33]
having NO PERSONAL VOICE OF ITS OWN." [false, see #35,36,37,38,39]

WT#2 (Insight p.1019 / Aid p.1543)
"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."

The above quotes fail to pass the "Test of Agreement" with Scripture.
I apologize for the length of this post, but obviously The Holy Spirit had lots to say !

You can choose to ignore this info, but IS THERE ANY JW OUT THERE THAT CAN REFUTE THE EVIDENCE in my 2 posts?

Post Length Considerations
The maximum post length is 24K characters not including quoted material. Do not use multiple posts to circumvent this restriction. Please keep your points concise and limit the number of major points made in a debate/discussion to 1 or 2 per post max as this encourages discourse. Rebuttal posts get undesirably lengthy from both a writer's and a reader's perspective when there are too many points to address. Additionally, please allow the other person to respond to your post before making additional substantive posts and points directed towards that same person (i.e. back-to-back responses to a single post are not allowed.)
