the Holy Spirit can be lied to, obeyed, grieved and blasbhemed?
John 14:26 tells us that the Holy Spirit is sent by Father ( cf. John 16:17). One does not "send" some impersonal force. Rather, a person is sent to accomplish some specific task. Just as Jesus was sent by Father ( John 6:38 ), so too was the Holy Spirit sent by the Father.

With the single most powerful verse in the bible to show them. The problem is that new versions have taken it out.
1st John 5:7 for there are three that bear record in heaven, The Father, The Word, and the Holy Ghost, and these three are one.

The holy spirit is not a person. The holy spirit is the communication link between the creator and the creation.

Exactly. The Holy Spirit is not some impersonal force. He is the third person of the trinity.

You can't. The Watchtower is NOT SCRIPTURE.
2Ti 3:16 All scripture is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness:
Rev 22:18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
Rev 22:19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.
Repeat: The Watchtower is NOT SCRIPTURE. Jehovah's Witnesses have their own Bible version (NWT) which is NOT SCRIPTURE. Several Christian bookstores in our area DO NOT SELL NEW WORLD TRANSLATIONS. This Bible version has been rewritten with subtle changes where it is REALLY important, and this version has had things added and subtracted. See Revelation 22:18-19

Just examine how many times the watchtower has changed its stand on doctrinal values. Then determine whether or not this question is worth asking.
