What a Tower of Babel! If the trinity is supposed to be the central doctrine of Christianity, why are there so many conflicting views about it?
Catholic Crusader typifies the confusion that people have for the trinity. He says: "God is one being and THREE persons. We can not FULLY understand the Trinity, but the Scriptures are pretty plain that God IS Trinity."
But then he says: "The Bible clearly teaches that Jesus is God."
Can you see the confusion? He first says that the trinity (Father, Son, holy spirit) makes God. But then he changes by saying that Jesus is God. So which is it? Is the trinity God or is Jesus God?
The confusion of the trinity was exacerbated by God's name being removed from the Bible. To trinitarians, only the Son--Jesus--has a name, while the Father and the holy spirit remain nameless. So, to give their triune God a name, they use the part of their triune God that has a name--Jesus.
Trintarians are a confused lot.

One of the things that the holy spirit is consistently called in the Bible is the “spirit of God” and also the “spirit of Jehovah”. (Mat 3:16, Zech 6:8). Now if the “spirit of God” is a PERSON as the Trinitarians are saying, then they will have a problem, when they read Rev 4:5 where it states “. 5 And out of the throne there are proceeding lightnings and voices and thunders; and [there are] seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, and these mean the SEVEN SPIRITS OF GOD”
So now, Trinitarians are now believing in 7 more persons of God. But of course, as expected, in Rev 4:5 they will NOW change the meaning of the “spirit of God” to something else. And in that case, it is NOT a person.

Why are you people fighting over small things when looming right in front of your eyes is the end of days?
Don't you know Satan would have you distracted until it is too late to do anything to save yourself and your family?
He is crafty and has many ways to pull you away from God and God's commandments.
Jesus said love is a mark of all of God's followers. And by this love all will know that you are my disciples.
Can't you all understand to remain calm and let God's holy spirit work in your lives?
Follow God's lead and you can't go wrong.

Since the holy spirit is Jehovah Gods active force, it requires no name.
Of course those who cling to the triune dogma will have all sort of conflicting answers to this...but no name.

It has no name and is referred to as it in Old English Bibles. They replace it with Him in modern ones.
It is never seen in heaven (in any Bible). Jehovah and Jesus sit on thrones. Never more than 2 thrones are depicted. Rev. 21, 22 and more.
HS was exalted to personhood, then Godship in Nicene Creeds and binitarians base their beliefs on this.
Trinity came about from the later Athanasian Creed. It progressed over many centuries and was voted into orthodoxy by RC leaders who wrote the stuff themselves (not from Bible).

The Holy Spirit is Gods Active force. It is not a person with a name nor is it part of a trinity.

What is the name of God? What is the name of Jesus? What is the name of the Holy Spirit? The answers are in the questions. We are spiritual beings made of a physical flesh and a spiritual being. If we are two in one, how can it be impossible for God to be three in one. After all he did create your flesh and your spirit. The bible states with man this is impossible but with God all things are possible.

LOL!!!
See how believers in the trinity give totally different answers?
Ok, so....
The Father= Jehovah, Yahweh, YHWH, Adonai, Elohim,....
The Son= Jesus, Immanuel, Messiah, the Word,......
The holy spirit= the holy spirit
Huh????
Boy- are these guys CONFUSED!!!
LOL!!! Ooooh- how my sides hurt!!! ROFLOL!!!
EDIT: Jereme K- No need to get all flustered- it's your fellow trinitarians making us laugh after all.
That verse you use just shows that the holy spirit is God's spirit. We agree. But how does that make the holy spirit and Jesus and the Father all EQUAL???
(falls into giggles again)
