The Bible Teaches the Holy Spirit is a Person

"Like I said, obviously Adam and Eve weren't born in the conventional way" Your definition of person was "someone born like any other person." Any other person would be born in the conventional way, so if Adam and Eve are not born in the conventional way, then they are not born like any other person and therefore do not fit your definition of person. Also, Adam and Eve were not BORN, they were created. God wasn't pregnant to give birth to them. Nor was there a woman before them who could. Since they were not born then they don't fit your definition of person! "If your not going to refute my main points, why am I debating with you?" You never refuted my point that God is called prosopon, person, in the Bible. You never even replied to that; so why am I debating with you? I have quoted your every point and replied to them all, and just because you don't agree with the answers doesn't mean I didn't address them! "If by person you mean sentient being, I agree with you. However, you should be more specific." I was specific. And I'll quote for you what I specifically said: Wikipedia: "an entity that has certain capacities or attributes associated with personhood." That seems pretty specific to me. This is a dictionary definition of person; since the Holy Spirit fits this quite valid definition of person, then the Holy Spirit is a person. My case proved! "If by person you mean sentient being, I agree with you." An animal is a sentient being and yet is not a person. The Holy Spirit possess more than mere sentience (consiousness); he has qualities, emotions, raitonality, a will, preferences, etc. These are traits of personhood. "The wikipedia definition of spirit is the nonphysical part of a person. Sound familiar?" Angels are spirits. (Heb 1:7, 13-14) Are angels the nonphysical PART of persons? Was the angel Gabriel the nonphysical part of a physical person? If not, then you need to see that there are other definitions of spirit; just as there are other definitions of "person." My definition of person stands until you can refute it. You never replied to my argument that God, who is a Spirit, is called a person in the Bible. Go back through my post and make the necessary response. "Since the Holy Spirit doesn't have a physical body, He cannot be a person. He created people." Humans are born and so are horses; humans have physical bodies and so do horses; so horses meet both of your requirements for personhood (they are born, and have physical bodies), yet horses are not persons, why? I would love to hear you answer this! If you say horses are not persons because they are not born in the same manner as humans, you'll be contradicting yourself, cause neither were Adam and Eve! You are the one who said that the method of birth doesn't matter! EVIDENCE THAT IamZero is AFRAID OF The Greek word for person "prosopon" which is used for persons at Matt 22:16; Mark 12:14; Luke 20:21; 2 Cor 1:11; 2 Cor 2:10; Gal 2:6 and Jude 16 is used of God (who is a Spirit [John 4:24]), at Exo 15:3 and Heb 9:24. This shows spirits can be persons too. Notice how the NWT renders these verses: "Jehovah is a manly PERSON (prosopon) of war." (Exo 15:3) "Now to appear before the PERSON (prosopon) of God for us." (Heb 9:24) This word, prosopon, means "person," example: "For thou regardeth not the person (prosopon) of men." (Matt 22:16, KJV) "By the means of many persons (prosopon) thanks may be given." (2 Cor 1:11, KJV) So I have shown where God is called a person in the Bible. Con made no rebuttal to this, therefore this evidence still stands until he can knock it down. DEAR IamZero; The Bible itself says God is a person; God is also a Spirit (John 4:24), therefore a spirit can be a person! This refutes your claim that a spirit cannot be a person. Refute that! I want to see you QUOTE this evidence and REPLY to it! You have ignored most of the evidence I presented, please don't ignore this one. In your next post, if you think there is anything you said to which I made no reply, please QUOTE it so that the readers can see what you are referring to and will be able to read back the post and see if your claim is true that I made no reply. I really don't enjoy being accused to things I didn't do. The Holy Spirit is a living, conscious, rational, intelligent being, and is therefore a person because that is what a person is.
