Where in the Scriptures is the Holy Spirit called an "active force?" He is not! EVER!
Like it or not, my JW friend, the Scriptures do call the Holy Spirit GOD.
The fact that the Holy Spirit is God is clearly seen in many Scriptures, including
Acts 5:3-4. In this verse Peter confronts Ananias as to why he lied to the Holy Spirit and tells him that he had “not lied to men but to God.” It is a clear declaration that lying to the Holy Spirit is lying to God.
Do you think Peter thought the Holy Spirit was an "active force?" It sure doesn't look that way to me.
The Holy Spirit is a divine PERSON. He possesses a mind, emotions, and a will. The Holy Spirit thinks and knows (
1 Corinthians 2:10). The Holy Spirit can be grieved (
Ephesians 4:30). The Spirit intercedes for us (
Romans 8:26-27). He makes decisions according to His will (
1 Corinthians 12:7-11).
The Holy Spirit is God, just as the Son and the Father are God!
