Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit

The Watchtower teaches that the Holy Spirit is an impersonal force. They do this intentionally because if the Holy Spirit is indeed a person and the Biblical doctrine of the Triune nature of God is true then Jesus Christ is indeed God in the flesh

As for the Holy Spirit, the so-called third Person
of the Trinity, we have already seen that this is not
a person but Gods active force.
You Can Live Forever in Paradise, 1982, p. 40

The correct identification of the holy spirit must fit
all the scriptures that refer to that spirit. With this
viewpoint, it is logical to conclude that the holy
spirit is the active force of God. It is not a person
but is a powerful force that God causes to emanate
from himself to accomplish his holy will.Ps.
104:30; 2 Pet. 1:21; Acts 4:31.
Reasoning From the Scriptures, p. 381

However, this is what the Bible has to say about the Holy Spirit

The Holy Spirit can be blasphemed:

"And anyone who speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but anyone who blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will not be forgiven" (Luke 12:10).

He convicts the world of sin:

"When he comes, he will convict the world of guilt in regard to sin and righteousness and judgment: in regard to sin, because men do not believe in me; in regard to righteousness, because I am going to the Father, where you can see me no longer; and in regard to judgment, because the prince of this world now stands condemned" (John 16:8-11).

He LIVES in the believer:

"If you love me, you will obey what I command. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Counselor to be with you forever—the Spirit of truth. The world cannot accept him, because it neither sees him nor knows him. But you know him, for he lives with you and will be in you" (John 14:15-17).

He teaches the believer:

"But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you all things and will remind you of everything I have said to you" (John 14:26).

He testifies about Christ:

"When the Counselor comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who goes out from the Father, he will testify about me" (John 15:26).

He speaks truth:

"But when he, the Spirit of truth, comes, he will guide you into all truth. He will not speak on his own; he will speak only what he hears, and he will tell you what is yet to come" (John 16:13).

How does a non-person, energy, or force do these things?
The Holy Spirit is the third person of the Triune God. He is not a third God
