He is THE Spirit, NOT a spirit.
Capital letters and definite articles did NOT confuse the translators, nor do they confuse me.

Are you arguing in favour of multi-personal God? Such a concept is not from scriptures but from heathen philosophy.You suppose the corporal and created conditions which properly belongs to this word person, none of which could exist in God, and then turn around and argue God is not a person. Well we know God is not contained in a composite subject, so other than your failure to properly perceive this word Person as applied to God contrasted in the plural, your point is what exactly?
You can't argue God is not a person or Persons, then when we ask why, your entire answer is what God is not ? That means you are refuting your own understanding , mostly certainly not ours.
Deity exist by itself, and Divinity is of a Rational Intelligence nature , thus the dignity of this word Person applied to God is quite fitting in a more excellent way. Clearly not in the way it is applied to created things, ie .Intellectual substances. Since every Divine Person by Himself is but One God and Lord, other than the humanism which belongs to creatures yet the Divine Essence knows it NOT, Your point is what?
The 13 century Latin doctor communis (ie universal teacher), completely dispatched your ridiculous modern humanistic anti Trinitarian straw above saying"
The ancient camel riding theologians already start from striping this word person of its imperfect human mode as applied to God, and even more so contrasted in the plural.
Therefore your intellectually challenged argument is with words and terms, and that only, wherefore leaving you to refute yourself.
I don't know why you people think you can refute ancient Orthodoxy with modern humanism of imperfect corporal and created conditions as if we mean something inherent in God . Its silly Anthony. for scriptures doesn't even allow composition and subjection in God , that is in, or properly belongs to this word Person.

God being invisible is in unapproachable light whom no one has ever seen nor can see.
BTW, the ancient orthodoxy is based on Abraham and His SEED Yahusha Messiah. Not so called your church fathers. Bible contains the history of Israel from the perspective of both Old and New Covenant. Anything amiss is not from God including a Trinity.You suppose the corporal and created conditions which properly belongs to this word person, none of which could exist in God, and then turn around and argue God is not a person.

Unapproachable Light God is in! He is inaccessible, has no form nor voice. In another term He is utter transcendent. There is indescribable gulf between God and created realm. His substance is unknown until made known through prophetic scriptures of OT (Yahuah in Man's form and all Anthromorphism of OT) and finally the realised form of Yahusha Messiah, The Son of God in equal share.What is that "unapproachable light"???
Some eternal substance???

Scriptures reveal invisible God in the realised substance of Yahusha Messiah.
1John 1:
1 That which was from the beginning, that which we have heard, that which we have seen with our eyes, that which we saw, and our hands touched, concerning the Word of life
2 (and the life was revealed, and we have seen, and testify, and declare to you the life, the eternal life, which was with the Father, and was revealed to us);
John 14: 9 Yeshua said to him, “Have I been with you all this time, and still you do not know me, Philip? He who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, ‘Show us the Father?’
Learn of Yahusha Messiah and you will know God. He is the fullness of God in Bodily form.Yeah I KNOW God is IN something. So? What IS it??? Some eternal "thing" or "stuff"???
Learn of Yahusha Messiah and you will know God. He is the fullness of God in Bodily form.

NOT in the Bible.
NO passage in The Bible calls THE Spirit a spirit.Yes, in the Bible, The Spirit is a spirit. Learn English.
NO passage in The Bible calls THE Spirit a spirit.
A spirit(NOT Spirit) in man; i.e. a spirit which all men have.Wrong as always.
Job 32:8
However, there is in humans a Spirit, the breath of the Almighty, that gives them understanding.
Let me guess.. that's not referring to The Holy Spirit.. wrong again..
A spirit(NOT Spirit) in man; i.e. a spirit which all men have.
The Holy Spirit NOT referred to in this passage.
My Bible says a spirit in man; i.e. human spirits which all men have.Wrong. "A Spirit in man" is equated with "Breath of the Almighty"; In other words, The Spirit.
My Bible says a spirit in man; i.e. human spirits which all men have.
The inspiration of the Almighty gives them understanding.Nope, it also says "the Breath of the Almighty", it is no ordinary spirit.

No it is you & JW's that has a Jesus Christ without His Immortal, supernatural, Glorious FLESH & Bone resurrection body that He never disposed of when He ascended VISABLY up to Heaven in Acts chapter one after His 40 days spent on planet earth after He raised His Temple/body in 3 days as He said He would do in John 2:19-22! He kept His Immortal Glorious resurrection body and ours will be like His as proven in Philippians 3:21! His SPIRIT is still in His Glorious Flesh & bone resurrection body of Luke 24:39! Case closed!And now He's a Spirit.
1 Cor 15:45
The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening Spirit.
John 6:63
It is the Spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing. The words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
You believe in a false Jesus.. Heh heh.
