So Satan is a person?

Really, you can lie to God and have God be a “Him” that transcends all humanity and the universe.

God is God. He’s not a “person,” either. Just because you see yourself as a person, it doesn’t mean God is.

Please tell us where in the Bible God or the Holy Spirit are people and not “God” or the “Spirit.”

Satan is absolutely a person. All angels, fallen or otherwise, are persons.

God is God. He’s not a “person,” either.

True enough. God is three Persons in one substance.

Are you sure you're not confusing "person" with "human being"? Human beings are persons, but not all persons -- in metaphysical terms -- are human beings. A "person," as I said, is an individual substance of a rational nature.

You are splitting hairs here.

The Holy Spirit is a being, just like God the Father and any other living being.

If by *person* you mean *human being* then be intellectually honest and clarify your definition.

Otherwise, you have relegated God the Father and the Holy Spirit to forces, not beings.

At which point, you demolish any claims Jesus made about Himself and you are left with nothing but a cult of false teaching about God.

Do you understand that we are made in the image of God? A reflection of his being?
