Where does the Bible say the Holy Spirit is the third person in the Trinity?

Answer 1

The concept of the Holy Trinity arose in the third century of Christianity and was formally adopted by the Council of Nicaea in the fourth century, after spirited argument. The Bible never mentions the Holy Trinity, and therefore never says that the Holy Spirit is the third person. A passage known as the "Johannine Comma" (1 John 5:7) does refer indirectly to the concept of the Trinity, but was never in the early Greek manuscripts, only appearing in the Latin translation of the fifth century, after the Trinity doctrine had been accepted by the Council of Nicaea.

Answer 2

A:In the Old Testament, the Holy Spirit is only mentioned three times, but 'God's spirit' is also mentioned. These references are more consistent with an attribute or emanation of God. There can be no concept of a godhead or of the Holy Spirit as a person of the godhead in the Hebrew Bible, since the concept of the Holy Trinity is entirely foreign to Judaism.

If the 'Greek Bible' refers to the second-century-BCE Greek translation of the Hebrew scriptures, the same applies. Even the New Testament never actually refers to the Holy Spirit as the third person of the Christian godhead, or 'Holy Trinity'.
