Holy Spirit: Person or Personification?

However, the truth is still in the very translation they have produced. Let's see what happens when we allow the scriptures to explain themselves! Following are 4 primary texts used by Jehovah witness’s to show that Christ was created. They are:

The "Angel" in the Pillar of Cloud Ex. 23:20-23 Here I am sending an angel ahead of you to keep you on the road and to bring you into the place that I have prepared. Watch yourself because of him and obey his voice . Do not behave rebelliously against him, for he will not pardon YOUR transgression ; because my name is within him . 22 However, if you strictly obey his voice and really do all that I shall speak, then I shall certainly be hostile to your enemies and harass those who harass you. 23 For my angel will go ahead of you and will indeed bring you to the Am´or·ites and the Hit´tites and the Per´iz·zites and the Ca´naan·ites, the Hi´vites and the Jeb´u·sites, and I shall certainly efface them. Ex. 13:21 And Jehovah was going ahead of them in the daytime in a pillar of cloud to lead them by the way, and in the nighttime in a pillar of fire to give them light to go in the daytime and nighttime.
