>From Scripture we know that God is a Spirit.  We must worship Him in 
Spirit and in truth.  But is God a Person in His Divine Nature? Is He 
called a Person in the original language in which the scriptures were 
written? In the KJV there is only one scripture where the word Person 
is used in reference to God, that is in Hebrews 1:3 and looking at it 
in the original greek I don't believe that the word Person should be 
used. If we could conclude that the word Person is not a correct way 
to describe God in His Divine Nature then the trinity would be 
without an argument, the term persons would be unscriptural, God in 
three persons would be an unscriptural term as God is a Spirit.
