Many Trinitarian
apologists, when speaking of the “being” of the Trinity, often speaks of such
as a person, using personal pronouns (Him; He; His) and even using “person” to
describe this “being,” notwithstanding, as James White et al., claim, the
Trinity states that God is one what in three whos.

Many critics
of (Latin/Creedal) Trinitarian formulations have noted this, including Greg
Stafford, who noted the following:
White’s terminology is not universally
accepted among Trinitarians, though there has been little to no recent,
explicit dispute of such language by other Trinitarian scholars. In
conversation with some Trinitarians, they have instead expressed a view that
speaks of “God” as a personal being. But when pressed to explain whether this
personal being in a given instance in the Bible is the Father, Son, or Holy
Spirit, or the triune God as such, no clear answer has been given which would
eliminate the problem of having a fourth person
in addition to the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, namely, the Trinity. (Greg

Teachings of Jehovah’s Witnesses [Murrieta, Calif.: Elihu Books, 2002], 213
