These surely make it clear that God sends the holy spirit forth?

Well will you at least admit that the Watchtower Society is wrong when they say Jesus was once Michael the archangel? That was never taught or mentioned in the holy Bible.
You know that the Word became the Son (John 1), so why doesn't the following two verses teach the trinity?
Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the nam ...[text shortened]... , the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one.

Why, if the Godhead is a mystery, do folks try to explain it?
Why, if the source of truth concerning the Godhead is taken from the Word of God, do folks say the Godhead is a mystery?
Why, if the Godhead is explained by the Word of God, do folks have different ideas about the a Godhead?
Because the Word of God is not understood by the reader. The Word of God is clear, but the reader isn't.

That is a statement of fact, not an explanation of the Godhead. Where did you come up with the idea it was explaining the Godhead? That seems to make the Godhead more of a mystery to me.

Maybe because God is so enjoyable that they want to.
Something like "the birds and the bees" was used as a catch phrase to explain sex.

Folks say it because the Bible says it TO folks.
Scripture says "the mystery of God, Christ" (Col. 2:2)
Can you blame folks for just saying what the Bible said about this?

When we are short on experience, we tend to have different arguments and opinions.
Notice I did say "we".
