Who is the "Another Comforter?"

Ellen White's endorsement of a heavenly trio certainly did not endorse the Trinity doctrine, especially when she defined the Holy Spirit as the life and soul of Christ. The Bible concurs by quoting Christ in John 14:16-18, in saying that He would send another comforter and then saying that He would come. The "Another Comforter" is the pre-Incarnated life of Christ. That is why He says I will come to you, John 14:16-18. Also, Christ is the Spirit of truth, because Scripture says that He is THE WAY, THE TRUTH AND THE LIFE.

Jhn 14:16 And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you for ever;

Jhn 14:17 [Even] the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.

Jhn 14:18 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.

Jhn 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Jhn 14:17 [Even] the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall

Who is Speaking in the Following Verse:

Jhn 15:4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; no more can ye, except ye abide in me.

Who is the Vine? Who is Speaking in the Following Verse:

Jhn 15:5 I am the vine, ye [are] the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same bringeth forth much fruit: for without me ye can do nothing.

Jhn 15:1 I am the true vine, and my Father is the husbandman.

1Jo 2:24 Let that therefore abide in you, which ye have heard from the beginning. If that which ye have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, ye also shall continue in the Son, and in the Father.

Clearly, the Spirit of Truth that is in us is Christ, the Holy Spirit life and soul of Christ, His Soul being His mind. Whose mind is in us?

Phl 2:5 Let this mind be in you, which was also in Christ Jesus:

Thus the Trinity doctrine is rendered as errant. The Holy Spirit is the life and soul of the Son of God prior to His Incarnation--the life and soul of Christ, as Ellen White said:

"Christ declared that after his ascension, he would send to his church, as his crowning gift, the Comforter, who was to take his place. This Comforter is the Holy Spirit,--the soul of his life, the efficacy of his church, the light and life of the world. With his Spirit Christ sends a reconciling influence and a power that takes away sin.
In the gift of the Spirit [HIS LIFE--THE SOUL OF HIS LIFE], Jesus gave to man the highest good that heaven could bestow....
The Spirit was given as a regenerating agency, and without this the sacrifice of Christ would have been of no avail....
It is by the Spirit that the heart is made pure. Through the Spirit the believer becomes a partaker of the divine nature. Christ has given his Spirit as a divine power to overcome all hereditary and cultivated tendencies to evil, and to impress his own character upon the church." E.G. White, Review and Herald Articles, May 19, 1904, vol. 5, p. 42.

"Christ gives them the breath of HIS OWN SPIRIT, the life of HIS OWN LIFE. The HOLY SPIRIT puts forth its highest energies to work in the heart and mind." Desire of Ages, 827.

Whose Divine Nature are we Invited to Partake of as a Divine Power for Overcoming?

2Pe 1:4 Whereby are given unto us exceeding great and precious promises: that by these ye might be partakers of the divine nature, having escaped the corruption that is in the world through lust.
