Is the Holy Spirit more accurately described as God's breath or God's love?
A viewer has heard the Holy Spirit described as both God's breath and God's love and asks whether one description is more accurate than the other.
Answer
No, because it all depends on the context. Take 1 John 4:8, which says God is love: yes, God is love, but the context is talking about our loving the brethren, since the whole of John's epistles is about love, love the brethren, the church, Jesus, God. People take that out of context and say God is only love, that he has no anger, and build their whole theology on it, but they do not know how to read Scripture. You have to contextualize Scripture, get the right etymology, and not ask which description is more important, because Scripture does not judge itself that way; both are true in their contexts.
