No doubt that God is love and is loved. The Father loves the Son and the Son the Father and the love shared between them is the Holy Spirit. Similarly, the love God has for us is Grace, and our love of God is latria. All have specific and deep meanings. But to say that Jesus is love expresses an understanding or concept of the Trinity that begs further explanation. Please elaborate.
That said, you still have not told me what St. John was telling us in the opening of hid Gospel when he referred to Jesus as the Word.
Peace and blessings
The Holy Spirit is the 'Spirit' of God. The THREE are ONE.
Now get back to what Jesus says to the hypocrites. Jesus said only what the Father said. Does KNOWING what Jesus said and the The Father and Spirit agree with - bring turmoil that you feel a need to change the subject?
Ignoring and disobeying The Words of Jesus with the desire to follow evil/man teachings brings destruction for eternity.
Now you are on your own. As Jesus turned away for He knew what was in them, so do I.
God is love. (1 John 4:8)
The fruit of the Holy Spirit is love. Galatians 5:22
And now saying Jesus is love means something different? What's the matter? Don't you believe that Jesus is God?
That is saying then, that the Holy Spirit isn't really a person, but rather a thing; an action or an emotion. Or the name we give to the love shared between them.
Sounds like denial of the Trinity to me because of the denial of the personhood of the Holy Spirit.
