Some of you believe wind is spirit/spirit is wind. If they are one, why say "spirit of the wind" rather than just saying "wind"?

Hmm. How would you define spirit or what other word would you use?I can say that you will rarely, if ever, hear me use the term "spirit", save in cases like "team spirit". I don't recognize the concept of spirit or spirits in popular mythology.
If spirit is wind, do we "break spirit"?I can say that you will rarely, if ever, hear me use the term "spirit", save in cases like "team spirit". I don't recognize the concept of spirit or spirits in popular mythology.
I gave an explanation in the other thread.Some of you believe wind is spirit/spirit is wind. If they are one, why say "spirit of the wind" rather than just saying "wind"?
idk either wind seems more accurate and thus more honoringSome of you believe wind is spirit/spirit is wind. If they are one, why say "spirit of the wind" rather than just saying "wind"?
I don't define it and believe it is a concept without realistic foundations. I flatly reject that the wind is a spirit though I suppose one could say that many wind storms are quite spirited.Hmm. How would you define spirit or what other word would you use?
If anything it is the releasing of said brake and letting the wind, um, err.. rip, although if taken literally, that could prove quite painful!If spirit is wind, do we "break spirit"?

she,until the OP defines what he means by spirit, the question is unanswerable.
I think wind is just a metaphor for spirit ?.

Bottled?Most of the spirits I'm familiar with are bottled.
Actually you said "spirit is wind", so that is YOUR point of view that I am asking about. I am simply asking what YOUR definition of the word spirit is as YOU used it in the original post. I was just wanting you to justify your statement. Personally, I never use the word spirit in any supernatural way, but that is irrelevant.Its not from my point of view. If you believe that wind is spirit however You define spirit, what is spirit to you and why not say wind if you believe spirit (your def.) is wind?

John 3:8So, what IS spirit in the context of what the OP means? And why is wind a metaphor of that? Using wind as a metaphor, I could make up plenty of my own definitions....but what is the intended definition?
Thats how I feel.idk either wind seems more accurate and thus more honoring
