It is my understanding that the Spirit is both the same Spirit and a distinct Person. The Spirit being God to be both omnipresent and acting local ways.If god is spirit, how does he have a spirit to give?

The known universe is made up of causes. So I understand it to be caused.No. You'd have to use synomns to causes and uncause. It's sounds more like sally sold sea shells at the sea shore.
I'd say there is no origin or something that puts everything in motion. Instead, reality (I guess) by definition is motion. A interweaven process of cause and effect. No cause. Pure momentum.
You and I and all are part of this momentum and a good way to experience this for many is through basic meditation, prayer, so have you.
Outside of that, I'm not sure of what you're saying.
God is love is an attribute.That doesn't make sense, though. It's saying love gives love to others rather than love being worthy and the ability of it's own to Be the love in others. Not given but realized.
For example, a mother who gives love to her children doesn't give love as something seperate that interacts with children (like a force etc). She Is the love for her children. Given, here, is talking about she gives "herself" for the well-being of her children.
What's the difference between spirit (god) and spirit (say love)?
If god is love, why does he need to give something (say the gift of love) when he can "give" himself (as love)? (Assuming he doesn't need to be an incarnation to do so)

you are.....Am I really wrong here?
In English, we call God the God. Thus, His name is God.

Well maybe the spirit isn't love? Love is a feeling and action. But it is expressed with tools, such as our mouth and hands. Love isn't a physical or metaphysical (I mean by this spirit world-ish) thing that can interact with the world. It is just a concept to describe certain feelings and intent behind actions.

Yes, that is incorrect. God is a title, and there are many gods. Jesus, God's son told us God's name, and of course his followers reveal it as well. Most versions of the Bible reveal His name at Psalms 83:18 which reads: May people know that you, whose name is Jehovah, You alone are the Most High over all the earth.In English, we call God the God. Thus, His name is God.
