Bible Study Christ Jesus is spirit, how do you think?

[Jethro Bodine]

In this case the brother that told our friend here that Jesus is Spirit is not all wrong, shoot, even Bill Taylor is a spirit wrapped inside this human body. Perhaps that is where he was going.

This was my first thought as to what the person was saying.

I'm not sure what the confusion is, or the question...?

God is a Spirit. We are spirits. We have a soul and live in a body.

God's a triune being, we are triune beings. Spirits can merge with other Spirits...(we àre in Christ, and Christ is in us.) Literally.

For a direct hit from God's Own Lips:

John 4:24
God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.

Yes but you have bypassed the young lady's issue. In my answers I explained that Jesus, also the Son of God and Jesus/God placed His Spirit in a body of flesh. When we see Him He wil be in the same body of flesh but in the Glorified Form. And she, specifically wants to focus on the Second member of the Trinity with logical scriptural conversation, sans, all the rabbit trails.

At least that is what I understood.

We are not to know Jesus after the flesh any longer. 2 Cor. 5:16

Instead of short answers that can and will confuse the new in Christ and the Babes in Christ why don't you give a short dissertation on this matter that we, then, can discuss and perhaps Smile can learn from the exchange. Nobody is upset but short answers without Life Application will, almost always, be taken as such by many. Let us keep it friendly and see that others can learn from our exchanges.

My oldest son is a musician. He has a real job as well, but his passion is music. I forced him to get a college biz degree, as I wasn't paying for a music or art degree. My bad.

Anyway....what I might say about understanding things of God is that you have to respect what has gone on prior to some degree. Just like in music. You can't just pick up music and smear generations of musical talent that went on prior. And that's what theology is like as well. People have put some serious deliberation to these matters and if you desire to master, you must, in essence, master the masters first. Our initial petty ideas are just that, until we roll up our sleeves and master the masters. In music such musicians are much better. So it is in theology as well.
