1 | Does God possess a spirit body? | John 4:24 | Hank | 132820 | ||
Reighnskye: Like our good friend Kalos, I'm at a loss to define what a 'spirit-body' is! It sounds like a contradiction in terms. But you may be thinking of the various instances of theophanies in Scripture wherein God manifested Himself in a manner that was visible to the human eye. The fact that God certainly can do that, and did, doesn't say that He dwells in a 'spirit-body,' whatever that is. --Hank | ||||||
2 | Does God possess a spirit body? | John 4:24 | Reighnskye | 132844 | ||
Thanks, Hank. :) You are definitely right about the contradiction in terms. Yet Paul himself uses an equivalent (or at least similar) term in 1Cor 15:44, although many may argue that the "spirit (or spiritual) body" here is simultaneously material as was Christ's resurrected body, as per common eschatological interpretations. Thus a material spirit. - 1 Corinthians 15 44 it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. If there is a natural body, there is also a spiritual body. 45 So also it is written, "The first MAN, Adam, BECAME A LIVING SOUL." The last Adam became a life-giving spirit. (NAS95) - You may further reference my response to Kalos for clarification. I apologize for the breakdown in terminology. If you might have an alternate terminology available, I would be glad to use it, but I've thus far failed, on my part, to find it. - Reighnskye |
