You do agree that God the Father does not possess this attribute--right?

No...the Bible tells us at John 1 that the Word was with God, the Word was God...
So at that point of the story the Word did not have a human nature nor body.

then later in John the Bible tells us that the "Word became flesh" and was made man....NOW here at this point the Word was given a 2nd nature.

at that point in our history the word became flesh.


So to review.
The Word was, is now, and will always be, "spirit" as we see in the first part of John1.

But the Word became flesh.
So the word that is always spirit, was made man who is flesh.

Thus the flesh is only dealing with the "HUMAN NATURE" of Jesus.

but in his divine nature Jesus is always pure spirit as is the father pure spirit.



Remember Jesus has 2 natures
one like the father is all ways
the other like man in all ways


So when Jesus said that a spirit does not have flesh and bone, he was pointing out his "HUMANITY"!!!!!



this means that because the father does not have a Human nature, that the father does not have a body of flesh and bone.


This is the 2nd nature that Christ has that the father does not have.
