God is SPIRIT !
always was, always will be,pure
spirit.
This is why God is called the
"invisible God" for spirits are
invisible,,always were, always will be....
for God never changes.
The Word was God...
So the Word is God, and that means the Word is spirit, for we have already learned that
"God is spirit".
The Word became flesh
So the Word that is and will always be pure spirit
,became flesh.
God the Son took upon Himself a 2nd nature.
The Son never stopped being just like God the father in his nature, in that
God is always
spirit.
But this 2nd nature is the nature of a man..
So the
Word became flesh,
became human.
The word
"became" means it first was not, then it was later...(In other words, it
"became")
Jesus is the
image of the invisible God.
Jesus is human...and we can see humans!
So while Jesus is always God, and as God is always invisible spirt, Jesus is also totally human too!
Thats why we can say of Jesus, that he is the "
Image of the invisible God"...For in him was the
fullness of what God is...yet due to this 2nd nature of being human we also can see Jesus.
A spirit does not have flesh and bone .
This means that God does not have flesh and bone, for as we learned at the start, "
God is spirit"
So when Jesus said to his men, "
A spirit does not have flesh and bone" who was he actually including in this teaching?....
That's right, the Father!
I was just noticing that not only do I fill my posts with listings of the scriptures that support my views,I actually quote scripture greatly in my posts!
In fact, if you
color the parts of my posts to show what comes directly from the Scripture, you dont really have much left that is not taken directly from the Bible...
