In context, I Cor. 15 is talking about resurrected bodies when it mentions spiritual bodies. It is not referring to God.

Is God spiritual or physical?

The fault in Bible complications is not with God or the Bible, but with men who refuse to believe what God says and think we have to interpret what He says in order to get the meaning. Dake Bible -Mark 11:17 note

1 Corinthians 15:44 ...there is a spiritual body.

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

If you believed that God has a body... Based on the above Scriptures, what kind of body would you think God has? A Physical or a Spiritual?
When the Lord said God is a Spirit, He did not say God has a spirit body. I Cor. 15:44 does not say that God is a spiritual body.
There are none so blind as those who have eyes and yet still cannot see!
What blindness? I said nothing untrue here. The Lord never said God has a spirit body and neither did St. Paul.
You have been shown that God is a spirit and spirits have bodies.

Show your unwillingness to accept the Word of God if you like, but you would be more pleasing to God if you would believe what HE said about Himself.

Genesis 1:26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
As God is a spirit, I suppose the Word wasn't.
He was the other part of "We".
How do you get that God is (a spirit) and the Word was not?
One of Them had to have some substance.
Don't you think?
Who is the "We" you are talking about?
I should have said "Us", not "We", from Gen 1:26.

Yes both God and the Word (Jesus) have substance. Just because a person is a spirit does not mean they have no substance.

Is there anything created without form? All that which we see shows us what is unseen. If something doesn't have form then what is it but desolate, waste, and empty? It would be nothing because where there is no form there is confusion or nothingness, whereas a spirit is something with form and not void. According to God's word a spirit has form and image which men have seen numerous times.

Gen. 18; 32:24-30; Ex. 24:9-11; Josh. 5:13-15; Judg. 6:11-23; 13:3-23; 1Chr. 21:16-17; Job 42:5; Isa. 6; Ezek. 1:26; Dan. 7:9-14; 10:5-6; Acts 7:56-59; Rev. 4:2-5; 5:1-7; etc.)


Word up!

No I can't, just like you can't weigh the air... but it is still real and has substance.

Air can be weighed actually.

Air in a confined container can in fact be weighed. You are right. Bad analogy. I don't know that you can weigh floating non-confined air.

Are you equating spirit with air?
Air can be quantified by scientific testing for the most minute trace particles, but spirit?
