Problem is all of your mumbo jumbo does not line up with the Word of God.patrissimo wrote: ↑Tue Apr 05, 2022 5:55 pmI do understand it and I understand it enough to know it isn't true. You are still ascribing the properties of matter onto a Pure Spirit. This is essentially what atheists do when they argue that our minds are merely epiphenomena of matter as smoke to the fire. Spirit and matter are not the same thing. Spirit is not merely a more refined version of matter as Orson Pratt argued. It is something entirely different.bibleman wrote: ↑Tue Apr 05, 2022 5:37 pmNo reinterpretation at all...patrissimo wrote: ↑Tue Apr 05, 2022 4:04 pm"Is there any biblical evidence that God the Father, God the Son, or God the Holy Spirit are bodiless?"
Yes, but it will be reinterpreted. I've already tried going down that road.
God does NOT have a physical body! But He does have a spiritual body!
What is so hard to understand about that?
Materialists (i.e., those who posit that all of reality is material in nature) stuff everything into the material world and attempt to explain it all accordingly."
If Spirit had the properties of matter, then God could never be the One than whom nothing greater can be conceived. For example: Dake says that God has a body and is of a certain size. Size is a property of matter and includes the concept of quantity. Any kind of body conceivable will have a limited size. Anything with quantity can always be conceived of as greater. If someone is six feet tall, they can be conceived of as even taller. Now, what is greater; to have a limited measurement or to be beyond measure? IF you answer the former, then it must be explained how a limited size is greater than the boundless or immeasurable.
Dake also denies Divine Omnipresence in the traditional sense of the word which means wholly present in all things while being contained by none. This denial is consistent with the idea that Spirit has the properties of matter. Again, this is contrary to God being the One who is greater than can be conceived. The Omnipresent is greater than the limited. If a non-Omnipresent god is said to be greater, the question must be answered: How is spatial limitation greater than Omnipresence?
When Christ spoke to the Samaritan woman, He told her that true disciples will not have to only worship in Jerusalem or on a mountain, both of which are spatial locations. This seems to suggest that Spirit is not limited to location.
It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. 1 Cor 15:44
God's Word makes it clear for those who have enough intelligence to read English!
