God is Spirit.

The Spirit that is God is not created but has created everything by His act of will.

God who is Spirit is everywhere and inhabits His creation.

God does not need a mouth to speak or eyes to see because he has total instant control over everything.

There is no power or energy or matter that God is not in charge of and causing to continuie.

God did not come from anywhere but created and inhabits everywhere to come from.

In Him we live and move and have our being.












God is in Life.

Death is in darkness.


Dan
Amen Charlie

It takes the Spirit of God to understand anything this deep. The flesh will not grasp it no matter how it is put to them.


1 Corinthians 2
9 But as it is written: "Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, Nor have entered into the heart of man The things which God has prepared for those who love Him."
10 But God has revealed them to us through His Spirit. For the Spirit searches all things, yes, the deep things of God.
11 For what man knows the things of a man except the spirit of the man which is in him? Even so no one knows the things of God except the Spirit of God.
12 Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the Spirit who is from God, that we might know the things that have been freely given to us by God.
Dan
I missed this part

"God is in Life.

Death is in darkness.


Very true
ozell


God is a spirit yet God has all the features of man.

Gen 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.

Gen 1:27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

God has feet

Ex 24:1 And he said unto Moses, Come up unto the LORD, thou, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel; and worship ye afar off.
9: Then went up Moses, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel:
10: And they saw the God of Israel: and there was under his feet as it were a paved work of a sapphire stone, and as it were the body of heaven in his clearness.
11: And upon the nobles of the children of Israel he laid not his hand: also they saw God, and did eat and drink.


God has a face

Ex 33:11 And the LORD spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend. And he turned again into the camp: but his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, departed not out of the tabernacle.

God has a backside

20: And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live.
21: And the LORD said, Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon a rock:
22: And it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a clift of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand while I pass by:
23: And I will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my back parts: but my face shall not be seen.


God is a spirit which has the same body parts as a flesh and blood being

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


John 14:26
King James Bible
But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.


Now, I will share with you the simple to confound the wise.


In the beginning, the Lord speaks into existence the entire universe, right ?

This action, yielded mathematical equations. How far the earth is
from the sun and moon, so on, so forth. All the laws of gravity. The
water is separated from the sky, and the dimensions are all within
a mathematical equation:

http://exploringafrica.matrix.msu.edu/stud...m14/genesis.php
6And God said, "Let there be space between the waters, to separate water from water." 7And so it was. God made this space to separate the waters above from the waters below. 8And God called the space "sky." This happened on the second day.


Nothing in life, from the universe, to DNA of the human body, is without
measurements :

http://www.nccbuscc.org/nab/bible/revelati...evelation21.htm

Revelation
Chapter 21

9 One of the seven angels who held the seven bowls filled with the seven last plagues came and said to me, "Come here. I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb." 10
10
He took me in spirit to a great, high mountain and showed me the holy city Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from God.
11
It gleamed with the splendor of God. Its radiance was like that of a precious stone, like jasper, clear as crystal.
12
It had a massive, high wall, with twelve gates where twelve angels were stationed and on which names were inscribed, (the names) of the twelve tribes of the Israelites.
13
There were three gates facing east, three north, three south, and three west.
14
The wall of the city had twelve courses of stones as its foundation, on which were inscribed the twelve names of the twelve apostles 11 of the Lamb.



These instructions of the 12 Tribes of Israel, are most important in the
mathematical understanding of our Christian walk with the Lord.


You read how in the above info, it describes many numerical sets of information? 7 bowls, 12 gates, 12 stones, 12 apostles . . .

Why are the sacred gematria's involved in scripture ?

All this is from Jesus, who promised to you :

John 14:26
King James Bible
But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you.


You see, bring all things to your remembrance, is not only whatso-
ever I (Jesus) said unto you . . . it is the remembrance from Jesus from the beginning of time, not from just Jesus earth walk for 33 years.


http://www.wcg.org/lit/god/wordwasgod.htm
Inasmuch as John 1:1-3 explicitly states that both the Word and God are divine, it is unnecessary to go further to prove that the Word, who became Jesus Christ, is an eternal, noncreated, hypostasis of God.


http://www.gnpcb.org/esv/search/?q=John+1%3A1-3
The Word Became Flesh : John 1:1-3
1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was in the beginning with God. 3 All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made.

So, if we believe Jesus, " But the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost, whom the Father will send in my name, he shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you " . . .

. . . Which I know, we all do.

All the geometry, science, geography, visions, dreams, prophecy, etc. . . . will be brought to our remembrance.

Correction, the voice of God 'said' ( to speak ) :

And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light. Genesis 1:3 (NIV)

http://www.muhammadanism.org/Jesus/JesusInfinite.htm

Power, energy, and mass are all creatures. The convertibility between matter and energy is seen in Einstein's famous equation, E = MC2 , where E = energy, M = mass, and C = speed of light (c = 2.99792458 108 m/s ). Thus, it is obvious that God did not use energy to create the material universe, since matter and energy are equivalent terms. The law of conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed. It is converted according to Einstein's equation. Claiming that God used energy to create the universe denies the creation event, because changing energy to matter, or vice versa, is a conversion process, and not a creation event.

The divine power to create comes solely from God Himself. The divine Word is a spiritual, knowledgeable, and volitional reality. God's word is infinitely powerful, but it does not consist of quantitative physical or temporal dimensions. God said, 'Be' and the worlds were called into existence by the power of the word.

And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light. Genesis 1:3 (NIV)

The word of God spoke the universe into being from nothingness. Such a divine creative act requires absolute infinite power, because a creative act brings into existence a being from non-being. Whereas, a conversion process begins with a being (energy or matter) and ends with a being (matter or energy). In a creation event there is an infinite metaphysical or ontological distances between being and non-being. And, it takes absolute infinite power to transverse this metaphysical distance. Scripture states that Deity's omnipotent power has its source in the divine Word of God.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. John 1:1-3 (NIV)

what about the next verses?

Col 1:18 And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.

Jesus said

Jn17v
1: These words spake Jesus, and lifted up his eyes to heaven, and said, Father, the hour is come; glorify thy Son, that thy Son also may glorify thee:
2: As thou hast given him power over all flesh, that he should give eternal life to as many as thou hast given him.
3: And this is life eternal, that they might know thee the only true God, and Jesus Christ, whom thou hast sent.
4: I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do.
5: And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.6: I have manifested thy name unto the men which thou gavest me out of the world: thine they were, and thou gavest them me; and they have kept thy word.


also the Lord created the heavens and earth first, Man did not get created until the 6th day.

the Lord said let us make man in our image, when he said this their was no man.

Adam is the first man it is written , how can the prophets and apostles be before him.

1Cor 15:45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.
1Tm 2:13 For Adam was first formed, then Eve.


so who is the us and our, or who is the Lord taking to?

Gen 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.

There are several spirits in the pages of the bible. When we run across this word we must be able to define it at each instance. Once a person begins to understand the different types of spirits, and how the word spirit is used, all the guessing games will be alleviated. By properly dividing the scriptures, we will cut down on all of the confusion of an individual’s creative ability. In other words, read the scripture and allow the book to explain itself. Many people today think when the word spirit is used in the pages of the bible it either has no substantial existence, or some imagined form of shapeless apparition. When spirit is used does it represent a phantom only? Or does it portray other things?

First that which is natural and then that which is spiritual.
The first man (Adam) was made a living soul.
The second Adam was made a quickening spirit.
When Yah creates he always has the end in mind.
The ones he was speaking to were the 7 spirits of Yah.
The seven spirits of Yah are the ministering spirits sent forth to minster to those who should become the heirs of salvation.
They are wisdom, counsel, might, understanding, knowledge, spirit of the Lord and Fear of the Lord.
They are the seven pillars of wisdom
The seven Angels blowing the trumpets in John's vision.
The seven lamps before the throne
The seven eyes of the Lamb
The seven who was with Zerrubabel in Zecheriah's vision.
The seven spirits who are the posession of Jesus Christ Yeshua Ha Moshiach.


God is a Spirit.
He is the Father of Spirits.
HE IS The I AM

When Jesus rose from the dead was he a GHOST, or invisible as you say.

John20v1: The first day of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre.
2: Then she runneth, and cometh to Simon Peter, and to the other disciple, whom Jesus loved, and saith unto them, They have taken away the Lord out of the sepulchre, and we know not where they have laid him.
3: Peter therefore went forth, and that other disciple, and came to the sepulchre.
4: So they ran both together: and the other disciple did outrun Peter, and came first to the sepulchre.
5: And he stooping down, and looking in, saw the linen clothes lying; yet went he not in.
6: Then cometh Simon Peter following him, and went into the sepulchre, and seeth the linen clothes lie,
7: And the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself.
8: Then went in also that other disciple, which came first to the sepulchre, and he saw, and believed.
9: For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise again from the dead.
10: Then the disciples went away again unto their own home.
11: But Mary stood without at the sepulchre weeping: and as she wept, she stooped down, and looked into the sepulchre,
12: And seeth two angels in white sitting, the one at the head, and the other at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain.
13: And they say unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? She saith unto them, Because they have taken away my Lord, and I know not where they have laid him.
14: And when she had thus said, she turned herself back, and saw Jesus standing, and knew not that it was Jesus.
15: Jesus saith unto her, Woman, why weepest thou? whom seekest thou? She, supposing him to be the gardener, saith unto him, Sir, if thou have borne him hence, tell me where thou hast laid him, and I will take him away.
16: Jesus saith unto her, Mary. She turned herself, and saith unto him, Rabboni; which is to say, Master.
17: Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and to my God, and your God.


19: Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.
20: And when he had so said, he shewed unto them his hands and his side. Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the Lord.
21: Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you.
22: And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost:
23: Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained.
24: But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.
25: The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe.
26: And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you.
27: Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.
28: And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.

man's understanding of a spirit is not what the bible teaches.

John 2
19 Jesus answered and said to them, "Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up."


1Cor15v35: But some man will say, How are the dead raised up? and with what body do they come?
36: Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not quickened, except it die:
37: And that which thou sowest, thou sowest not that body that shall be, but bare grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other grain:

38: But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed his own body.

39: All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds.

40: There are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.

41: There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars: for one star differeth from another star in glory.

42: So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption:
43: It is sown in dishonour; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power:
44: It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body.
45: And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit.
46: Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is natural; and afterward that which is spiritual.
47: The first man is of the earth, earthy: the second man is the Lord from heaven.
48: As is the earthy, such are they also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are heavenly.
49: And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly.
50: Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.


Man is made in the Image of God

Gen 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.

Jesus in his spiritual body has hands and feet as does a fleshly body


Jn20v19: Then the same day at evening, being the first day of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace be unto you.
20: And when he had so said, he shewed unto them his hands and his side. Then were the disciples glad, when they saw the Lord.
21: Then said Jesus to them again, Peace be unto you: as my Father hath sent me, even so send I you.
22: And when he had said this, he breathed on them, and saith unto them, Receive ye the Holy Ghost:
23: Whose soever sins ye remit, they are remitted unto them; and whose soever sins ye retain, they are retained.
24: But Thomas, one of the twelve, called Didymus, was not with them when Jesus came.
25: The other disciples therefore said unto him, We have seen the Lord. But he said unto them, Except I shall see in his hands the print of the nails, and put my finger into the print of the nails, and thrust my hand into his side, I will not believe.
26: And after eight days again his disciples were within, and Thomas with them: then came Jesus, the doors being shut, and stood in the midst, and said, Peace be unto you.
27: Then saith he to Thomas, Reach hither thy finger, and behold my hands; and reach hither thy hand, and thrust it into my side: and be not faithless, but believing.
28: And Thomas answered and said unto him, My Lord and my God.

Didn't this start with me saying that God said to His Saints Prophets Apostles and all of His Sons?

"And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness".

God did not say "In My Image" He said "In Our Image". Christ is the image of the invisible God. God who is Spirit in Many bodies.

You are being prepared for God in His Spirit form. So when that is accomplished at the return of Christ. When you are Changed in a moment in the twinkling of an eye you become the image of God in the Spirit and one of the "our" that God was talking to.

God is Spirit.

The Spirit that is God is not created but has created everything by His act of will.

God who is Spirit is everywhere and inhabits His creation.

God does not need a mouth to speak or eyes to see because he has total instant control over everything.

There is no power or energy or matter that God is not in charge of and causing to continuie.

God did not come from anywhere but created and inhabits everywhere to come from.

In Him we live and move and have our being.












God is in Life.

Death is in darkness.
