"biloqewu, post: 433660, member: 7915"]God is represented by the things that were made, such as wind, which is invisible, which describes the invisibility of God. God is also described as consuming fire, to describe God as one who destroys. Yet God is not literally fire, nor literally wind, these are all things that describe attributes of God. The identity of God was given in a very simple way to Moses, "I AM". Here merely EXISTS. There is no "spiritual" side of things.
OK...now your lack of patience for others is loosening enough to start making sense. :) But I would comment on the part I bolded above. Although Heaven is a real place...and unreachable physically...it is reachable spiritually. It is here. And this means that the dimension of heaven exists here but on another plane of existence. Being spiritual in Christ means an awareness and even a way of seeing into the realm that makes things happen here. So then the heavenly realm is in our midst. We can see in 2 different dimensions at the same time when we walk in the Spirit.
Have you walked in that power?
There is God, and then there is what was made, which is physical and material. If you ascended to heaven, you would encounter a physical and literal city, with physical and literal streets, that angels physically and literally walk in, where Yeshuah who was physically and literally touched ascended into, where literal and physical food exists, that the Israelites physically and literally ate when the food of angels descended unto them that they called "manna". There is no "spiritual". There is no other "dimension". There is earth, and there is heaven, just as there is Miami, there is also Paris. One city exists in one place, and another city exists in another place. We have access to both cities, because they are both on the earth. You can use an airplane to leave from Miami to Paris, which was very difficult hundreds of years ago before airplanes existed, for these two cities exist in different continents. In a similar way regarding difficulty that men encountered in reaching certain places before, we do not have access to heaven, because we do not have the ability to reach a place so far into "space", which is what is above the earth, which is the "heavens", where the stars, sun, and moon are. The Andromeda galaxy, which is said to be the nearest galaxy to our Milky Way galaxy, is said to be around 2.5 million LIGHT YEARS away from earth, by what man thinks the speed of light is. If we were to use these calculations, that would mean it would take 2.5 million years to reach Andromeda AT THE SPEED OF LIGHT. This is why heaven is unreachable to us, not because it is some "spiritual" place we would not be able to see if we ascended there, but because of how far it is. It is a place that God "set-apart". Stop being so stubborn and understand what I am telling you.
I could say the same to you...but I don't want to be rude. ;)
You are thinking too much about physical things. God is Spirit. He lives in a place that is unknowable to us in the flesh. God is everywhere and nowhere. But the important thing for us is the kind of life that Jesus brought to us...an eternal kind of life in the Spirit. We are to actually keep our physical faculties OUT OF FOCUS so as to focus on the Spiritual side...as in...set your mind on things above. We can only do this if we have the spiritual faculties to see what is invisible to the common man.
You say you are Christian. What does it mean to you to be spiritual in Christ? What does it mean to put on Christ as armour?
