If you say that The Father is not a Spirit, then you are lying, like the Devil.
I was not speaking of myself, but of him who I was replying to.
Also, "we shall all be changed", is a reference to getting a new "body".
And here is the error: many take that to mean a body of flesh glorified--which is not at all what is meant by us becoming One with God, nor could it be. God is the same and remains the same, but it is we who are changed.
See, the born again, have a Born Again Spirit, that is "One with Gods' Spirit. "In Christ".
However, thy have a dying body that is not redeemed.
They are waiting for the heavenly "inheritance", and that includes, the "twinkling of an eye"...... where the born again receive their new body.
THe new body is the same as the one that Jesus has, which walked out of the Tomb, and flew off the earth in full view of the Apostles.
The born again get a "new body", just like that one that Jesus has..... now.
This is another point commonly confused. It was not one event but two. His resurrection and His ascension were two different events ["
forty days"] apart. This was the burial of Jacob!
So, yes, Jesus was buried and rose again from the dead in the flesh proving His victory over death for the salvation of Israel, to whom He was sent. And, yes, He was raised up in the spirit and had overcome the curses of this world in His flesh.
But that was not what occurred at His ascension. Both events are presented, but both must be rightly divided. This is why after raising from the dead He instructed Mary, saying, “
Do not cling to Me, for I have not yet ascended to My Father." But also for those who doubt, “
Reach your finger here, and look at My hands; and reach your hand here, and put it into My side. Do not be unbelieving, but believing.” Nonetheless, His ascension was the actual event of Him going to be with (and One with) the Father, whom is
spirit. It is as He said:
"
That which is born of the flesh is flesh, and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit."
John 3:6
