God "spiritualizes" EVERYTHING.

[ScottA]

To say something spirit is talking about it's composition. To do something in the spirit of involves such things as the spirit comparable, the spirit of justice.

You pointedly objected statement that God is a spirit in composition.

You must have the wrong guy.

 

[CoreIssue]

So you say.

Then copy and paste the exact words from the translation you're using to prove me wrong.

 

[CoreIssue]

You must have the wrong guy.

The prove me wrong by stating in print here God is a spirit.

 

[CoreIssue]

If it was a quote, it was a quote. If it was not a quote, it was not a quote.

You sure guess a lot.

Again, prove me wrong by posting right here that God is a spirit.

 

[ScottA]

Again, prove me wrong by posting right here that God is a spirit.

How about this...will this do?

God is spirit.

Or how about this?

Are you denying that God is a spirit?

 

[CoreIssue]

How about this...will this do?

Or how about this?

That was me quoting you.

Can't say it can you?

 

[ScottA]

That was me quoting you.

Can't say it can you?

No, that was me quoting you. Just click on the little arrow by your quote, it will take you back to it and you can read for yourself.

What you said as a Bible quote was not a quote.

There is only one place in the Bible where it says God is spirit.
John 4
23 Yet a time is coming and has now come when the true worshipers will worship the Father in the Spirit and in truth, for they are the kind of worshipers the Father seeks.

24 God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in the Spirit and in truth.”

25 The woman said, “I know that Messiah” (called Christ) “is coming. When he comes, he will explain everything to us.”

26 Then Jesus declared, “I, the one speaking to you—I am he.”

Don't worship my flesh, worship my spirit for it is God. And worshipers most worship with their spirits, Not flesh.

 

[ScottA]

This is exactly the same thing that I have been quoting, just as you have here:

God is spirit,

...Meaning that what you are saying about me here, is a flat out lie:

I proved your initial claim was false.

You guys should talk semantics.

Is there a point to your topic or do you prefer to dance around, refuse to answer direct questions, or stick to vague statements as others have noted? You made that statement in the OP, so seems to me, you should clarify your meaning of it as asked and be prepared to discuss & debate it backing up what you believe with scripture quotes.

 

[ScottA]

I proved your initial claim was false.

You quoting the same scripture as me doesn't prove anything...except maybe that you are a nut job.

I said and quoted that "God is spirit." Do you have a problem with that? Perhaps it is you who should make yourself clear.

 

[CoreIssue]

You never actually posted Scripture. You even said you paraphrased it.

So try again and post it. Third last request for me. So far you have not.

You posted no verse that God is spirit.

Post it now if you have it.

No...I think I'll just quote you lying one last time before you go.

I'm sorry...you have confused "the scriptures must be spiritually discerned" with "must be translated by men."

No I'm saying:-
quote"Luke 9:23
“If anyone desires to come after Me, let him deny himself, and take up his cross daily, and follow Me."

We need to be proactively in the spirit, setting our eyes on God, whom is spirit. Taking up ones' cross, means laying down the physical.

In context it mean following a way of behaviour that would lead to ones death.

For us today it can mean that, or it can mean loosing ones livelyhood because of ones Christian principals, or it can mean giving up something in order to serve God more." unquote.

Just what I said in reply to you.
That taking up ones cros can be a spiritual activity or it can be a series of physical actions that can lead to death, loss of employment etc.

The Christian life is more than just spiritual, it involves how we live.

I understand your point, but that belittles what God is doing in the world to a warm and fuzzy christian country club lifestyle. It's more than that. These are the times of the gentiles, the times of the spirit of God living and not men making nice. Yes, it does mean feeding the poor, etc., but so much more. More importantly, it means being lead into all truth and bringing food from heaven to the ends of the earth. But this He does in us, in spirit, the flesh is just a vehicle to reach the lost, it's not a lifestyle or a home..."the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.”

"food from heaven" care to clarify?

Christ.
