Some people make the assumption that spirits look like we do. But is that correct? So then spirits ages as we do so they fit into our bodies? Infants are pretty small. Or are they like a star of light?

What makes you think spirit can be seen?Some people make the assumption that spirits look like we do. But is that correct? So then spirits ages as we do so they fit into our bodies? Infants are pretty small. Or are they like a star of light?
they can be seen by other spirits. so perhaps someone can see them if God permits spiritually? we can afterall hear spirits spiritually.What makes you think spirit can be seen?
Don't know. and God has considered it irrelevant for us to know in this life. If it was important for us to know, He would have made sure it made it in Scripture.Some people make the assumption that spirits look like we do. But is that correct?

The expression 'our spirit' or 'the spirit' is not an entity, it is the term used for our consciousness.Some people make the assumption that spirits look like we do. But is that correct?

That is an assumption, you need evidence for beliefs.they can be seen by other spirits. so perhaps someone can see them if God permits spiritually? we can afterall hear spirits spiritually.
1 Corinthians 12: 8 for to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, 9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit, 10 to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. 11 But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills.That is an assumption, you need evidence for beliefs.
Devin, it seems to me you are lost in the desert seeing all manner of mirages.1 Corinthians 12: 8 for to one is given the word of wisdom through the Spirit, to another the word of knowledge through the same Spirit, 9 to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healings by the same Spirit, 10 to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another discerning of spirits, to another different kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. 11 But one and the same Spirit works all these things, distributing to each one individually as He wills.
I would think seeing spirits may be part of the discerning of spirits.
It is the message they are giving that is important, not how they look.would think seeing spirits may be part of the discerning of spirits
I suppose spiritual discernment could work any number of ways. For instance God could show you with your spiritual eyes what a spirit actually looks like. The true nature of it's spiritual image.It is the message they are giving that is important, not how they look.
Satan can disguise him self as an angel of light, how by just looking do you tell which spirit is from God And which is from the devil?
Very good answer thank you for the time you put into it it is one of the best answers I have heard on this subject again thank you for your brilliant answer may God bless you richly in his word.What do people's spirits look like?
OP ^
God IS an Eternal “Spirit”…
God HAS Seven “Spirits”
Angels ARE “Created” spirits…
Men ARE “Created” and HAVE a spirit.
That which IS a Spirit, (God/Angels) HAS the POWER to APPEAR in the LIKENESS “AS” a man. (And at “THAT” time a man CAN visibly SEE a Spirit.)
** A natural born (OF a mans SEED) mans “spirit”, “IS” that mans “TRUTH”, (in his Heart).
** A supernatural born “AGAIN” (OF Gods SEED), mans “spirit”, “IS” Gods “TRUTH”, (in that mans “circumcised new Heart”. )
Thus…a mans “spirit” IS NOT A PHYSICAL or MYSTICAL form or shape human men can SEE with their human EYES.
Human men CAN SEE, behaviors, results of another mans words and actions…
Determining IF such behaviors, words, actions DO or DO NOT parallel Christ Jesus’ teaching of Righteous Behavior….IF THEY DO or DO NOT….the other man OBSERVING…
Can Know that man BY his Fruits (behavior)…
Righteous or Not.
Man was Created and Made in Gods “LIKENESS” and “IMAGE”.
Gods “LIKENESS” is He “HAS” a spirit, as do men.
Jesus’ “IMAGE” was revealed … Head, Face, Neck, two arms, two legs, hands, feet, trunk, in the same fashion AS a man.
Glory to God,

Thanks that's refreshing to hear!Acts 12:13-15 KJV
13) And as Peter knocked at the door of the gate, a damsel came to hearken, named Rhoda.
14) And when she knew Peter's voice, she opened not the gate for gladness, but ran in, and told how Peter stood before the gate.
15) And they said unto her, Thou art mad. But she constantly affirmed that it was even so. Then said they, It is his angel.
I think their idea was that Peter's spirit looked like Peter.
Much love!
