(God being a spirit only came from the Greeks who theorized that any God with a physical form would have a weakness, so Constantine forced the Nicene Creed on the early church after he made himself Pope, there are many who died defending the belief that god was a separate personage from Jesus Christ, its in history books)
Not quite true ... listen to Jesus ...John 4:23 But the hour cometh, and now is, whenBTW ... Constantine was never Pope.
the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
I read the same scriptures, but come away with a different meaning.
John 4:23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when
the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
Yep, God is a Spirit, and more, not just a spirit.
Re-read my post #404, Try to see why I have said what I have said, not interpret it the way you have been taught to interpret.
You dont have to believe as I do, but understanding would sure be nice :-)
>>Constantine was never Pope
Catholic Encyclopedia, now it may be a different Constantine (its kind of confusing the way its written) but ( http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/04294b.htm ) there was a pope Constantine.
Either way its a good internet resource, and fun reading.
