This could answer the so-called orthodox christians view towards Jesus physical body and almost total neglect of his Spirit.. which he was before Mary was born and after and is now..

The so-called "view" towards Jesus' body is entirely based on the Spirit.

The orthodox Christians do not negelct the Spirit at all. To the contrary. Eastern Orthodoxy is all spiritual. Monastiticm is the backbone of eastern Christianity.

Rather, it's the west that seems to be spiritually-deprived, overindulged in the physical, material pleasures and the love of the world.

Not in my experience of RCC, EOC, and so-called protestant sects.. They ALL think a human is a physical body.. They even think Jesus is a physical body.. The human body is a conduit of the spirit.. made extremely clear by the New Testament especially Pauls ministry.. The human body was made for that purpose.. and ALL life on this planet was made for that purpose.. A human was created to find out they are really spirit(s).. For that express reason..
