Not so for Jesus, and not so for His regenerated-in-the-Spirit believers, for we shall be like Him.
"Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have" (Lk. 24:39 AV).
"Beloved, now are we the sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, when he shall appear, we shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is" (1 Jn._3:2 AV). I think that is the correct point of view.
Show me where Christ ever used the ‘regenerated-in-the-Spirit’... language ... IF you read the description of the formation of the Adam in Genesis ... The ‘flesh’ body of the Adam, was NOT living until the ‘breath of life’, which means soul, was breathed into his nostrils ... meaning the Adam’s soul/spirit, was ‘living’ before without a flesh body.
Now do you know when God created all ‘souls/spirit bodies’? Obviously before Genesis 1:2....
Perhaps a visit to the book of Ecclesiastes would help the ‘regenerated-in-the-Spirit’ club ...
9What has been is what will be,
and what has been done will be done again;
there is nothing new under the sun.
10Is there a case where one can say,
“Look, this is new”?
It has already existed
in the ages before us.
11There is no remembrance
of those who came before,
and those to come will not be remembered
by those who follow after.
AND
6Remember Him before the silver cord is snapped,
and the golden bowl is crushed,
before the pitcher is shattered at the spring,
and the wheel is broken at the well,
7before the dust returns to the ground from which it came,
and the spirit returns to God who gave it.
