You are satisfied with your own interpretation and are also quite satisfied that it contradicts your beliefs about a bodily resurrection.
I am not satisfied with holding conflicting thoughts in my mind, nor am I satisfied when someone answers a question with a "ask Jesus."
Like I said, if you don't want to examine your beliefs, that is fine by me. Just don't pretend to, and then cut off any inquiries.
All I did was ask you if Jesus saying something is "spirit" means that it is "symbolic." You have not been able or willing to entertain the thought. You accept that "spirit" equals "symbolic" dogmatically. That is fine.
I, however, will attempt to understand what Jesus said, instead of accepting my own interpretation as dogma.
Good luck with your journey.

I don't believe I used the word 'symbolic' or entertained the concept. Do you think that I did ?
What I did do was to make the point that JESUS was encouraging and emphasizing SPIRITUALITY in the John 6 passage, as opposed to PHYSICALITY. He begins this emphasis in verse 26 of the passage and continues with it until the end of the chapter.
