haibe:

angels are not disembodied spirits, the term disembodied spirit came from the mythology of ghosts and the false belief that the spirit in man is a person and immortal.

Angels have spiritual bodies or what the bible also calls heavenly body, because you can't see their body doesn't mean they do not have bodies.

Not everyone will be ressurected as spiritual, immortal beings, only the saint will be ressurected as spiritual beings, the rest are ressurected in w physical, mortal body that can die the second death after further judgments have taken place

i fix it for you

World English Dictionary
disembodied (ˌdɪsɪmˈbɒdɪd)

— adj
1. lacking a body or freed from the body; incorporeal
2. lacking in substance, solidity, or any firm relation to reality

Itsfacts:

no he did not materialize. he was flesh and bone and he said he is not a spirit or spirit being.

spirit in the kjv could mean ghost too because both terms were similar and so we have something like: holy ghost and holy spirit.

In other new traslations you will find the word ghost because this is what Jesus actually meant.

he wasn't a ghost (disembodied spirit of the deceased), he was alive as a spiritual being.

the point is you can't call angels disembodied spirits because they have their own bodies, you would only be deceiving yourself thinking they don't have a body.

If there was a word like "disphysicalbody", then you would be right calling them that but you can't be right saying they don't have bodies because they do.

spirits dont have bodies whether angels or anything you call spirit... they have to materialize to be have bodies.

human beings who wrote the dictionary do not need to know about heavenly/spiritual bodies since some of them may have never even heard of it.

the problem you have is that you are unable to differentiate the "suposed disembodied spirit of the dead" and "spirit beings".

If "all spirits" don't have bodies, then there won't be any need to qualify some with the adjective "disembodied"

If spirits in general don't have bodies, then it will be tautological to term some "disembodied spirits" since all don't have bodies.

In order words if all spirits dont have body, what is the essence or terming some "disembodied spirits"? its just like saying "night vigil" when we know vigil happens at night

The point is there is a mythical disembodied spirit of the dead (ghost) and spirit beings who have bodies that are invisible to human beings

the former (ghost) is a mythology because the dead are asleep in their grave and unconscious while the latter (spirit beings) is a reality.

spirits are disembodied all kind... the are like wind.

all spirits are disembodied. can you see the wind? that is how they all are. they only have body when they materialize.

understand what body means or is. there is nothing like disembodied spirits. but spirits are disembodied. disembodied is a word on its own. no such word like disembodied spirit. you can say disembodied dead people but not disembodied spirit. it does not make sense and it is err.

noun (plural ghosts):

The DISEMBODIED SPIRIT; the soul or spirit of a deceased person; a spirit appearing after death; an apparition; a specter.



ARE YOU TELLING ME A WHOLE DICTIONARY WHICH IS MEANT TO ENLIGHTEN PEOPLE IN ENGLISH LANGUAGE IS WRONG BY USING THE TERM "DISEMBODIED SPIRIT"??

you must be a joker.

the fact that it is qualified with disembodied means there are spirits that have bodies if not there won't be any need to qualify the word spirit with DISEMBODIED. because it will be tautological.

no. because not everyone have the spirit or are sons of God. after the resurrection you will see wonders. the gift will manifest and our body will be perfect better than that adam first had.

remember adam had flesh and was not spirit he was immortal then he sinned. so why do we need to drop out body to be immortal again?

because that is how God wants it, he wants us to be like the angels.

Neither can they die anymore: for they are
equal unto the angels; and are the children of God, being the children of the resurrection .
(Luke 20:36)

For in the resurrection they neither marry,
nor are given in marriage, but are as the
angels of God in heaven. (Mattew 22:30)

If we are still ressurecting in a physical body then we cannot be like the angels in heaven.

did i argue? the spiritual dont mean we will turn to spirit. you dont know what it is. but paul describe it in revelation. and paul see jesus with the wounds in revelation. the bible still calls jesus man not spirit or what ever. he is a man in heaven. angels are not men we turn to spirit like them it means we change from man to spirit beings like angels.

he didn't see Jesus literally standing at the right hand of God, what you don't know is that 'the right hand" signifies a place of honour or exaltation(1Kings 2:19; Mattew 20:21-23 ).

Jesus was exalted by God after his ascension, that is what it means to be standing or seated at the right hand of God, its nothing literal, if it were literal, another passage says he is seated at the right hand of God, how is it possible to be seated and standing at the right hand of God at the same time since they are mutually exclusive, in order words Jesus can't be seated and standing at the same time, seating/standing at the right hand of God signifies honour if not we would have millions of people seating at the right hand or God (Mattew 20:21-23).

please Jesus is not a man in heaven, heaven is a spiritual place meant for spiritual beings, flesh and blood cannot inherit it.

So Whenever the bible says Jesus is seated or standing at the right hand of God, it doesn't mean he is a man standing literally at God's throne but that He (Jesus) is exalted in the throne of heaven.

64 “You have said so,” Jesus replied.
“But I say to all of you: From now on you will
see the Son of Man sitting at the right hand
of the Mighty One and coming on the
clouds of heaven.”

Obviously they did not look up into heaven seeing a man standing at the right hand of a throne in heaven but at his second coming they will see that Jesus has been exalted in heaven.

all power in heaven and on earth created for him and by him. Standing at the right hand of God means he has been given all power and authority.

you did not address the point. Paul sees him the lamb as it was slain.
