(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, it’s in history books)

Not quite true ... listen to Jesus ...
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.
BTW ... Constantine was never Pope.

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 don’t 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 (it’s kind of confusing the way it’s written) but ( http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/04294b.htm ) there was a pope Constantine.

Either way it’s a good internet resource, and fun reading.
