Someone posted a comment on Facebook that I can't ignore. The argument was that Hallowe'en celebrates and commemorates the dead. Following that was the comment that Jesus is dead and he and the Holy Spirit are spirits and commemorating them is the same thing. I'm afraid that doesn't qualify as a sensible statement. If Jesus was resurrected as the Bible says, he was resurrected in a new body. Not as a spirit.
This is the same bad kind of thinking many people do when they attempt to explain what God is. The world we live in is not reality. In whatever state or place God is is where we will find true reality. Our world was created within whatever his world is. You could say we are a virtual reality, not of God but as his creation. God is invisible simply because He has not equipped us to see Him. He is not a spirit. He is very real. We live in a universe created by Him with the tools to understand only our universe and I dare say not all of that. Seemingly every day scientists are amazed about something they find that doesn't make sense. When Abraham saw God he was equipped temporarily to be able to see Him. The same goes with people like Daniel and the Apostle John. If Jesus was resurrected he was probably of the same substance of God, whatever that is. Those who saw him were temporarily equipped. When those who are worthy are brought back to life by God they will not be spirits but will be like Him and will live in his reality. We will be equipped in that reality to see and understand all his World. Here in this world we are equipped only to see and understand what God has allowed us to. No, God is not a spirit in the sense of the word we understand. He is more real than we are.
