The Mystery of Creation: Chapter 3: Understanding the Trinity: Spirits Have Ethereal Bodies

Spirits Have Ethereal Bodies                                                                                                  

                Now, according to the Bible, spirits are vessels that can actually move and do things.  They aren’t just invisible energy that flows through a system.  A spirit can hover over things, just as Genesis 1:2 says, “And the Spirit of God was hovering…” showing that God was present in Spirit above the surface of the Earth.  Now the Holy Spirit is everywhere, just as the energy is everywhere within the computer.  What Genesis was saying, though, is that God’s very conscious mind was hovering there over the Earth.  He was focused on the Earth at that time.  His “control unit” was focusing a good deal of energy on Earth’s creation. 

                Besides this, there are many others that refer to the Spirit of the Lord coming upon someone, or the spirit leaving a person’s body.  Genesis 7:22 indicates that the spirit is like a breath, or like a gas in the air.  1 Samuel 28:13 says, “I saw a spirit ascending out of the earth.”  1 Kings 22:21 says, “Then a spirit came forward and stood before the Lord.”  1 Corinthians 5:3 says, “For I indeed, as absent in body but present in spirit.”  There are so many more, but the point is that if it can come upon something and/or leave it, if it can hover, if it can stand before someone or something, then it must be an entity or an invisible, ethereal vessel.

                This makes sense from a non-Biblical perspective too.  Forces move things.  Force creates movement.  Therefore, as bodies interact with other bodies, forces interact with bodies and other forces.  You can have two forces of gravity working against one another.  Two magnets can create a force between them that attracts one another or repels one another depending on which end of the magnets you have facing each other.  The harder you try to push the two magnets together the more resistance you get.  It is as if you are attempting to squeeze something large into a very small hole.  Likewise, that same magnet can actually push the other magnet without touching it because the two forces are working against one another like two bodies pressing against one another.

                Not only this, but other things indicate that forces, or spirits, are like invisible bodies.  A shockwave is not a physical force.  However, it can knock you over.  Low pressure systems and high pressure systems in weather can form tornados.  Over and over again we can see that forces are things that move, and if they can move then they are bodies of some kind.
