Text
If God wants to appear in a body, He can, but in essence He is Spirit; not a spirit, but He is Spirit. The article is not in the original at all. He is Spirit. That is why He is present everywhere.
I don't define God: I experience Him. I can have a doctrinal idea of God, but afterward I find the reality when I come-in touch with HIM.
