Response to original question. The WORD of God is LOVE.

Love thy neighbor as thyself. That would take care of all problems if practiced by everyone.

Hello.

As you probably know the Word of God is the Bible. The bible is the Word and the Word is God. We know that God cannot nor will ever be in flesh form, but will always remain in an immortal form. But, you actually could say that he "was" in flesh form. God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit, are all considered to be one according to scripture. When Jesus Christ came to earth as a child he was "flesh" just like we are right now. But on this day God or the Word has not presented Him/Itself in a flesh form.

Does this answer your question?

Word of God is God's Law... His only Word...and God speak to anyone...
"As for God, his way is perfect; the LORD's word is flawless. He shields all who take refuge in him."
2 Samuel 22:31

Interesting Question!
The bible states that god changed from being an immaterial being and took on the form of a human being. The bible states "Great is the mystery of Godliness for god was manifest in the flesh". After the resurrection of Christ He appeared to many people and several times to his apostles. At one point he walked through walls and ate food with his disciples. His appearance stunned the apostle James in such a way that he fell to his knees exclaiming christ as lord and god. What is really interesting about this appearance is that Thomas put his finger into the holes of christ hands and put his hand into the open wound of christ side. Think about that! Flesh feeling flesh in tangelable immortal form. This says that the risen christ is in the bodily form as we are, only it is immortal. The apostle Paul said, " Flesh and blood cannot enter the kingdom of God...for this mortality must put on immortality and this curruption must put on incorruption". If we read in between the lines we see that flesh can inherit the kingdom of god apart from blood. In like manner when the end of the world comes god will raise eveyone that has ever lived into an immortal state. That means that our bodies with be reunited with our spirits in immortal form like christ.

Nothing of flesh is God

nothing of material is God

nothing measurable is God

all things that claim God is flesh are lies

God made our souls perfect. it is our flesh that is imperfect.

it is our souls that are made in God's image

it is our souls that reveal morality, correct thinking, and give us peace

God IS
it's that simple
close your eyes, empty your mind of thought and doubt and you will find Him
the doubt is the hard part
we are all trained to doubt from the moment of our birth

I suggest that you go back to the beginning of the bible and read it
Again...God created man in his image...from the dust of the ground and
breathed into his nostrils the breath of life...no where in Genesis
does it say he created soul from Dust.

The word of God is Christ whom is God.

1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2He was in the beginning with God. 3All things came into being through Him, and apart from Him nothing came into being that has come into being. 4In Him was life, and the life was the Light of men. 5The Light shines in the darkness, and the darkness did not comprehend it.
There came a man sent from God, whose name was John. 7He came as a witness, to testify about the Light, so that all might believe through him. 8He was not the Light, but he came to testify about the Light. 9There was the true Light which, coming into the world, enlightens every man. 10He was in the world, and the world was made through Him, and the world did not know Him. 11He came to His own, and those who were His own did not receive Him. 12But as many as received Him, to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name, 13who were born, not of blood nor of the will of the flesh nor of the will of man, but of God.
14And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we saw His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth. 15John testified about Him and cried out, saying, "This was He of whom I said, 'He who comes after me has a higher rank than I, for He existed before me.'" 16For of His fullness we have all received, and grace upon grace. 17For the Law was given through Moses; grace and truth were realized through Jesus Christ. 18No one has seen God at any time; the only begotten God who is in the bosom of the Father, He has explained Him.
REMEMBER THE WORD WAS MADE FLESH AND DWELT AMONG US!!!

I trust that your statement "no where in Genesis
does it say he created soul from Dust." means that the soul was not part of the physical creation event... And, that it stems from "breathed into his nostrils the breath of life", which is of God... Yes?

The "WORD OF GOD" is actually the Spokesperson of GOD. The Representative of ALMIGHTY GOD, on-behalf of GOD. [Rev 19:13 And He was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and His name is called THE WORD OF GOD]. This is Jesus Christ.

John 1:14 And the WORD was made flesh, and dwelt(TABERNACLE) among us, full of grace and truth.
[dwelt = tabernacle]

Rev 21:3 And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the TABERNACLE OF GOD is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God
himself shall be with them, and be their God.

Connecting the SUKKOT - The Feast of Tabernacles of the Jews - is the real BIRTHDAY OF JESUS CHRIST not December 25.

Read John 1:1-13. He (WORD) is the light. This is the Feast Chanukah - The Festival of Lights. That the first day of the Festival of Lights the WORD (Jesus) was conceived by the Holy Spirit.

Thus from the Festival of Lights up to Feast of Tabernacles is 9 months or 40 weeks or 280 days which is the average time of gestation of human body. Therefore the WORD (JESUS) was born on somewhere on the date of the Feast of Tabernacles. In Gregorian Calendar that was mid-September to October.

Read Luke 2:11-19. These passages will prove that Jesus was not born on icy month-December.

The Truth About the Soul

That's another inheritance from Egyptian myth and Greek Mythology. I have been asked about the soul. Probably by questioners tired of being exploited by the crooks of this world who have been for thousands of years using this one more item to keep the naive ones under the religious chain which, psychologically keeps the channel open for Mammon.

In fact, what indeed is the soul? The soul is not something we have, but something we are for a limited time. The soul is a condition. The condition of being alive. As soon as we are dead, the soul is non-existent. In Israel, whenever there is a massive accident or terrorist attack, the first question in the air is, "How many "nephashote" were there at the area? That's what soul is called in Hebrew; "nephesh." For dead casualties comes the second question. How many guphote, God forbid? That's what the dead body is in Hebrew, guphah. Therefore, guphote, the dead ones.

Now, before you think or say, "Behold, Ben is back with another of his wild interpretations of the Scriptures, let me invite you to Genesis 2:7. "When the Almighty formed man from the dust of the ground, He breathed into his nostrils the breath of life, and man became a living soul." That's what man is, "a living soul". At the time of death, as the body goes back to the dust, according to Ecclesiastes 12:7, the breath of life returns to God Who gave it."

The expression, "returns to God Who gave it," means only that something is gone; it is over; it is just no more. It means that at death, when the breath of life is separated from the body, the soul ceases to exist. We are allowed to name the breath of life spirit, which only makes of the soul a temporary emanation. Then, spirit could name almost any kind of emanation.

So, no more fear of souls, or the thought that soul survives the body, or is collected somewhere to be loaned, so to speak, to a body who is being born, or that it will enjoy or suffer any kind of afterlife. We are all living souls and, once dead, the soul is gone as if it did not exist, or ever had any life of its own.

Are you a Sadducees adherent?

The being of God is referred to as 'Spirit' (Genesis 1:2 - "And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.")... Does that mean you think of God as dead, since He has no body through which to 'live'?

What about: (emphasis added for ease of identification)
(1) Genesis 6:3 - "And the LORD said, My SPIRIT shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years."
(2) Genesis 41:38 - "And Pharaoh said unto his servants, Can we find such a one as this is, a man in whom the SPIRIT of God is?"
(3) Exodus 3:9 - "And Moses spake so unto the children of Israel: but they hearkened not unto Moses for anguish of SPIRIT, and for cruel bondage."
(4) Exodus 31:3 - "And I have filled him with the SPIRIT of God, in wisdom, and in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship,..."
(5) Exodus 35:21 - "And they came, every one whose heart stirred him up, and every one whom his SPIRIT made willing, and they brought the LORD's offering to the work of the tabernacle of the congregation, and for all his service, and for the holy garments."
(6) Exodus 35:31 - "And he hath filled him with the SPIRIT of God, in wisdom, in understanding, and in knowledge, and in all manner of workmanship;..."
(7) Numbers 27:16 - "Let the LORD, the God of the SPIRITS of all flesh, set a man over the congregation,..."
(8) Deuteronomy 2:30 - "But Sihon king of Heshbon would not let us pass by him: for the LORD thy God hardened his SPIRIT, and made his heart obstinate, that he might deliver him into thy hand, as appeareth this day."

Are all these references the same word (including God)?
