And simply answered that God has the power to manifest Himself in the flesh whenever He chooses, including when He comes in the clouds and sets foot upon the earth again. There's no necessity to maintain a physical form in the meantime. God is fully and properly Spirit and doesn't need a physical form for existence.
If I had a car that I intended to use ten years from now I would have to store it in a garage... because I cannot manifest that car from thin air when I choose. But surely you wouldn't insist on putting such a limitation on God? Do you allow for God (as a Spirit) to manifest in the flesh when he chooses?
No, the Lord Jesus Christ, in "the third heaven," is a man, right now-the mediator has to be a man...
1 Timothy 2:5 KJV
For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;
Survey Hebrews 6:20 KJV. Hebrews 7:25 KJV.... The Lord Jesus Christ is a priest forever after the order of Melchizedek. In order to be a priest, the Lord Jesus Christ has to be a man; a spirit cannot be a priest after the order of Melchizedek,and if the Lord Jesus Christ is not a man now, He could not hold His priesthood, and He could not be forever interceding for the lost.
Colossians 2 KJV
9 For in him dwelleth all the fulness of the Godhead bodily.
Acts 17 KJV
31 because he hath appointed a day, in the which he will judge the world in righteousness by that man whom he hath ordained; whereof he hath given assurance unto all men, in that he hath raised him from the dead.
Read it....believe it...a future day...."that man."
