I had stated that you deny that spirits are immaterial, and you replied:
Let's be a little more specific. Do you deny that ALL spirits are immaterial, or do you say that SOME spirits are not immaterial, while OTHER spirits are immaterial?
So, again, would you say that ALL spirits are material, or would you say that only SOME spirits are material, while other spirits are immaterial?
Would you say Jesus' spirit is material? Yes or No?
Would you say God the Father's spirit is material? Yes or No?
Here, you are asserting three propositions:
1. "The holy spirit is...God's thinking"
2. "The holy spirit is...God's...mind"
3. "The holy spirit is...the power produced by God's mind"
So, please furnish the passage(s) of Scripture, respectively, wherein you imagine you learned each of these three things.
Notice, also, the absurdity of your third proposition, there: "The holy spirit is...the power produced by God's mind". You had just, in the previous (your second) proposition, stated that "The holy spirit is...God's...mind"; so, if that is the case then observe what happens when we interchange the phrase "the holy spirit" with the phrase "God's mind":
So, by your asinine claims, you've given us an infinite regress:
Top notch, Dartman!
You say, here, that the believer will "acquire Christ's spirit". Is Christ's spirit material? Are you saying that the believer, in "acquiring Christ's spirit", is acquiring a material thing? Can you describe this acquisition?
Also, you said "So, yes they think the same." In this, I assume that, by "they", you mean God the Father and Jesus--so that you mean "So, yes [God the Father and Jesus] think the same." The question is, God the Father and Jesus think the same WHAT? And, of whatever it is to which you refer by your phrase "the same", would you say that it is a material thing? And, to the nearest lb., about how much would you say it weighs?
Correct.
Let's be a little more specific. Do you deny that ALL spirits are immaterial, or do you say that SOME spirits are not immaterial, while OTHER spirits are immaterial?
You are confused again. What I stated is;
.. there are SEVERAL definitions for "spirit". It depends on the context. Most of the times, in Scripture "spirit" is discussing thinking, attitude. Some times "spirit" means breath. Some times spirit means a being with a message, a messenger.
So, again, would you say that ALL spirits are material, or would you say that only SOME spirits are material, while other spirits are immaterial?
Jesus' spirit is conformed to his God's spirit.
Would you say Jesus' spirit is material? Yes or No?
Would you say God the Father's spirit is material? Yes or No?
The holy spirit is God's spirit. God's thinking/mind and the power produced by God's mind.
Here, you are asserting three propositions:
1. "The holy spirit is...God's thinking"
2. "The holy spirit is...God's...mind"
3. "The holy spirit is...the power produced by God's mind"

Top notch, Dartman!
So, yes they think the same. The believer then must "learn" what Christ taught, in order to acquire Christ's spirit, which has been perfectly conformed to his God's spirit.
You say, here, that the believer will "acquire Christ's spirit". Is Christ's spirit material? Are you saying that the believer, in "acquiring Christ's spirit", is acquiring a material thing? Can you describe this acquisition?
Also, you said "So, yes they think the same." In this, I assume that, by "they", you mean God the Father and Jesus--so that you mean "So, yes [God the Father and Jesus] think the same."
