The Father is an all-spirit being. We are human beings. The Son, the Christ, came in the flesh as a human being, like us. He was very similar in many ways of his behaviour to the Father. He was also very spiritual, having power in his sprit greater than most humans experience in their life times, but not altogether unusual because humans are spiritual beings despite having human flesh as the house of this spirit inner being. Following Jesus leads to awakening of this spirit empowered by the Holy Spirit as Jesus was. Once raised from the dead, Jesus became all the more powerful and alive in spirit, yet still with a body now made immortal. In this respect he is now all the more like the Father, God. Yet God the Father is not human as Jesus is human. Once Jesus raises his disciples to immortality they will be like Jesus is now. A lot of this truth is obscured by most traditional teachings found in Christianity. Truth from Jesus sets his believing disciples free from the slavery of their sins. Leaving his teachings, even if doing so is to align with traditional teachings of church councils, means running ahead and losing fellowship with Jesus and forfeiting discipleship of Jesus and of the Father. Learning by faith in Jesus the teachings of Jesus, staying in them, leads to living fruitful lives in him, and eternal life in him, in fellowship with him and his Father.
