Notice that Jesus said God is Spirit, but do you believe that?
Remember you told me we Muslims cherry pick, who is doing that now? Now you totally ignored everything I have written, and you picked just one thing, the word spirit is there he must be talking about the holy spirit.
Lets be honest you Christians say that we take things out of context, I am sure some do but the majority pick a verse couldn’t have another meaning, for example “I can of mine own self do nothing: as I hear, I judge: and my judgment is just; because I seek not mine own will, but the will of the Father which hath sent me.” John 5:30 now that is clear, does it matter what was behind it and what after it?
Can you say I can’t do anything by myself, then in the next verse say but I do?? If the two verse contradicts each other then there is something wrong, and it will not make sense. This is example of how it is not chery picking but rather clear cut evidence.
So if I see the word spirit, and conclude what it means that is not acceptable.
Now lets look at the full context of the verse
19 The woman saith unto him, Sir, I perceive that thou art a prophet.
20 Our fathers worshipped in this mountain; and ye say, that in Jerusalem is the place where men ought to worship.
21 Jesus saith unto her, Woman, believe me, the hour cometh, when ye shall neither in this mountain, nor yet at Jerusalem, worship the Father.
22 Ye worship ye know not what: we know what we worship: for salvation is of the Jews.
23 But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him.
24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
Do you think the context here talks about the holy spirit or trinity?? when the perfect chance came to Jesus to explain the trinity, and he didn't use it, when he was asked how to attain eternal life, did Jesus explained the trinity to the man? That was perfect opportunity to explain instead what did Jesus say?
“And he said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God: but if thou wilt enter into life, keep the commandments.” Matthew 19:16
He told him to keep the commandments because he was a messenger came to fulfil the message.
“Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil.”
but you do not believe Jesus is He
You mean the Messiah ? as Jesus told her he was in the following verses?
25 The woman saith unto him, I know that Messias cometh, which is called Christ: when he is come, he will tell us all things.26 Jesus saith unto her, I that speak unto thee am he
of course we do, we Muslims believe Jesus peace upon him is the Messiah, that will come near the end of times to kill the anti-Christ,.
