those he disagreed with, making them look quite foolish when he finished his
arguments.
Is that a compliment or a slam? OR are you saying he was a Baptist/Militant Fundamentalist?
Remember when Stephen saw heaven opened up, he saw the Father and the Son at the right hand of the Father, but he did not see a third person.
So when David described being under the feathers of His wing? Did Stephen SEE this or describe Jesus at God's right hand as in Power & Authority? If he was literally standing on God's right hand, then Jesus may have hurt his hand as he probably wieghed at least 150lbs.
When Jesus talked with the two on the road to Emmaeus, he vanished (became
invisible). This does not mean that he no longer had a body.
Not anymore than when he walked through a door. Not anymore then when he said early in the morning Touch me not for I have not ascended to the father. We later see him touched that morning because he left this planet traveled to heaven and back while the Jerusalem Grille was still serving breakfast! Who said he became invisible? Are you going to start inserting your philosophy into the scriptures?
Lu 24:16 But their eyes were holden that they should not know him.
Here we SEE that Jesus held their eyes from knowing his identity as the next verse testifies they thought him a stranger.
Lu 24:17-18 And he said unto them, What manner of communications are these that ye have one to another, as ye walk, and are sad? And the one of them, whose name was Cleopas, answering said unto him, Art thou only a stranger in Jerusalem, and hast not known the things which are come to pass there in these days?
I don't know about you but if a invisible man had a conversation we me I would have hightailed it outa there!

Plenty, but not a lot of time right now to lay it out for you.

With the exception of Tertullian, most church fathers did not accept the
idea of God having a body. However, there are problems with definitions in
regards to this. For example, Origen's argument was that any body would be
material substance, and since we know that material substance is
corruptible, God could not have a body because he is incorruptible. Well,
what about an incorruptible body? He never considered such an idea.
By the way, Tertullian was a guy kind of like you. He slashed and dashed
those he disagreed with, making them look quite foolish when he finished his
arguments. Since he was one who did argue that Father God has a body, you
might find it interesting to read him on this subject; howbeit, most of the
time is taken to argue that the soul itself is coporeal. :-)

I tend to think that the Holy Spirit inhabits the bodies of the Father and
the Son and the redeemed also; therefore, he does not have his own body.
The Holy Spirit's work is to make the Father and Son omniscient and to
connect the saints to the Father and the Son. Remember when Stephen saw
heaven opened up, he saw the Father and the Son at the right hand of the
Father, but he did not see a third person.

The term "invisible" does not mean non-existent, nor does it mean impossible
to be seen. It means that it is not discernible to the physical eye. When
Jesus talked with the two on the road to Emmaeus, he vanished (became
invisible). This does not mean that he no longer had a body.

True.
Peace be with you.
