If God is stable, why would a spirit acts like it can't find its bearing until it gets itself reunited of sort with a flesh? If God is stable he doesn't need it but the spirit is behaving like a separate entity from God, like a matured father and a curious son. It puzzles me the need of Jesus to take His body with him instead of leaving it rotten to the ground. Is it right then to assume that the reason God is stable because he is complete in its make-up(both the spirit and flesh) and the spirit is actually undergoing the process to achieve the same state as shown in the end by Jesus ressurection? Is it then but natural for the spirit to seek permanence on physical attachment to be both perfect and complete?

What the heck are you talking about? The question just makes no sense.
The resurrection makes perfect sense when you realize a physical body is necessary to reach the full extent of our potential. That is why Physical and Spirit death are bad. They keep us from reaching our potential and becoming like our Father.

confusing question...check it out, God sent jesus his son in the flesh to live as us and save us. When Jesus died he was resurectted in his body to prove that he overcame death..Death could not hold him because he was dying for you and me, in our place.. When jesus ascended ito heaven he gave us the gift of the holy spirit.
Moreover, later in his earthly ministry, Jesus promised that his Father would likewise give the Holy Spirit as a "good gift" to those who ask him, Luke 1:13, and that, at some point in the future, the Spirit, who now lived "with" his disciples, would come to dwell "in" them. John 14:17. When Jesus spoke these words, they were still a future promise: he had to "go away" and "be glorified" before this would happen. John 7:39, 16:7. Yet the disciples were told what they should expect the Spirit to do when he was given. He would be a Comforter, permitting the disciples to "see" Jesus even when he was no longer visibly on earth and to recognize that they were in Jesus and Jesus is in his Father. John 14:16-20. He would teach the disciples all things, guide them into all truth, remind them of Jesus' words and show them the future. John 14:26, 15:26, 16:13. He would glorify the Father by showing them Jesus' things — all things the Father has. John 16:14. And as a result of his work, streams of living water would flow out of their lives. John 7:37-39. The Spirit was sent to expand God's kingdom from the single person of Jesus to include multitudes.

The purposes of our physical bodies are for us to exist on the earth and to be the temple of the Holy Spirit. The purpose of God's physical body (Jesus) was to be like us. To come to the earth in human form to live a sinless life to show us His love for us by becoming God's sacrifice and dieing for us to take our place for our sin.
When we become reunited with God, it is spiritual. When we become reunited with God, we become His children. We were formed for the purpose of Him loving us and us loving Him.
Jesus' body became glorified. Just as those who go to Heaven will receive glorified bodies.
God is stable because He is complete and is not trying to achieve the same state as shown by Jesus' resurrection. He has already accomplished Jesus' resurrection from death. This is the goal of the Christian. We have been promised the same resurrection.
God has no need to seek anything to better Himself. He is perfect.
Our physical bodies are not permanent. Therefore, no. To be perfect and complete, acceptance of Jesus as our Lord and Savior is what is necessary. God provided (Himself) Jesus in the flesh for us not for himself.

a soul w/out flesh is a ghost. I'm assuming you're asking about Jesus's ressurction, which i believe shows not only impermeance of human flesh, but also of the sins and imperfection we embody as a human. As for God being perfect in flesh and spirit, i don't believe he has a flesh. Only humans, in it's perpetually learning, has flesh. god is perfect and there is nothing permanent in life except the soul (in my interpretation of the bible). Jesus keeps coming back to save us because he refuses to abandon us in our ongoing battle with sins, but as for the spirit seeking perfection in physical attachment, i believe it's impossible. Just be happy with who you are and let god take care of the rest.

God has no need of flesh to but yes man needs a body to hold in his soul. Your body is just a shell for your soul to live in the physical. God though doesn't live in the physical he lives in the spiritual. That's why God had to become a man to to live with us and die for us.

Your speaking on merely human terms. God is spirit. His knowledge and wisdom far surpasses that of our own. God's incarnation was simply out of pure love for His creation. Nothing else.

Jesus took his body back to heaven with him to prove to those that saw him that he is real. If only his spirit went to heaven and the spirit can not be seen, who would know? He didnt need it.

Jesus is not God. Jesus is God's son. 2 different people. Don't pay attention to mis informed people who say otherwise. That's why you are confused to begin with.
