God is a Spirit and cannot be seen.. unless He wants to be seen, which was the case many times. God can manifest Himself in ways men can see Him and grasp Him a little easier. God incarnating as man had many reasons, mainly to pay the final sacrifice for sin so we can all get to Heaven, even though we all still sin. Another reason is so He could live the way we do, be tempted in ways we are and go through hardships like we do so that we can really know that God knows what this feels like. Otherwise we could justly complain that God has no idea how hard life can be.

Because He had to if He wanted to bring salvation to sinful humans under the system of the world he had created before sin existed. God is a Spirit, but he has a Son in human form who came to earth

Phillipians 2:5 Your attitude should be the same as that of Christ Jesus:
6 Who, being in very nature God, did not consider equality with God something to be grasped,
7 but made himself of no reputation, taking the very nature of a servant, being made in human likeness.
8 And being found in appearance as a man, he humbled himself and became obedient to death-- even death on a cross!
9 Therefore God exalted him to the highest place and gave him the name that is above every name,
10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
11 and every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

Why would you even ask a question like this??? Not all people are evil spirited like that! He would want to because even tho there is so much evil in the world, there is also a lot of love, beauty and kindness to experiance...

God did not change into a human as the false teachers teach..
There are two parts and birthdays for Jesus.
1. Jesus son of David/ son of Mary earthly.
2. Jesus Son of God/ His word made flesh.
We accept Jesus in the flesh as son of David as Lord of your life for salvation.
We also live in the spirit world after conversion to Jesus..
to serve Gods word made flesh..
We seve spirit words here on earth, that we cannot see or touch..
We give energy to them to make them real on earth.
as good of otheres you cannot touch or feel the word good only once you give energy to it..
Spirit words to worship and serve God
Good of otheres and things,, truth for good, and righteousness to others..
And the above is a life time study
HEBREWS 5
14 But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have
their senses exercised to DISCERN BOTH good and evil.
Give energy to the spirit of God

first of all god has a body in genesis he says let us go down and make man in our own image if he was spirit and made us in his own image that means we are spirit too Secondly God did not come down to earth and do this thing he sent his only begotten son who was strong enough to take this upon him to carry it through i could not have done halve the stuff he did and would have shuddered at the thought of knowing i would have to do this, would you have shuddered?,, i don't know why it had to be done but it had to so that he could come back to prove to us there is a Resurrection to which we are all entitled to if he Jesus Christ died in bed like 100000s do,, would we of heard of his death i doubt it ,,but im glad that someone took this upopn himselve so that we all do not have to go through this yet some of us go through our own litle hells on earth now

god turned into jesus so he could be mocked and tortured and all that bad stuff so he could save us from going to hell.
God is god he can do whatever he wants so if he wants to turn into a human form he can and nobody knows if hes a spirit or not i mean nobody has seen him either unless theyre dead.

Because that was the only way to lift sinners out of the pit of sin and death. They couldn't do it for themselves. So, out of love, the Son of God emptied himself of his heavenly glory and became incarnated in the person of Jesus Christ. "Hands that flung stars into space, to cruel nails surrendered... " (Graham Kendrick "The Servant King").

Did God come to earth or did he send someone else? What does the Bible say? John 3:17 CLEARLY says: "For God sent forth his Son into the world, not for him to judge the world, but for the world to be saved through him." So who came to earth? Was it God himself or did he send someone else? The Bible says God sent his Son.
