I am sure there is an easy answer but I could use some help here.
Last week as my family reviewed Shorter Catechism Q. 4. What is God, which answers in part, God is a Spirit, etc.; one of my sons asked if that answer fell short of the whole story since God the Son now and ever shall be God and man, and not a pure simple Spirit?
Consider the answer to Q. 21. Who is the Redeemer of God’s elect? Answer: ...the Lord Jesus Christ, who, being the eternal Son of God, became man, and so was, and continueth to be, God and man in two distinct natures, and one person, forever.
I wasn't sure how to answer.
