A dispensationalist loves contrasting "Literal and Spiritual".... "things". Yet, they don't really understand what they're contrasting.

A Truth can be BOTH Spiritual and Literal. Which is most often the case with God's promises. They are based upon Spiritual Truth ( God is a Spirit )................ that manifest themselves in LITERAL things.

What has caused this confusion is sinful men trying to explain God. The Scriptures confuse them. Take for example. Jesus saying....

"Spirit has not flesh and bone".

Notice. Jesus did NOT say "Spirit is no Literal". Spirit just doesn't come forth from FLESH AND BONE.

It really is very simple. However, sinful men can only deal with fleshly things. Thus, his answer is "FLESH".

There are many physical manifestation that have nothing to do with the flesh.
