So what. Tuna fish isn't there either, but we know tuna fish exists.
When Jesus declares that He is God, as He does in John 8, we must either believe Him or reject Him. You reject Him. I believe Him.
The Jews attempted to kill Him because He declared He was God. It's right there.
How's that crutch holding up for you?

Please deal with the text;
John 14:21 He that hath my commandments, and keepeth them, he it is that loveth me: and he that loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love him, and will manifest myself to him
Of course not. As I have pointed out many times, there are SEVERAL definitions for "spirit". It depends on the context. Most of the times, in Scripture "spirit" is discussing thinking, attitude. Some times "spirit" means breath. Some times spirit means a being with a message, a messenger.

Nope, I'm using it in the broader Biblical sense.
Leviticus 26:45 But I will for their sakes remember the covenant of their ancestors, whom I brought forth out of the land of Egypt in the sight of the heathen, that I might be their God: I am the Lord.
2 Chronicles 20:6 And said, O Lord God of our fathers, art not thou God in heaven? and rulest not thou over all the kingdoms of the heathen? and in thine hand is there not power and might, so that none is able to withstand thee?
Galatians 2:9 And when James, Cephas, and John, who seemed to be pillars, perceived the grace that was given unto me, they gave to me and Barnabas the right hands of fellowship; that we should go unto the heathen, and they unto the circumcision.
Galatians 3:8 And the scripture, foreseeing that God would justify the heathen through faith, preached before the gospel unto Abraham, saying, In thee shall all nations be blessed.

So stop using the wrong definition every time I speak of God's Spirit and Jesus'.
Now since you admit that spirits are more than just thoughts, tell me how the Father's Spirit and Jesus' Spirit live in the saved if they are not both God.
Don't forget, we are only given one Spirit when we are saved, but we have the Father and Jesus when we receive the Holy Spirit.
Oh how I love the Word of God!
Do not just read the word do it.

Simple, He was speaking to the Jews...to whom the commandments were given.
It's paramount, when reading the Bible to understand what is being said, and to whom.
Matthew 15:24 But he answered and said, I am not sent but unto the lost sheep of the house of Israel.
HE IS RISEN....things are different.
Now that He has risen from the dead, we no longer know him according to the flesh.
2 Corinthians 5:16 Wherefore henceforth know we no man after the flesh: yea, though we have known Christ after the flesh, yet now henceforth know we him no more.
Those commandments that you cling to were merely the schoolmaster that would bring us to Christ in order for us to be justified by FAITH....not commandment keeping.
Galatians 3:24 Wherefore the law was our schoolmaster to bring us unto Christ, that we might be justified by faith.
Galatians 3:25 But after that faith is come, we are no longer under a schoolmaster.
