Explaining how God or Jesus was justified in the Spirit could change the whole meaning of that verse and possibly even make it no longer suitable for a prooftext that Jesus is God. The thing is, until we understand that whole verse then we cannot say how its meaning might change when we fully understand it.

I did offer what this means "justified in the Spirit", by pointing out first of all it means "declared righteous". I then pointed out it was by His works.

Second you've offered no logical reason why if we don't understand for sure what "justified in the Spirit" means we can't understand the rest, despite actually understanding it and explaining it
