Also ....who said God the Father doesn’t have a body? ....certainly not the Bible:
- God created man in his own image, Gen. 1:27 (Moses 2:27).
- God created man, in the likeness of God made he him, Gen. 5:1.
- in the image of God made he man, Gen. 9:6.
- Lord went his way, as soon as he had left communing, Gen. 18:33.
- I have seen God face to face, Gen. 32:30.
- they saw the God of Israel: and there was under his feet, Ex. 24:10.
- written with the finger of God, Ex. 31:18 (Deut. 9:10).
- Lord spake unto Moses face to face, Ex. 33:11.
- thou shalt see my back parts: but my face shall not be seen, Ex. 33:23.
- With him will I speak mouth to mouth, Num. 12:8.
- a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, Matt. 3:17.
- every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God, Matt. 4:4.
- a voice out of the cloud, Matt. 17:5.
- for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have, Luke 24:39.
- the Son of man standing on the right hand of God, Acts 7:56.
- predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, Rom. 8:29.
- Christ, who is the image of God, 2 Cor. 4:4.
- Who, being in the form of God, Philip. 2:6.
- our vile body … fashioned like unto his glorious body, Philip. 3:21.
- Who is the image of the invisible God, Col. 1:15.
- the express image of his person, Heb. 1:3.
- men, which are made after the similitude of God, James 3:9.
- when he shall appear, we shall be like him, 1 Jn. 3:2.
- they shall see his face, Rev. 22:4.
see also Gen. 33:10; Deut. 4:28; Acts 17:29; Col. 3:10.
Indeed, who said that? But who said God has a body of flesh and blood by nature? The demons of LDS.
I have seen God face to face, Gen. 32:30. - they saw the God of Israel: and there was under his feet, Ex. 24:10. - written with the finger of God, Ex. 31:18 (Deut. 9:10). - Lord spake unto Moses face to face, Ex. 33:11.
I see, you want to make anthropomorphic language to be literal in order to prove God has a human body, and is not sprit by nature. OK, let us be consistent:
He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler. (Psalms 91:4)
"Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings," (Psa 17:8) "...the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings." (Psa 36:7) "...yea, in the shadow of thy wings will I make my refuge" (Psa 57:1) "...I will trust in the covert of thy wings. Selah." (Psa 61:4)
Therefore (in accordance e with your judgment) God can be an exalted bird, which would blasphemous as is your married corporeal-bodied god calling himself that of the Bible. And making Christ (the "arm" of the Lord) a married brother of Lucifer. Give it up.
- Who is the image of the invisible God, Col. 1:15.
You posted that...God (the Father) is invisible...
Joh_4:24 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.
Luk_24:39 Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.
God the Father is a spirit and all spirits are invisible...
- predestinate to be conformed to the image of his Son, Rom. 8:29.
That is why we are conformed to the image of the Son and not the Father...
- I have seen God face to face, Gen. 32:30.
- they saw the God of Israel: and there was under his feet, Ex. 24:10.
And how is that possible if God (the Father) is invisible??? It ought to be obvious...
They were seeing the physical body of Jesus the Son, the physical manifestation of the Trinity...
Unlike any other creature on the Earth, man speaks and in referring to our selves, we use the personal pronoun “I” in the expression of the “self” in relation or in opposition to other “SELVES”.
Christ is the expression of I AM(!) THAT I AM(!) in flesh and we were made in similar fashion...but the truth of how we are in God’s image lies not only in the physical but our internal being. What happens when some one asks us...””What is your name?” We reply if asked singularly..”I AM”. Our own self awareness and our own self consciousness and the possession of, indeed BEING a soul, are the essence that makes “Us”...”US’!(NOT JUST THE FINGERS AND TOES)
Yet those “personal” properties are yet pale reflections of the reality of HE who is “I AM(!)THAT I AM(!)” It is our inner beings that were 100 percent were made in God’s image and likeness. I am a small(i am). Yet before Abraham was, Christ “says” I AM(!) ( my choice of tenses here are chosen very deliberately )
