2 Chronicles 16:9 "For the eyes of the LORD move to and fro throughout the earth that He may strongly support those whose heart is completely His.

Deuteronomy 26: ...and the LORD brought us out of Egypt with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm and with great terror and with signs and wonders;

Exodus 24:9-10 Then Moses went up with Aaron, Nadab and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel, and they saw the God of Israel; and under His feet there appeared to be a pavement of sapphire, as clear as the sky itself.

Exodus 33:18-23 Then Moses said, "I pray You, show me Your glory!" And He said, "I Myself will make all My goodness pass before you, and will proclaim the name of the LORD before you; and I will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will show compassion on whom I will show compassion." But He said, "You cannot see My face, for no man can see Me and live!" Then the LORD said, "Behold, there is a place by Me, and you shall stand there on the rock; and it will come about, while My glory is passing by, that I will put you in the cleft of the rock and cover you with My hand until I have passed by. "Then I will take My hand away and you shall see My back, but My face shall not be seen."

2 Samuel 22:7 "In my distress I called upon the LORD, Yes, I cried to my God; And from His temple He heard my voice, And my cry for help came into His ears.

Sounds an awful lot like a body to me. Scripture is full of references to parts of God's body. Why shouldn't we have been created in God's image physically as well as spiritually, mentally, and emotionally?

Wow, so God has eyes, nose, kidneys, an anus, all that?

I think my post #146 explains better what I was talking about. The point is we did not randomly evolve into what we are via random mutation and natural selection. We were made as He wanted us to be and He appeared to us in a similar form.

Obviously anyone who could invent the universe and all life can do just about anything He wants (re Jesus), but his natural state is not flesh and blood like we are.

In any case, we were certainly blessed in the form He gave us since it is kind of hard to imagine a dinosaur or elephant building a space shuttle, no matter how much intelligence they were endowed with, or any other known species for that matter. Our bodies allows us to do all sorts of amazing things. And, of course, women are God's most beautiful creation.
