> 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?

Just as much as when Jesus referred to the Pharisees' yeast meant he was talking about bread. (Mark 8:14-21)

I ask you again. If we are created in God's image physically, does he have nose hair? teeth? buttocks? a penis? an anus?

Why ask me? Ask Him yourself.

He refers to Himself having different body parts in Scripture but doesn't give us a complete rundown of each and every one. I personally don't care about it in all it's fine detail and I don't see why it should matter.

Clearly when Jesus was talking to the Pharisees and referred to Himself as the *bread of life*, He meant that allegorically, as He was physically standing in their very presence but just because some parts are allegorical, doesn't mean that all are to be taken that way all the time.
