Man has a physical resemblence to God. God came first. Man came second. God created man in His image in more ways that just physical. And since in Scripture, God clearly makes reference to some parts of His body, there is no reason to think that it is not real and true. He walked by Moses in Exodus chapter 33. In Revelation He sits on His throne. You can't do that without a body.

You're starting from some faulty premises; one is that the physical is the only way in which man resembles God, that it's God who resembles man and not vice versa, and that that God does not have a form that we were patterened after.

Ignoring the other ways in which man resembles God leads to faulty conclusions because the premise is incorrect. When God said He made man in His image, HE didn't specify in which area, so to focus on something that doesn't have any support and try to build an argument on it, doesn't work.

SIGH.

metmom, did you not respond thus to my question?

VG>> Let me ask you this: isn't is possible that the body parts are allegorical?

metmom> Yeah, it's possible.

If you said the above, then you cannot definitively say "Man has a physical resemblence to God."

If you refuse to follow the simplest rules of logic, there is absolutely no point in my debating you.

And starting in Exodus 3:2 He talked to Moses in the form of a burning bush that didn't char.
