Since God is never d scribed as having a physical body that is a silly question. Physicality is not about attributes

In the Old Testiment God has many attributes including being compared to a mother hen sheltering her chicks from a storm.

People who think of God in a physical form diminishHim

Jesus had to become physical.....

“Since God is never d scribed as having a physical body that is a silly question.”

That kind of thinking has always puzzled me. I once read an explanation by a religious leader who took pains to explain that when God said “Let us make man in our image” that certainly did not mean that God made man in His image, because he, God, does not have a body.

God, himself, evidently believes he has a body, because He told Moses that if he, or any person, looked upon Him, he would die.

Jesus told his disciples that when they saw him, they saw the Father. Then there is the transfiguration.

Angels don’t have physical bodies, but they are described as having bodies. The angel Gabriel is described in detail in the book of Daniel, golden skin tone, expensive clothes, golden belt around his waist, etc. He would have made it big in Hollywood.
