Then we will have to agree to disagree. One of the important distinctions in Mormon belief over other Christian faiths is the revelation that God the Father has a tangible body as does His Son, Jesus Christ. It is also clear that God is distinct from His Son, as manifested at Jesus’ baptism and again in Joseph Smith’s First Vision. If we are created in God’s image then why would he not have a body?

Do you accept that Jesus is the God of the Old Testament? The I am? It is this same Jesus that formed the earth, under His Father’s direction.

God is omniscient and omnipotent, I cannot deny. Further, His influence is carried through the Holy Spirit. This “dimensionally manifesting at differing levels of complexity” only serves to confuse the true nature of God. If He is omniscient and omnipotent, having a body will not diminish these abilities in the least, nor require dimensional manifestations at different levels of complexity.

The LDS faithful also know it is necessary to be born again of the spirit. A very significant speech was given by King Benjamin in the book of Mosiah. Being born again is the renewal or rebirth of the spirit. I know not of the resurrection of the spirit. The only resurrection I know of is that given to all the children of God, which is the reunion of the spirit with the mortal tabernacle, turning corruptible into incorruptible. The resurrection as has been pointed out will be either to the resurrection of the damned or the resurrection of the saved, but all are resurrected.

It is apparent the contradictory nature of those two sentences has escape your attention. The Children of God will not be resurrected to damnation, but there will be so many who will be resurrected to damnation. You see, the Children of God have God's spirit in them, the damned do not. That Spirit comes by hearing and hearing by the Word of God. A saved person living around you is already alive eternally because eternal LIFE dwells in their human spirit as The Holy Spirit of God by His promise. It is God in you both to will and to do of His good please, not you doing 'all that you can do' to earn His Grace. A fool in an earlier post seeking gamesmanship rather than the mind of God (as spoken by His Word) asked why believers in Salvation by Faith alone would behave themselves and not just do anything their flesh lusts for. I trust you understand why a faither in Jesus Christ does not 'just do anything the flesh lusts for.'

And we know that the Bible indicates just the opposite.

It goes so far as to say NO ONE has 'seen' the Father.
