Behold!!! I have gotten the NUMBER!!! In all in the KJV there are 12 instances where God the Father introduces Jesus with "In whom I am well pleased" And 7 where he introduces him as "My beloved son" and that's just in the New Testament. please not that "Atonement" appears only once n the bible, but that doesn't diminish it's importance.

And in NONE of them does the 'Father' have a BODY.

You said: Behold!!! I have gotten the NUMBER!!!

The mark of the beastly poster is indeed your number.

I said: In all in the KJV there are 12 instances where God the Father introduces Jesus with "In whom I am well pleased" And 7 where he introduces him as "My beloved son" and that's just in the New Testament. please not that "Atonement" appears only once n the bible, but that doesn't diminish it's importance.

You said: And in NONE of them does the 'Father' have a BODY.

The Bible is full of references to God having a body, starting in the Old Testament:
26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
So, God Exedous 33:11,20-23
11 And the LORD spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend. And he turned again into the camp: but his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, departed not out of the tabernacle.
...
20 And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live.
21 And the LORD said, Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon a rock:
22 And it shall come to pass, while my glory passeth by, that I will put thee in a clift of the rock, and will cover thee with my hand while I pass by:
23 And I will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my back parts: but my face shall not be seen.
God: Deuteronomy 4:27-30
27 And the LORD shall scatter you among the nations, and ye shall be left few in number among the heathen, whither the LORD shall lead you. 28 And there ye shall serve gods, the work of men’s hands, wood and stone, which neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell. 29 But if from thence thou shalt seek the LORD thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul. 30 When thou art in tribulation, and all these things are come upon thee, even in the latter days, if thou turn to the LORD thy God, and shalt be obedient unto his voice;
So, since Moses was drawing a picture of the things that would be "Wrong" with the false Gods, we can know that God: Now, lets move to the New Testament... Luke 24:39
39 Behold my hands and my feet, that it is I myself: handle me, and see; for a spirit hath not flesh and bones, as ye see me have.
Handle me, Flesh and Bones, no blood, well what did Jesus do with his body if he currently does not have one, remember, you must use scripture, for that is what you insist of of me.

Acts 7:55-56
55 But he, being full of the Holy Ghost, looked up stedfastly into heaven, and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing on the right hand of God,
56 And said, Behold, I see the heavens opened, and the Son of man standing on the right hand of God.
Stephen saw Jesus standing on the right hand which you only have if you have hands.

Hebrews 1:3
3 Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;
How can you be in the "Express Image" of something that has no image and is form less?

Let's see how Joseph describes the body of Jesus...
D&C 130:22
22 The Father has a body of flesh and bones as tangible as man’s; the Son also; but the Holy Ghost has not a body of flesh and bones, but is a personage of Spirit. Were it not so, the Holy Ghost could not dwell in us.
Hmm, Sounds very similar to the way Jesus describes his own body tot he disciples.

Face it Elsie, the scriptures support God having a Body, even if they also interpretations for other definitions, saying God and Jesus both have bodies of "Flesh and Bone" is biblical.

I know how much this hurts, so I have to ask, have you prayed about it yet?
