Quote (t8 @ Sep. 16 2009,10:15)God is a Spirit. That is what he is.It is written, “The LORD is the Spirit”.Spirit is not like a body. Spirit can be in all, a body cannot.Jesus on the other hand, is the image of the invisible God, and the firstborn of/over all creation.t8 -Which Lord/LORD is the verse talking about? is it YHWH? In some versions of…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Sep. 15 2009,18:49)Hi DT, ooops.Jesus now has a new body and so will his brothers when he returnsWe will be sexless and alike to the angels. So does God have such a body??Jesus has a glorified body, I'm sure we can all agree that is scripturally correct.God also must have a similar body, in order to have a Son in the same…[Read more]

Who is HT? I'm new here so I don't know everyone's nicknames yet.

I hope that I have not upset anyone in the way I've posted, my intention is not that.But back to the topic, I was thinking what is the underlying concern of believing if God has a body or not? I figured that the main issue is how can God be omnipresent and all-powerful if He is confined to a body.However, it is clear that God does not have a human…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Sep. 15 2009,07:16)Hi and welcome DT, Do you think God is as small as a man?Thanks for the welcome. No, I do not think God is as small as a man. I don't think you do either.Again, let me clarify that we are not talking about a body that is like ours. We are talking about a body that ours is like. God does not have a human…[Read more]

So far, you have quoted a scripture that says God has feathers. If those are literal feathers, then God has a body. But we both agree it is a metaphor. That does not disprove that God has a body.Then you quoted scripture that no one can see God. Yes, no one can see face to face God and live to tell about it. Again, this does not disprove God has a…[Read more]

Yes, he has feathers. They're invisible though.

oops I meant mormon. I'm not mormon.

God has a body. I'm not a muslim, btw. We are made in the image of God, therefore we reflect who God is. Well we should, anyway.Since we have bodies and are images of God, it would follow that God has a body. It seems odd that God would not have a body and yet we are his image and have bodies.In Exodus 24 the elders and Moses saw God. They saw His…[Read more]

Quote (Nick Hassan @ Sep. 11 2009,06:52)Hi WJ, Still confused? The Lord is the Spirit.wait a minute, Jesus is not the Spirit. It says Spirit OF Christ. Even if you're a trinitarian, based on that triangular diagram, God the Father is not the Son is not the Spirit.

I also challenge the rapture. Here where I'm at I saw a sticker that said “After the rapture, can I have your car?”It's in response to “In case of rapture, this car will be unmanned.”The irony is that a Christian could legitimately sport the “After the rapture, can I have your car?” sticker on his/her car.
