Bible Question:
well i'm at a loss for words. no one likes practical christianity. so here we go. let's stir up a hornets nest. Does God have a spiritual body? |
Bible Answer: Hello again In the Andes! I so enjoy your posts. They reveal a sincerity of heart in wanting to know truth even if the truth should go against what you presently believe. Have you ever pondered I Cor. 15:35-44? It speaks of various types of "bodies" and "flesh". We finite, 3-dimensional humans cannot possibly fathom, much less understand, our infinite God. But this biblical passage does say there is a natural body and there IS a spiritual body. I have heard so many popular t.v. evangelists/teachers using Biblical passages in an attempt to "prove" God has a body like man, even to the point of "proving" God is about 6 feet tall! What a damnable heresy! But what is even worse is true born-again believers are being taken in by these heretical teachings AND paying money to listen to it! From the beginning man has been trying to deify himself (make himself "god") and trying to humanize God. We will NEVER be able to understand God's ways or the things that pertain to Him OR EXPLAIN them. He says just that in Isa. 55:8-9. So, in my humble opinion, and based on I Cor. 15, I would conclude (at this point in time) God does have a spiritual body, as do angels. What a spiritual body is, I have no idea. But the Bible clearly states there is such. Have a blessed day, Mrs B in Georgia |
