Does the Christian god have a body?

If the trinity is true, than the body of God looks much like his greatest creation...

God is not a mortal being as us, he is a spirit and he is immortal

he doesn't have to be a spirit to be immortal, he can be flesh and bone, and no blood.

As I said the proof is all around us. It is in the intelligent design of everything around us. Open your eyes and you'll see the fingerprints of God all around us and in us Our very existence proves the existence of a creator.

Further more the design of the Bible is a miracle. Written over 1500 years by different writers, yet every book in the Bible is consistent in its message. These books include prophesy, history, poetry, and theology. Despite their complexity, differences in writing styles and vast time periods, the books in the Bible are still miraculously well in theme, facts and cross referencing.

by Artaxerxes Longimanus. Exactly 173,880 days later 32 AD, Jesus rode into Jerusalem on a donkey (Fulfilling the prophesy in Zechariah 9:9. Four days later Jesus was crucified, the form of his death and even His last words were foretold in Psalm 22. As Jury said You must be blind not to see the evidence around you!!!

Not not exactly, God clearly says He is not like a human, doesn't think like a human, and doesn't look like a human.

and this so called god says that where, too whom and substantial proof of it

Brief timeline of Jesus of important years from empirical sources.
6 BC/BCE: Suggested birth (earliest).
4 BC/BCE: Herod' s death.
AD 6/6 CE: Suggested birth (latest).
26/27: Pilate appointed Judea governor.
27: Suggested death (earliest).
36: Suggested death (latest).
36/37: Pilate removed from office.

just trough faith not trough facts

again, just to the faithful and believers of its tales

just that they really dont know when this jesus dude was born though, out of the stories of jesus birth it sure couldnt be around december and they aint sure about the year so that exactly 173,880 days later 32 ad aint all that exact at all.
Excavation on the Greek island of Crete unfolded various societies with their mythological beliefs, just because mythological beliefs have been written down doesnt make them true, just like the dead sea scrolls just make the bible more true. Its just an archaeological find that document the tales of the book and describing life in and around that area trough that period of time, and it seems that they just slip out the things they want you to know about the scrolls. And you can ask yourself what is it with the 4th cave scrolls why there has been a lack of access to the scrolls found there

You are so blinded by your own opinion that you will never see the evidence not even if it hits you in the face. You will never acknowledge it either because then you might have to admit that you were wrong and misled. And that goes to all who still are trying to deny God and Jesus' existence.

My information comes from historical and archaelogical studies and calculations and not from people trying desperately to discredit the Bible. There are many other archaeological finds and excavations that prove many aspects of the peolple mentioned in the Bible.

Chronologists are people desperately trying to discredit the bible? Jesus year of birth wouldn' t have been problematic if the Gospels didn' t offer two accounts that are incompatible. Not to mention the exact date which is even more problematic. Calculation of Jesus' date of death is complicated by apparent inconsistencies in the reports in the Synoptic Gospels as compared to the Gospel of John.

Up to know:
Confirmed Biblical structures
[list][*]Gibeon pool (at el-Jib)
[*] Hezekiah's tunnel under Jerusalem
[*] Jericho's walls
Critics claim they fell due to an earthquake and do not date to the time of Joshua's conquest; nonetheless, it is a remarkable coincidence that they exist at all considering that the site was stratified and unoccupied during the late period when the critics say the book of Joshua was written.
[*] Lachish siege ramp of Sennacherib
[*] Siloam pool (just unearthed in 2004)
[*] Second Temple (confirmed by Western/Wailing wall constructed by Herod)
[*] 19 tumuli located west of Jerusalem, undoubtedly dating to the Judean monarchy, but possibly representing sites of memorial ceremonies for the kings as mentioned in 2 Chronicles 16:14, 21:19, 32:33, and the book of Jeremiah 34:5[/list]

Artifacts with unknown, disputed, or disproved provenance

Items in this list mostly come from private collections via the antiquities market, but also from chance finds prior to the establishment of antiquities laws. Their authenticity is highly controversial and in some cases has been demonstrated to be fraudulent.
[list][*] Ark of the Covenant
- The Ethiopian Orthodox Church in Axum, Ethiopia claims to possess it; local tradition maintains that it was brought to Ethiopia by Menelik I following a visit to his father King Solomon.

[*] Ebla (Tell Mardikh) cuneiform archives
- They reportedly contain references to the same five cities mentioned in the book of Genesis: Sodom, Gomorrah, Admah, Zeboim, and Bela/Zoar in the same order as in Genesis 14. Also reported are references to people with Semitic names and gods similar to those in the Bible. They include a king of Ebla named Ebrum, who some identify as the Biblical patriarch Eber (or Heber), after whom the Hebrews were named. The government of Syria continues to withhold complete publication of the texts, and this story remains a rumor.
[*] Artifacts originating from the antiquities dealer, Oded Golan. In December 2004 he was indicted by the Israeli police, together with several accomplices, for forging the following artifacts:
- The James Ossuary inscribed James, son of Joseph, brother of Jesus suspected of being forged on a genuine ancient ossuary.
- The Joash (Jehoash) tablet recording repairs to the Temple in Jerusalem suspected of being forged on a genuine ancient stone panel.
- Various ostraca mentioning the Temple or place names from the Bible.
- A seven-nozzle stone lamp, bearing decorations of a Temple menorah and the seven species
- A stone seal with gold rim, attributed to King Manasseh of Judah.
- A quartz bowl bearing an inscription in ancient Egyptian, indicating that the Minister of the Army of King Shishek conquered the ancient city of Meggido.
- An ivory pomegranate inscribed Property of the priests of the temple… forged on a genuine ancient piece of ivory.
- A pottery jug bearing an inscription claiming that it was given as a contribution to the Temple.
- Numerous bullae including ones which mention Biblical figures including King Hezekiah of Judah, the scribe Baruch and the prophet Isaiah.
[*] Nazareth Inscription
- Marble tablet with "Edict of Caesar" proscribing capital punishment for tomb-breakers, datable to the first century A.D., and allegedly acquired by the Frohner Collection in 1878 from Nazareth.
[*] The remains of Noah's Ark have been allegedly located by a number of archaeological groups and individuals. Most academics discount their findings as pseudoarchaeology.
- Archaeologist Ron Wyatt claimed to have possibly located the Ark's final resting place. Since his death he has been acclaimed by many Bible believers. A plethora of internet sites concerning him have come into existence, and some have fabricated information about him and his discoveries.
- An Italian archaeological group named La Narkas is the most recent of numerous groups claiming to have pinpointed the location of Noah's Ark close to the top of Mount Ararat, which straddles the border of Turkey and Armenia.
- In 2004, yet another expedition went to Mount Ararat in Turkey to try to locate the Ark. Samples from Turkey tested by Geological and Nuclear Sciences, a New Zealand government research institute, were found to be volcanic rock rather than petrified wood.
[*] Shroud of Turin
Critics claim it contains a painted image of Jesus forged in the Middle Ages; others maintain the image was formed by some heat process that darkened the fibers (such as a flash of light the instant the resurrection occurred). Radiocarbon dating seemed to limit its origin to the Middle Ages, but some analysts suggest the tests were erroneously performed using samples taken from patches sewn onto the ancient cloth during the Middle Ages, or contaminated from fires it was exposed to. If forged, it would be the most realistically accurate painting produced during the Middle Ages. If genuine, it is the most incredible artifact imaginable.
[*] Stone of Scone, also known as Jacob's Pillar
For centuries, this rock has been an integral compenent of coronation ceremonies for kings in the British isles. It is believed to be the rock upon which Jacob (later renamed Israel) received a vision, and a crack in it may have resulted from Moses striking it to bring forth water. None of this can be proven, and attempts to link it to Palestine via Jeremiah lack foundation.[/list]

says the one who is so blinded by your faith that you wont look into the possibilities that it might not be so at all 🙄 🙄 🙄
since this coming from one who clings to a mythology that there are no substantial evidence to back it up with makes what you said here plain stupid.

glad you think you have monopoly on the actual truth, so you just hang in their in your little world of delusion.

Like King David and Moses?

The whole meaning of faith is that you do not have doubts about it so if I were searching for other possibilities it maent that I did not have faith to begin with.
You still base your objections on your own opinion.

There are many others for instance the Black Obelisk of Shalmaneser, a seven foot, four sided pillar of basalt that describes the victories of King Shalmaneser III of Assyria. Dated to about 841BC, the Obelisk was discovered in the ancient palace of Nimrud and Shows Israel's King Jehu kneeling before the Asyyrian king in tribute (2 Kings 9-10).

Critical exegetes are generally agreed that certain prophecies, such as Jesus' prophecy of the destruction of the Temple of Jerusalem, were inserted into the text after the fact.

The proof that God exists is that finti's loving wife and their healthy daughter exist and become a part of his life.

God didn't have to create Adam from the ground He could have created him out of nothing just like the rest of the universe. When God said, "let their be light." light came on from nothing. Did you every hear God works in mysterious ways that is so mysterious that me and you will never understand. God is mysterious in every way.

God works in mysterious ways 😆 Thats just another excuse to keep the religon going. Now days god couldin't exist is he didint work in mysterious ways 😆

That was made up when you cristians couldin't explain everything. You just made up God works in mysterious ways 😆 😆 😆 😆
