Does the Christian god have a body?

hand in hand?

For what I understand is that there god is a spirt since he dead for us and is in heaven.So no I do not think that god does have a body.Inleast that is what I understand.JM

The initial burden of proof lies with the theist. The ball will only be hit back and forth because the theist cannot provide that support.

Dan 7:9 I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the HAIR of his HEAD like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire.

This verse sounds like he has a head and hair and we were fashioned in his image at creation. Other scriptures speak of his hands.

PRAISE THE LORD !!!

I `don't think those are literal, those were visions.

just as it is with pink elephants

Visions are generally symbolic, not literal...

But it could also have to do with this...

The question concerns Christianity... and for Christians who only believe in the existence of God.

So as a Christian, I believe that God created man in His own image. Yes. Before, the man (the first man) has an"image" similar to God. Not physically... not mentally... but spiritually. The first men (couple) was created in the likeness of God... and also of the angels...

And what is this "image" common to God, the angels, and first man?

Being HOLY and BLAMELESS.

But because man committed sin when they disobeyed the commandments of God, they were "disconnected" from the Holiness of God. So, God required all men to return to Him to have the right again to be HOLY and BLAMELESS. This can be done THROUGH Christ.

Yes, the Christian God has a body. That body is Jesus Christ, God in the flesh. Jesus existed in the beginning with God because Jesus is God. Don't try to figure it out. The three divine persons are God, father, son, holy spirit. All are one and God. Jesus said before Abraham, I am. He also said whoever sees me sees the Father.
