God is a Straight Male with a
Magnificent, Real, Body

Many theologians and church
leaders say that God is a spirit and thus does not have a body and does not
really have gender. That he is only
being “anthropomorphic” in representing himself as a male person, to us
mortals. This is false. God
is completely able to be BOTH a spirit and a male person. It is not
true, as these theologians are effectively saying that God is speaking falsely
and misrepresenting himself throughout the entire Bible. God is completely
truthful.
Exodus 31:18 And he gave unto Moses, when he had made an
end of communing with him upon Mount Sinai, two tables of testimony, tables of
stone, written with the finger of God.
Obviously, God has a finger.
Exodus 33: 21-23 And the LORD said, Behold, there is a place
by me, and thou shalt stand upon a rock: 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: And I will take
away mine hand, and thou shalt see my back parts: but
my face shall not be seen. Obviously God has a face, a hand, and back
parts. The Bible is correct, the
religious “experts” are dead wrong.
Revelation 4:2 And immediately I was in the spirit: and,
behold, a throne was set in heaven, and one sat on the throne. 5:1 And I saw in the right hand of him that
sat on the throne a book written within and on the backside, sealed with seven
seals. Plainly God is seated on his thrown and has a book in his right hand. Yes he does have a body!
Some will introduce a “red
herring” in that there are several Bible verses where God speaks metaphorically
as though he has wings. We know he is
doing so from Jesus’ plain words in John 14: 8-9: Philip saith unto
him, Lord, show us the Father, and it sufficeth us.
Jesus saith unto him, Have I
been so long time with you, and yet hast thou not known me, Philip? he that hath seen me hath seen the Father; and how sayest thou then, Show us the Father? Plainly
Jesus did not have wings, so neither does the heavenly Father, and it is further
clear that Jesus’ body accurately represents the Father’s body, and we
believers will one day see the Father.
Thus, God is a straight male. See
Rev 22:4 also.
Hebrews 1:3, tells us Jesus
Christ is the “express image of his (God’s) person. In slang, he’s a “dead ringer” of God.
If we consider 1 Corinthians
15: 35-50 we see that in the resurrection we will be spirits with spirit bodies, and be in God’s image: But some man will say, How
are the dead raised up? and with what body do they
come? Thou fool, that which thou sowest is not
quickened, except it die: And that which thou sowest,
thou sowest not that body that shall be, but bare
grain, it may chance of wheat, or of some other grain: But God giveth it a body as it hath pleased him, and to every seed
his own body. All flesh is not the same flesh: but there is one kind of flesh
of men, another flesh of beasts, another of fishes, and another of birds. There
are also celestial bodies, and bodies terrestrial: but
the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another.
There is one glory of the sun, and another glory of the moon, and another glory
of the stars: for one star differeth from another
star in glory. So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in
corruption; it is raised in incorruption: It is sown in dishonour;
it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power: It is
sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body,
and there is a spiritual body. And so it is written, The
first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening
spirit. Howbeit that was not first which is spiritual, but that which is
natural; and afterward that which is spiritual. The first man is of the earth,
earthy; the second man is the Lord from heaven. As is the earthy, such are they
also that are earthy: and as is the heavenly, such are they also that are
heavenly. And as we have borne the image of the earthy, we shall also bear the
image of the heavenly. Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot
inherit the
Some hundred plus years of
Darwinian evolution has fooled many people into thinking the Bible is wrong in
many places. But now we have the
stunning, side by side, comparison of our own painstakingly make high tech
world, and God’s painstakingly made molecular biological high tech world. The Bible is exactly right about special
creation after all, and we can place the utmost confidence in the plain
teaching of Scripture that God is indeed a straight male person.
God is he,
