Are you never gonna get it? I show you hundreds of contradictions. You ignore them. I show you the absurdities and the cruelties. You evade. Now you wish to deny that (your) God has a body.
You claim that the inerrant word of God is your infallible guide, but you subvert it beneath this Westminster confession, at the hands of men. It is Satan's job to turn the Word of God tupsy turvy. It is not yours.

1:26
And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.
Whose image was man made in? In the image of the Gods. Man does not resemble/look like a cow or a tree. He looks like the Gods look. This could not be any clearer. It is as clear as the mud that the Gods worked with to mould man into a form that looked the way they looked.
Eodus33:11
And the LORD spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend. And he turned again into the camp: but his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, departed not out of the tabernacle
Moses saw God FACE TO FACE. WHAT COULD BE CLEARER??
Stephen saw God; Isaiah saw God; Ezekial saw God; John saw God;
The words of God, especially in the OT, are not subtle. The writing might be dull and boring. The ideas might be crude, narrow, immoral and disgusting. The atmosphere might be oppressive and brooding. The theme might be fear, powerlessness, subjugation and supplication--but the language is still simple and unalloyed.
Why do you attempt to tamper with the word of God? What gives you that right? That is the job of the serpent. It is in his job description next to eating dust. Moses talked to God face to face. God walked in the garden with Adam (when He could find him). God made man in His image; And He showed Himself to men. |
