The corporeal Nature of God

[Revelations won]

Is God a God without body parts and passions as many claim?

Who can declare his corporeal nature?

Is God a God without body parts and passions as many claim?

Who can declare his corporeal nature?

The Bible declares it. When mankind was crated in the person of Adam, whose image and likeness were they created after? They were created after the image and likeness of Christ who is the image of the invisible God.

This is why the word Elohym is plural, yet correctly translated as God. Being created after the image and likeness of God means that we resemble God in the person of Christ who is the beginning of the creation of God.

Revelation 3:14 (KJV) 14 And unto the angel of the church of the Laodiceans write; These things saith the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation of God;

This beginning referring to Christ means that he has preeminence in all things, as God of course does, including dying and raising from the dead to pay for sins before the world was created. This means that Christ, who knew no sin, became sin and paid the penalty the law of God required. Then when Adam and Eve sinned, look what Elohym says:

Genesis 3:22 (KJV) 22 And the LORD God said, Behold, the man is become as one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:

God said that man, now knowing sin, had become like ONE of the Godhead. Which one? Christ of course because he was the lamb slain from the foundation of the world. And because this is when the actual atonement was made, then when we read of passages that speak of his atonement, we know that it was not at the New Testament cross but rather before the world began. And this passage in particular helps us confirm that God indeed had a body when he took our sins upon himself in the person of Christ when he paid for sins at the point of the world's foundation.

1 Peter 2:24 (KJV) 24 Who his own self bare our sins in his own body on the tree, that we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness: by whose stripes ye were healed.

The tree is a synonym for being under the curse of God for becoming sin.

Deuteronomy 21:23 (KJV) 23 His body shall not remain all night upon the tree, but thou shalt in any wise bury him that day; (for he that is hanged is accursed of God...
