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 (to Moses), 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 speaking non-literally 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 kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption.  

Plainly, being a spirit does not prevent God from having a body.  It is a terrible heresy, sin, and mistake for theologians to hold this view that God has no body.

Some hundred plus years of Darwinian evolution have 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, Israel is she.  Jesus Christ, God’s Son, and God in his own right, is he, and his Bride, the Church is she. God is a straight male and the definition of manhood. 

Womanhood is the personage, complimentary to God, and men, and is critical in showing God is a straight male, not gay. Together, a married man and woman are the complete image of God.
