Kevin wrote: > Is this orthodox belief? > Any historical/Church father support? With the exception of Tertullian, most church fathers did not accept the idea of God having a body. However, there are problems with definitions in regards to this. For example, Origen's argument was that any body would be material substance, and since we know that material substance is corruptible, God could not have a body because he is incorruptible. Well, what about an incorruptible body? He never considered such an idea. By the way, Tertullian was a guy kind of like you. He slashed and dashed those he disagreed with, making them look quite foolish when he finished his arguments. Since he was one who did argue that Father God has a body, you might find it interesting to read him on this subject; howbeit, most of the time is taken to argue that the soul itself is coporeal. :-) Kevin wrote: > Does the Holy Spirit have a body? I tend to think that the Holy Spirit inhabits the bodies of the Father and the Son and the redeemed also; therefore, he does not have his own body. The Holy Spirit's work is to make the Father and Son omniscient and to connect the saints to the Father and the Son. Remember when Stephen saw heaven opened up, he saw the Father and the Son at the right hand of the Father, but he did not see a third person. Kevin wrote: > Since God is invisible can you see his invisible body? The term "invisible" does not mean non-existent, nor does it mean impossible to be seen. It means that it is not discernible to the physical eye. When Jesus talked with the two on the road to Emmaeus, he vanished (became invisible). This does not mean that he no longer had a body.
