We are mixing apples and oranges, Dave.
Jesus does have a resurrected body, but the God Father is Spirit... that
is, He ain't got no body.
Didn't you tell me in a previous post that we woud discuss these things
based on the Bible? And, didn't you ask if I thought God (the Father) had a
body of flesh and bones, and ask for Biblical evidence that he did not? I
posted several verses that indicate that He does not.
Now for the difference in our viewpoints. You imagine that god (the
father) has a body since he was once a man, right? however, there is no
biblical verses to support that position...in fact, there are verses, as I
pointed out, that indicate the complete opposite.
When I say 'God' I usually mean "the Father", but sometimes mean the
triune God. I will try to distinguish which I mean, if it is not evident
from the context.
Now, when you say 'God', are you referring to the Father, Jesus, the Holy
Spirit, any of the three, or all three?

DAVEH: DavidM's beliefs are reflected in his understanding of the word of
God as revealed in the Bible. My beliefs are based in LDS theology, which
recognizes a much broader spectrum of the revealed word of God. So....I
see his presumptions as being based on a narrower database than mine.
As for God having a body of flesh and bone (since the resurrection), is
there any Christian who can reasonably think he does not have one
considering what Jesus said about his resurrected body of flesh and bone?
Is not the basis of Christian belief that Jesus was and remains a
resurrected being, consisting of a body of flesh and bone? And if Jesus
is God, why would a Christian today not think God now has a body of flesh
and bone, even though he was correctly identified as having a spirit body
in the OT?
This puzzles me, Perry. I see that the Bible teaches the above, and
logically I assume Christians would agree with what I explained above. Yet
I suspect there are very few Christians who would agree with what I wrote
above. Which way do you come down on this?
