DOES GOD THE FATHER HAVE A PHYSICAL BODY? Some twist Genesis, which tells us man was created in the image of God. But to say God the Father has a body is not what the Bible is talking. That idea comes from false sources outside the Bible. "Made in God's image" is not referring to a physical body because God the Father does not have a body. John 4:24 tells us, "God is Spirit." We are not made in His image bodily, but instead it is both morally and spiritually. Besides being created in His image morally, we were also given a spirit nature for our existence in the rest of eternity. The latter is why all of mankind, throughout every age, will exist forever. However, each person's dwelling spot, after our life on earth, will be forever in one of only two places; heaven or hell. Because we have an eternal nature, one or the other will be the future for us, all ancestors, and any future humans born. There is no annihilation, as some false religions and cults teach. We are wonderfully made in God's image, both morally and spiritually.
