:As it has been mentioned, those are anthropomorphism, note meant to be taken literal.  Not unlike Isa 66:1 where God calls earth His footstool.  God does not really have feet and they are not really resting on the earth.

We also know Jesus is not a door (John 10:7), or a rock (1 Cor. 10:4), or even a literal shepherd, so what does that prove?

No one is humanising God, God is telling us what He is like.

God has no feet? That's news to me?

Gen 3:8, "And they (Adam and Eve),  heard the voice of the LORD God, (He has a voice, and can talk, and being able to talk, He has a mouth and a tongue), walking (so He must have feet attached to legs for Him to be able to walk), in the garden in the cool of the day: and Adam and his wife hid themselves from the presence of the LORD God amongst the trees of the garden. (God must have literally been there in the garden, calling them with His voice, using His mouth and tongue, for them to want to hide themselves from Him in shame?)

Moses asked God to show Himself in His full glory, God said no one can see my face in my full glory, but I will place you in the cleft of this rock and place my hand over your eyes and I will walk past, I will remove my hand, and you can see my back parts.

Exodus 33: 18, And he said, I beseech thee, shew me thy glory.
    19, And he said, I will make all my goodness pass before thee, and I will proclaim the name of the LORD before thee; and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious, and will shew mercy on whom I will shew mercy.
    20, And he said, Thou canst not see my face: for there shall no man see me, and live.
    21, And the LORD said, Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon a rock:
    22, 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 and while I pass by: (God has hands).
    23, And I will take away mine hand and, and thou shalt see my back parts: but my face shall not be seen. (Look at that, God said, He has back parts, hands and a face too). :thumbsup:

It stands to reason that if God has  a face, has back parts, and a hand to cover Moses' eyes, God must also have front parts and every other bodily part, as we who are made in His Image and Likeness have.

beside the dozens of Scriptures which you believe are not literal, God walks in the garden in the cool of the evening, God has a hand, a face, back parts, and therefore other parts including front parts., or He is telling fibbies?

We can't try to hold God to the physical laws we are bound by.  He can create out of nothing; man cannot.

The breath of life. God gives life to every creature. But when Adam was created his spirit was alive within his soul -- hence "a living soul".  But ever since Adam, human beings are created as "dead s

    • Exhortation - October 24, 2024

      Albert Finch posted a blog entry in Albert Finch Ministry,

      You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • The Simchat Torah War -- Is this a Water Breaking Moment of Revival?

      George posted a topic in Biblical Topics,

      George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      George posted a topic in Study Group,

      Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2

      George posted a topic in Study Group,

      Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
