>>>Ok, now I'm confused. According to Genesis 1:26 and 1:27, God made man in his own image. First of all, that, at the very least, suggests that God does have an image to have made Adam in. Then, according to Genesis 2:23, woman is flesh of Adam's flesh and bone of Adam's bone. This suggests that Adam had a body of some sort, and presumably a brain. How does one interpret Genesis 1:26/27 and Genesis 2:23 given the concept that God has no body or brain?

>>I believe that means that man has a spirit - animals do not...that's why we're made in His image.

>>There's also a concept called anthropomorphism - whereby God uses bodily terms to make us understand Him better. The Bible is very clear that God is spirit and that God does not have a body.

>Could you point me to a passage or two that says that God has no body? I have to admit that Genesis seems pretty clear to me, and if it has to be interpreted tangentially in terms of other passages, I'd like to give them a more thorough read than I must have done back when.

I'd be happy to do that:

John 4:24 God is spirit, and those who worship him must worship in spirit and truth.

Luke 24:39 See my hands and my feet, that it is I myself. Touch me, and see. For a spirit does not have flesh and bones as you see that I have. - Here is Jesus speaking - saying that a spirit does not have flesh and bones.

1 Timothy 1:17 To the King of ages, immortal, invisible, the only God, be honor and glory forever and ever. - the "King" here is God
