Estudio de las Escrituras: Dios Tiene un Cuerpo Físico

El hecho de que el hombre fue creado a imagen de Dios sugiere que Dios no es una fuerza misteriosa o un ser inmaterial, sino que Dios es un ser físico y nos hicieron seres físicos en su semejanza.

Genesis 1:26-27:

• And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.
• So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

El profeta bíblico Jacob vio a Dios cara a cara, lo que sugiere que Dios tiene un cuerpo físico.

• And Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.

El profeta bíblico Moisés no sólo vio a Dios cara a cara, pero habló con él.

Exodus 33:11:

• And the LORD spake unto Moses face to face, as a man speaketh unto his friend. And he turned again into the camp: but his servant Joshua, the son of Nun, a young man, departed not out of the tabernacle.

Exodus 33:21-23:

• And the LORD said, Behold, there is a place by me, and thou shalt stand upon a rock:
• 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 while I pass by:
• And I will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my back parts: but my face shall not be seen.

Moisés (y otros) también vieron los pies de Dios.

Exodus 24:9-11:

• Then went up Moses, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel:
• And they saw the God of Israel: and there was under his feet as it were a paved work of a sapphire stone, and as it were the body of heaven in his clearness.
• And upon the nobles of the children of Israel he laid not his hand: also they saw God, and did eat and drink.

Los mormones creen que cuando Moisés escribió que Dios tiene una boca, él no estaba hablando alegóricamente.

Numbers 12:6-8:

• And he said, Hear now my words: If there be a prophet among you, I the LORD will make myself known unto him in a vision, and will speak unto him in a dream.
• My servant Moses is not so, who is faithful in all mine house.
• With him will I speak mouth to mouth, even apparently, and not in dark speeches; and the similitude of the LORD shall he behold: wherefore then were ye not afraid to speak against my servant Moses?

Moisés también mencionó la boca de Dios en otros lugares.

Deuteronomy 8:3:

• And he humbled thee, and suffered thee to hunger, and fed thee with manna, which thou knewest not, neither did thy fathers know; that he might make thee know that man doth not live by bread only, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of the LORD doth man live.
