Answer 2

You misread what the creed and the what the bible says:

It's not either human or divine, it's BOTH.

The bible and the Nicene Creed say that Jesus was both fully human and fully divine at the same time. What part of being God and being born a man don't you understand? Here it is:

Nicene Creed (Profession of Faith)

We believe in one God, the Father, the almighty,
maker of heaven and earth, of all that is seen and unseen.

We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ,
the only Son of God,
eternally begotten of the Father,
God from God, light from light,
true God from true God,
begotten not made, one in being with the Father.
Through him all things were made.
For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven:
by the power of the Holy Spirit
he was born of the virgin Mary, and became man.

For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate;
he suffered, died, and was buried.
On the third day, he rose again
in fulfillment of the Scriptures;
he ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead,
and his kingdom will have no end.

We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son,
with the Father and the son he is worshipped and glorified.
He has spoken through the prophets.
We believe in one holy, catholic, apostolic church.
We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.
We look for the resurrection of the dead
and the life of the world to come. Amen.

I'm not going to hold your hand and read the bible to you. If you read it yourself, it plainly says this too all through the New Testament as well as being prophesied in the Old Testament.

Answer 3

Revelations 22:13: "I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last."

We don't deny he could have a body if he wanted to. Like how Jesus was all god, but all of god was not in Jesus, thus why he prayed and meditated.

Knowing the limitations of mere mortal men, I can't understand how any man could create the whole of the universe. But I can see how the creator of the universe could come to us, kinda like in Big Daddy (the movie), when Adam Sandler dressed up as scuba Sam's, scuba Steve's dad and asked the kid "help" with his kid to take a bath and study. Cheap analogy I know, but I think the point is made.

It is not written anywhere, just critical thinking

Answer 4

God is a soul Isa.1:14; Jer,29:5; God is a spirit John 4:24;
Adam and Eve were created souls, out of dust, life is by God's spirit[the pace maker];
All souls after Adam are born souls in sin to die and return to the dust, life is spirit, it returns back to God Psm.104:29,30; For their resurrection, to be resurrected souls.
1Cor.15:22; As in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
Luke 20:34-36; Angels do not die. Job 38:4-7; Angels saw earth become a focus for habitation as all already existed and that time must have been billions. As the soul of God is, so are the angels, the angels were able to materialize and have children by the daughters of men Gen.6:2-4; The flood came and they are as Jude 6; 2 Pet.2:4; says.
John 17:3,5,24; Jesus was with God before the world was.

Answer 5

Yes, God isn't a human. It is true that Moses talk to God, but he never talk face to face, he only visit to a mountain called kohe-tur and there he talk to god but never seen the god and once he asked God about his desire to see him at that very moment The God has clearly only shown his noor (a light) due to that light the mountain has completely become black, because that light is not a simple one, it is spiritual which no one can face but only moses.
The God is immortal, he don't have any child, he is not anyone's father, He is present everywhere, he has all the powers to made and destroy anything. He made Angles with Air, Jinn with Fire and Human with mud.
There is lot if you belive, that God isn't a human.

Answer 6

Because He cannot be physically touched and/or seen. The human species relies greatly upon sight for factual proof of existence. We doubt God's work and abilities even when the proof is right in front of our eyes to see and witness by so many, yet man will accept and trust a stranger's word without actual proof. Just think - how many times have you been scammed, lied to, treated badly, and cheated on by man, but you doubt what God can do for you, even when he proves Himself and gives you what you need no matter how bad you treat Him.

Answer 7

God could be humanoid, certainly but never human. According to the Bible He created humans from nothing and therefore logically cannot be one, since they did not exist prior to his creation of them. He did create them "in his image" so probably God has or can at least take the shape of something human in appearance.

I think the general feeling is that god's power/omnitpotentence/spirit would be hard pressed to be contained in any earthly vessel.

Answer 8

more like why do people think god is real. as for the moses saw god in a burning bush...haha sound like a bad acid trip. comon think about all the prophets and thne think about all the crazies thinking they are prophets today. yet we dont belive them. to each their own. if god helps you add structure to you life then so be it.

Answer 9

Moses never talked to God face to face, he only heard voices.

Answer 10

God is immortal - therefore not human. However God has human tendancies such as jealousy, rage, love. Therefore you work it out real or unreal? What use would an immortal have for petty emotions?

Answer 11

GOD is GOD...! no body, nothing .... just GOD. If you don't believe then it is GOD who for some reason don't want to let you believe. When sooner or later you satart believeing then you may realize that what was the reason why GOD didn't let you realize HIS existence. Good Luck...!
