Does the Bible teach that God has a body of flesh and bone?
In a word, no. The Bible is clear that God is a spirit (John 4:24) and a
spirit does not have flesh and bones (Luke 24:39). Hosea 11:9 and Numbers
23:19 clearly state that God is not a man, and therefore cannot have a body
of flesh and bones.
The apostle Paul rebuked those who would liken the image "of the incorruptible God into an image made like to corruptible man." (Romans 1:22-23)
"To whom will ye liken me?" (Isaiah 40:25) asks God. If God is an exalted man, the answer to this question is simple.
