God - form
From PhiloWiki
God is described in the Bible as having human form and features.
- God has eyelids, arms, nostrils, fingers, mouth, and feet [Ps 8:3]
- God rides upon cherubs [Ps 18:10]
Is God anthropomorphic - does He take human form?

No.
- "Some may argue that God does not become a human being but only takes a human form. If God only takes a human form but does not become a human being, He should not possess any human qualities. We know that all the ‘God-men’, have human qualities and failings. They have all the human needs such as the need to eat, sleep, etc.
- The worship of God in human form is therefore a logical fallacy and should be abhorred in all its forms and manifestations.
- That is the reason why the Qur’an speaks against all forms of anthropomorphism. The Glorious Qur’an says in the following verse:
- "There is nothing whatever like unto Him." [Al-Qur’an 42:11]
