IS GOD A MAN? THE BIBLE SAYS NO

Nu 23:19 God is not a man, that he should lie; neither the son of man, that he should repent: hath he said, and shall he not do it? or hath he spoken, and shall he not make it good?

1Sam 15:29 And also the Strength of Israel (God) will not lie nor repent: for he (God) is not a man, that he should repent.

Job 9:32 For he (God) is not a man, as I am, that I should answer him, and we should come together in judgment.

Hosea 11:9b ...I am God, and not man; the Holy One in the midst of thee: and I will not enter into the city.

WHO IS GOD?

The Bible tells one clearly who God is:  God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth. (John 4:24)

IS GOD A MAN?  MORMON LEADERS SAY YES

Mormon leaders claim that God the Father was a man, who became a God and this same progression is possible for people today. This quotation is taken from a book that Mormon leaders use to indoctrinate their followers. It may be a book that you have and are studying right now. Its name is "GOSPEL PRINCIPLES." If you have a copy of this book, please turn to page 305 and begin reading at the third paragraph. This is the exact quote:

"This is the way our Heavenly Father became God. Joseph Smith taught: 'It is the first principle of the Gospel to know for a certainty the character of God.... He was once a man like us;... God himself, the Father of us all, dwelt on an earth, the same as Jesus Christ himself did' (Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, pp. 345-46)."

Question: If God is not a man, then why are words like face, lips, ears, eyes, and fingers used when talking about Him?

Answer: These words are used in a figurative sense and they are identified as a figure of speech that is called an anthropomorphism.

An·thro·po·mor·phism n. a. an interpretation of what is not human or personal in terms of human or personal characteristics, b. a figure of speech that attributes human motivation, characteristics, or behavior to God (Ps 91:4 KJV) He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.

IF GOD IS NOT A MAN, WHO IS HE THEN?

God is the eternal (eternal, meaning without beginning or ending) Creator of all things. The God of the Bible is the Originator of all things including matter. He is one, Triune Being who exist in three distinct Persons, God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit. All other gods are false gods and exist only in the minds of those who created them. Through pride, like Satan, they seek or think themselves able to achieve, through works, the position of godhood. This One true God created, matter, angels, animals, man, and all other things as shown in these verses:

Gen 1:1 In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. 

John 1:3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

Col 1:16 For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
