No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him. (John 1:18)

Not that any man hath seen the Father, save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father. (John 6:46)

These two contradict each other.

How about Adam and Eve ?

None of the quotes say to me that God has no body. Of course God is a spirit - so are you.

God did not appear to man (other than Adam & Eve ?) in his perfected physical body. He sent Christ instead, in an earthly physical body.

BTW, I suspect you know far more about LDS doctrine and belief than you let on.

Interesting.

Not at all. Jesus was speaking of himself when he said, "save he which is of God, he hath seen the Father."

The New King James version makes the language clearer:

What about them? There is nothing in Genesis that states God has a body of flesh and bone.

No, GOD is a SPIRIT, we are mortal humans.

Not the same in the least.
