I don’t subscribe to Christianity, but I am a big proponent of

John 4:24
“God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.”

That’s what Jews have been telling the world for the past 3,000+ years. He is incorporeal, indivisible, infinite and eternal, omnipotent, omnipresent, omniscient with no shape or form. The only thing that can unite humanity is Spirit which in One and a perfect Unity.

The biggest lie that the Adversary tells mankind is that he can be God or a god and worshiping any man is considered idolatry.

Supporting statements from the Torah (aka The Five Books of Moses from the Old Testament) is

Numbers 23:19
“God is not a man, so he does not lie. He is not human, so he does not change his mind. Has he ever spoken and failed to act? Has he ever promised and not carried it through?”

Deuteronomy 4:15
“You saw no form of any kind the day the LORD spoke to you at Horeb out of the fire. Therefore watch yourselves very carefully,”

that is to say, you cannot conceive of Him as having any form because He is neither a body nor a bodily force.

Let’s consult the Judge and prophet, Samuel.

1 Samuel 15:29
“He who is the Glory of Israel does not lie or change his mind; for he is not a human being, that he should change his mind.”

How about the prophet Hosea?

Hosea 11:9
“I will not carry out my fierce anger, nor will I devastate Ephraim again. For I am God, and not a man— the Holy One among you. I will not come against their cities.”

And for the oldest story in the Tanach (aka the Bible)
Job 9:32
“For he is not a man, as I am, that I might answer him, that we should come to trial together.”

And for the followers of the Christian’s rabbi

Psalm 146:2-3

While I live will I praise HaShem: I will sing praises unto my G-d while I have any being.

Put not your trust in princes, nor in the son of man, in whom there is no help.

John 4:24 “God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.”

Indeed. But who is quoted above?

Isaiah 9:

6 For unto us a Child is born, Unto us a Son is given; And the government will be upon His shoulder. And His name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

7 Of the increase of His government and peace There will be no end, Upon the throne of David and over His kingdom, To order it and establish it with judgment and justice From that time forward, even forever. The zeal of the Lord of hosts will perform this.

I neither learned wisdom, nor have the knowledge of the holy. Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his son's name, if thou canst tell? -Proverbs 30:4

Collisions 1:15-17 "Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature: 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: And he is before all things, and by him all things consist."
