# WHY WOULD GOD NEED TO HAVE A BODY OF FLESH AND BONES?

There is only one religion in this world that believes and preaches this. It is based on just one thing that happened to a boy of which there are about 4 different versions of this story but the members of this church believe that this one is the “real” one. In reality it doesn’t even mention that it was God and Jesus Christ but just mentions the fact that they were two personages. That in itself would be grounds enough for doubting that this whole thing even occurred but we can nowadays read the exact words that were written and see for ourselves if this is true or not, or at least come pretty close to determining whether it is or not. It clearly states in the Bible that: You cannot see My face, for no man can see Me and live. Would this scripture then make this account something that couldn’t be true? Let’s continue and see where this will take us. According to Joseph Smith’s own words he stated: I saw two Personages, whose brightness and glory defy all description, standing above me in the air. One of them spake unto me, calling me by name and said, pointing to the other—This is My Beloved Son, Hear Him. This would mean pretty clear that he “saw” a Personage which this church accepts it as being God Himself and since they were not one personage but two this would mean that they are separate beings. Since he would not be able to touch any of them then I don’t really know how he came up with the conclusion that they both had a body of flesh and bones. They apparently were wearing robes. Unlike the angel Moroni that one could see his naked body that would show through the openings in his robe. “His hands were naked, and his arms also, so were his feel naked, as were his legs, and so was his head and neck and I could discover that he had no other clothing on but this robe, as it was open, so that I could see into his bosom”. Let’s say that regardless of what has been written one were to still believe what he saw then this would be the end of the dilemma. Not quite. We read in the Bible that Moses saw God speaking to him through a burning bush that would not consume itself. Because no man can see God and survive He manifested Himself in the form of a burning bush. Since He can do anything this scripture would make sense and one can believe that it was true. When Jesus was baptized by John God’s spirit manifested Himself by descending like a dove and settling on Him. Then a voice from heaven said, “This is my dearly loved Son, who brings me great joy”. With these two passages one can see that God can manifest Himself to humans in many different ways but there is one way that He can’t and that is for us to “see Him” as He truly is and be able to live. Another scripture that I would like to quote is about what happened on the mount of transfiguration. “A bright cloud overshadowed them and behold a voice out of the cloud which said: This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased; hear ye him”. So far there are four different accounts of being able to “see or hear” God. The first one is “seeing” Him and knowing that He had flesh and bones. The second one is “seeing and hearing” the burning bush. The third is “seeing” a dove and “hearing” a voice from heaven. The fourth is “seeing” a cloud and “hearing” a voice. Nobody that is living now knows for sure which one these accounts is not true. Maybe none of them are true but if the majority wins then for sure there is only one loser. When one discovers that a “true” church is teaching something that is false then one starts to wonder what else they are preaching that is not true. This has been going on not just for a few years but for almost 200 years but the time has come to uncover if what has been preached all of these years is true or not. Hopefully I have done my part to clarify something that I discovered this last weekend and wanted to share it with others that care to know this information that I have provided. The only benefit I get from this is that I know that I have been guided to know this information and it has not come from just my own thoughts.
