God is ( Isaiah 40 v 18 ff )

I noticed that a strange look came  over the face of a Mormon, when I said,'God is not a man' ( Numbers 23 v  19 ), for they believe that God has become human,according to them God has a body. It appears they do not accept the scripture that tells us ,that God is Spirit ( John 4 v 24 ).God has no eyes but He can see,He has no mouth, but He can speak, He has no ears but he can hear,He has no ,and so we could go on.The Bible refers to Gods hands,His mouth, His face,the word that is used for this practice is called anthropomorphism,I read the following on this subject,''The use of human terminology to talk about God is necessary when we in our limitations wish to express truths about Deity, who by his very nature cannot be described or known ,without anthropomophic expressions,this  Theological reality would remain inexplicable'' In other words it is a simple  way in which we can,relate to one,whose being is beyond our understanding.
