The "Form" of God
Posted by Vincent Cheung on May 29, 2007I have a question regarding the "form" of God. I have been reading your Systematic Theology. In one place you cite Deuteronomy 4:15-18 stating that God has "no form." We know that God the Father is spirit (John 4:24); however, Phillipians 2:6 states that Jesus was in the form of God (the Father). Would this "form" be rendered as an unseen form? And if God has no form, in what sense is Paul saying that God has a form at all? Thank You.
Watch out for equivocations when thinking about theological issues. And please see my Commentary on Philippians for an exposition on that passage.
