I need some help from some of the smarter people on the board.
The following was posted on another thread:
Can we follow this line of reasoning and be consistent with The Chalcedonian Creed?
I at first glance want to say that Mark is confusing the two natures by saying this, but when I try to reconcile, I find myself seperating the natures!
Also, if one CAN say that God "has a body," how does that reconcile with the WCF:
Mark - I mean this in no way trying to "prove you wrong" or anything like that. I only singled your post out because it raised this question for me, and I think it would be edifying (at least to me) to hear from others smarter than I on this issue.

I. There is but one only,[1] living, and true God,[2] who is infinite in being and perfection,[3] a most pure spirit,[4] invisible,[5] without body, parts,[6] or passions;[7] immutable,[8] immense,[9] eternal,[10] incomprehensible,[11] almighty,[12] most wise,[13] most holy,[14] most free,[15] most absolute;[16] working all things according to the counsel of his own immutable and most righteous will,[17] for his own glory;[18] most loving,[19] gracious, merciful, long-suffering, abundant in goodness and truth, forgiving iniquity, transgression, and sin;[20] the rewarder of them that diligently seek him;[21] and withal, most just, and terrible in his judgments,[22] hating all sin,[23] and who will by no means clear the guilty.[24]
