You misunderstand me friend. Why do we complicate something that we should understand by the things that are made?
20 For since the creation of the world His invisible attributes are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse, (Romans 1:20)

While I certainly wouldn't disagree, I think it's important to note that understanding also comes through the word of God, which, after all, has also been made.

104 Through Your precepts I get understanding; Therefore I hate every false way. (Psalm 119:104)

Ok God is not a man, for you do show evidence that He was a incarnate of a man.

Remember Christ was before was the incarnate of a angel called "the Angel of the Lord". (Genesis 22:15-16) clearly states that He was the incarnate of Christ. And also read (Genesis 18) to the verse 13, it clearly states that it was the Lord, and then read the rest of the chapter. Remember when the three angels visited Abraham, their was one angel called the "Angel of the Lord" (later in the story of Abraham) as identifying Him as something greater then the others. And again remember only God has the power to command judgment on the city of Sodom and Gomorrah, only the Lord brings the ending judgment that makes the complete result (Genesis 18)

And let us not forget about Jesus being in other forms or appearances (Luke 24:15-31)(John 21:4). Yes God can be in things, beings and humans in forms as He likes. He can transform or make a body to live in.....huh think about Jesus he was God in a man......He was in a different appearance in (John 21:4) and (Luke 24:15-31)

Ahh let us also not forget about the angel of the Lord with the three hebrew boys in the book of Daniel. (Daniel 3:23-26) shows that the servant of the Lord was no other than another reincarnate of Christ. but remember God is not a man for He made man and became a man who is Jesus Christ to bring us with Him to the kingdom of God! And to sum up this with some Jesus quotes......(Matthew 10:28 )(Matthew 28:20) Amen.

Amen! Amen!
Yes, lots of good references here, though I am not saying that God is a human or a mortal, created man. He is the Creator, and He made mankind in His image. He is not a man that He should lie, but He is a man of war.

19 "God is not a man, that He should lie, Nor a son of man, that He should repent. Has He said, and will He not do? Or has He spoken, and will He not make it good? (Numbers 23:19)

3 The Lord is a man of war; The Lord is His name. (Exodus 15:3)

26 And above the firmament over their heads was the likeness of a throne, in appearance like a sapphire stone; on the likeness of the throne was a likeness with the appearance of a man high above it. (Ezekiel 1:26)

Even the Holy Spirit has appeared "in bodily form."

22 And the Holy Spirit descended in bodily form like a dove upon Him, and a voice came from heaven which said, "You are My beloved Son; in You I am well pleased." (Luke 3:22)
