Did the Son of God have a physical body at creation?

Do the Father and the Holy Spirit have the same type of body that you attribute the Son as having? I'm just trying to understand here.

That is a diffidult question.

The Trinity are one God; NOT 3 separate beings. So in one sense they could all have that same body, but they are both spirits so they don't.

Like I said in my last post, God is beyond logic.

Are they still ministering spirits?
Do they also have an angelic/heavenly/spiritual body like the other angels?

Of course.

The question I pursue is how do angels get a body that they appear in?
Care to answer that question?

I don't know. I do know that the incarnation is the unique and specific action of God in Christ Jesus for the redemption of the world.

Proverbs 8:22-36. Christ was in Eden from the beginning walking with his creation.

My question pertains to on the first day of creation, not some days later. What form did the Son of God have for eternity before creation?

Look at verse 28. Christ was standing on earth looking "above" when he made the skies firm.

In another thread one said that the Son of God always had a physical body. That at creation, we were made in the likeness of God and since we have physical bodies, that means the Son of God had a physical body when he created us in his image.

What do you think?

This all comes from 1John where it is said that in the beginning was THE WORD and the WORD was GOD. This is where the confusion comes in and leads to questions like this.
Most folks say the WORD is the Bible. Some say the WORD is Jesus. Some say he is both, which is really odd to me. A body isn't a word unless the word word means something completely different.

From Wiki: Logos (UK: /ˈloʊɡɒs, ˈlɒɡɒs/, US: /ˈloʊɡoʊs/; Ancient Greek: λόγος, translit. lógos; from λέγω, légō, lit. 'I say') is a term in Western philosophy, psychology, rhetoric, and religion derived from a Greek word variously meaning "ground", "plea", "opinion", "expectation", "word", "speech", "account", "reason", "proportion", and "discourse"

These attributes of the Logos are not physical. So they could not mean Jesus physical body or the bible.
It seems to me that the "Word" of God, The Logos is the nature of God. Any word, thought or action that comes from God is Gods word. And we know that God IS Love, so we can know the word of God.

An image is not a clone of the original. A picture is an image--definitely not the same substance. A doll in the image of a woman--Barbie--is still not of the same substance--for that matter, a corncob doll is in the image of man. The statue of David, made in his image--is still not of the same substance. And no matter how life like a robot my seem--they are still not flesh and bone and blood.

What do we mean by physical? I can only assume you mean physical as we recognize the concept, in which case I have to say, no, but my reason is that such things in this life are only poor representations of the reality of that existence. This is but a vapor by comparison. Physical? --what do we know of physical?
