We take an anthropomorphic position because he said we were formed in his image and likeness.
He came in the flesh to overcome the temptations that led to the breaking of his original covenant with Israel; so that the Levitical law could be fulfilled, and a new covenant could be made with a new Israel.
If we are formed in his image, why does an all powerful god need a nose to breathe, a mouth to eat, and an anus to poop? Isn't that strange how he seems to need physiological activities to survive?
Image and likeness does not mean identical. If you don’t want to breathe, masticate, or defecate then I wish you the best of luck.
I need them obviously, but the god doesn't need to do any of those in order to exist. And if it's "likeness", paint me a picture of god that you are referring to without all the "ungodly" features.
