How do you manage to delve in to semantic ranges, commentaries on unrelated usages of the term, pagan theology, etc. and never once touch on the context of the passage at hand?
"Should I worship here or there?" "Well you see it doesn't matter, because even though God has a body of flesh and bone, he deals with you on a spiritual level. Just think of it as online banking or a conversation on Skype."
This is a remarkably periphrastic manner of hiding the plain and precious truths of God.
Right, who needs passages like Deuteronomy 4 to define idolatry when a young boy from New York can just tell us how it really is? Man, the world needs to get on track!

I hope that is clear to everyone that God is spiritual.
to approach God in another realm would be impossible.

How much of a privilege was it for Joseph Smith to have seen that God has a body. The "plain and precious" truth.
