There are several places in the bible that state God has walked on earth and will walk among us. I’ve always assumed these passages have meant on legs.
There is also the time God came to Abraham as one of his three visitors. God stayed with Abraham while the two angels went to Sodom and Gomorrah.
I have always thought that John 10:30, “I and my Father are one,” cinched many’s belief that Jesus is God in human form and his bodily form was a “son of God” as are all God’s followers.

The Bible is not a unified work that has come down to us unchanged from its original autographs; rather, it’s an anthology of 66 or 73, books with different origins and literary histories.

I am aware of this, though unsure what it has to do with my comment. I am missing something in your response maybe.

Those who wrote the bible added things not in the original bible.
God didn’t come to Abraham. The three visitors were angels.
The same thing with " God has walked on earth and will walk among us. " and “I and my Father are one,” .
Jesus is not God in human form and not a “son of God” .
Jesus is a prophet like Abraham and others.

Apparantly God has no gender. He refers to his person as mother and father.
Some interesting info I learned. I LOVE THAT !!!

God is self-existent, self-sufficient, eternal, immutable, omnipresent, omniscient, omnipotent, sovereign, and infinite. He is neither a mother nor a father.

God is all those things and is called both mother and father in the bible, just as he calls himself Creator and many other things. Why would he even have a gender if he is not a sexual being?

Those who wrote the bible added God is mother and father. It is not in the original bible.
The Quran says; The Jews call 'Uzair (Ezra) a son of God, and the Christians call Christ the son of God. That is a saying from their mouth; (in this) they but imitate what the unbelievers of old used to say. God 's curse be on them; how they are deluded away from the Truth!

The original bible? What do you mean?

The Codex Vaticanus has been kept at the Vatican Library since around the 15th century, and it is the oldest known Bible in existence. The verses are printed on sheets of vellum.
Most Christian scholars familiar with the subject of textual criticism will acknowledge that the most accurate of modern translations likely contain an error rate of about 2%.

I’m not familiar with this original bible. I was taught that William Tyndall translated the books I studied from their original languages into English. I know there are many books not in the bible, but was not aware of things being randomly added.

The Jewish concept of God is that God is non-corporeal, transcendent and immanent, the ultimate source of love, and a metaphorical "Father".
The New Testament contains no explicit trinitarian doctrine. However, many Christian theologians, apologists, and philosophers hold that the doctrine can be inferred from what the New Testament does teach about God.
Nontrinitarianism is a form of Christianity that rejects the mainstream Christian doctrine of the Trinity.
