philosopher: We see clearly from the Torah, that Hashem has no guf.
I’m not disputing that Hashem has a guf c”v, just your statement that it is clear that that is the case from the Torah.
In Mishneh Torah Hilchos Teshuvah (3:7) the Rambam write that one who says that Hashem has a guf is a min. The Raavad argues that such a person should not be considered a min as, “a number [of people] greater and better than him [the Rambam] followed this view because of what they say in the pesukim… which confused the minds.”
ולמה קרא לזה מין וכמה גדולים וטובים ממנו הלכו בזו המחשבה לפי מה שראו במקראות ויותר ממה שראו בדברי האגדות המשבשות את הדעות
So it’s not so clear from the Torah itself.
