Well, this is a continuation of "Mature Christians Use All Their Senses". After talking about touch, I decided that I would go on to the sense of smell. After hours and hours of looking at scripture and doing searches on every bible software I have come to the conclusion that God does not have a smell!
Now in my studies it became clear that human beings do have many smells. Many times God smells us as opposed to false gods who can not. Deu 4:28 "And there ye shall serve gods, the work of men's hands, wood and stone, which neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell." Whether it be good smelling things or bad smelling things. Our evil actions are seen as bad smells. Amos 5:21 "I hate, I despise your feast days, and I will not smell in your solemn assemblies."
Our good actions are seen as good smells in the nostrils of God. Phi 4:18 But I have all, and abound: I am full, having received of Epaphroditus the things [which were sent] from you, an odour of a sweet smell, a sacrifice acceptable, wellpleasing to God.
Have you ever noticed that there isn't a single smell that the human body makes naturally that is really very pleasant.....that could be a result of our sin nature.....makes sense to me.
Nowhere in scripture does it say that God has a smell. I guess that's pretty consistant with purity and holiness. See smell happens when tiny particles are added to the air. God is 100% pure and the bible seems consistant with that in that God does not have a smell!
If anyone ever comes across a verse that would share something different please let me know! Thanks
