If God is a being, is he tangible?

Question

I mean, when I get to heaven (Hopefully) can I hug him? Or is he beyond what we can comprehend as being a "being"? Please no offensive answers, believers only- In which ever your God is. Thanks

Answer 1

If you accept Christ as your savior and believe he is the son of God.

If you live uprightly and just try not to live in sin.

Then you are going to Heaven.

Do not live in fear that you will not be accepted into eternity. The rules are very simple and clearly stated.

As for God being tangible....

Tangible is an earthly thing. The physicality that is present upon earth is not in heaven. Our tangible bodies are imperfect, therefore they will not be in heaven.

With that being said, when we are in heaven we will be in the same state as God.

Whether we can hug him ... well... hug is an earthly concept.

But a hug is created from love.

And love was created by God. God is love.

So I'm sure there will be some heavenly form of the action we call a hug!!

God Bless You!

Answer 2

Christ was resurected. He was touched by the apostles. They felt the marks in his hands and feet and side. At the time he was perfect. He had stood in the presence of God. If that is perfection and we can assume God is perfect he must have a tangible Body as real as Christs.

Answer 3

I'm afraid you cannot "hug him"... but you'll feel His powerful love more than any hug you ever had... God is not tangible; we cannot comprehend what God is... that's why He's God...

God bless

Answer 4

If God was a being, I would think he would be tangible. But since he is just a concept made by man, he isn't.

Answer 5

Thank you for getting me to think about it.

Here's my thoughts and feelings:

that we won't be needing to hug a tangible. . .
there will be a fulfilling sense of overall embrace,
a full, unencumbered sense of being--of ourself and of God,
a higher sense of reality than we feel in this life.

Answer 6

He is tangible ... and He isn't.

Water, ice and steam are all the same thing, but the only one you can hug is ice ... assuming you are into that sort of thing lol.

So sure, you can hug Him, but who knows in what form?

Answer 7

God as we name it is not a being. It is "satchidananda".
Sat is the truth, Chit is the super-consciousness, ananda is total bliss. You can embrace it and you will be swimming in bliss. Saints have this experience which makes them look like drunken persons.Omar Khayyam describes this as the divine wine.

Answer 8

He is very tangible!
Yes you can!

Answer 9

I really think we'll only know for sure when we get there.

Answer 10

The Bible itself, tells that what kinds of changes were brought therein to mislead the people of Gospels. Torah (the Law of Moses) says that God talked to the nation of Moses on the mount Sinai where God gave the Commandments in
Godly voice.

When people heard the voice, they did tremble in fear and awe. And, later on, they requested the Lord, not to talk to them, so directly again. Because to bear with the Godly voice, was beyond their tolerance. The Lord, of course, acceded to their request.

God’s Foremost Commandment was about God’s Absolute Aloneness.
God said:-

“Worship no god but Me”.
(Exodus, 20:3)

“I, and I alone, am God; no other god is real.
I kill and I give life, I wound and I heal,
And no one can oppose what I do”.
(Duet. 32:39)

That was the foremost Commandment, given by the Lord in Godly voice to the nation of Moses. Wherein God mentioned further:-
“Worship Me alone and whosoever
will worship the god, other than Me,
will be My rival. And, I tolerate no
rivals. I will curse the people who do so”.

God also mentioned to the people___ not to make & worship the images of God. God told them that nothing is alike God in the heaven or on the earth, or under the earth, or in the water.

It simply meant that God is not like anything at all and a thing or a creature can never be considered as God.

The Bible also tells us that God is Omnipotent. The Book of Genesis, in its 1st chapter, says:
“God commanded, Let there be light
And the light appeared”.
(Genesis 1:3)

It simply means that God can create whatsoever God wills. So, according to the Bible, it is very clear that God, our Lord, is All Alone and whatsoever is created____ is created by God, independently.
The Verse “Nothing is alike God” makes us understand that:

1.The Absolute God should never be denounced as a thing.
2.The Absolute God is the Beyond of everything.
3.Things and persons are not God’s parts or partners.
4.Things or persons should not be considered as God or the partners of God.
5.The Absolute God must be believed as the Absolute Creator of everything.
6.God is All Powerful and should not be considered as subservient to anything.
7.God is Holy and free from all sorts of needs, creaturely qualities should not be associated to God.
8.God has created the system of birth. God does not give birth to anything at all and no one has given birth to God. God is the Holy Creator and God must be believed as the Holy Creator of everything, in heavens, on earth and under the earth, in water.
9.God should not be apprehended by virtue of intellect.
10.God is not a quality or condition.
11.God does not bear any state or stature.
12.God is not encompass-able by apprehension.
13.Accession to God is not possible by any kind of knowledge, wisdom, realization or efforts.
14.God is God____ not a creature.
15.God makes every “Complete” as “Perfect”.
16.God is never increased or decreased at all.
17.God is not a life-holder, instead, God is the Creator of life & death and the Beginning and the End.
18.God is not the subject of ascension or decline.
19.God exercises absolute control over everything and nothing can outdo God.
20.God is overwhelming everything and nothing can overwhelm God.
21.Nothing is beyond God’s all-encompassing accession.
22.God’s existence does not bear any bounding line or edge.
23.Almightiness, exposed by God, is just a glimpse of God’s Infinite Power.
24.The creatures can not break their limits. Nor they can come out of their limits unless the Creator permits them.
25.God is the Sustainer of everything while none is there to sustain God.
26.God is Alive and the Eternal, without spirit. Spirit is a commandment of God, which is not alike God at all.
27.No praise or tribute has any accession to God.
28.God is the Lord of Worlds.
29.God is not common or a special happening, which took place or which is taking place. Instead, God is the Creator of every happening since inception.
30.All the things and persons are the beggars before God while God is the Sole Blesser to everyone.
31.God’s Messengers or Prophets are God’s servants and they are subservient to God in every matter.

God is the Ever Exalted and the Absolute-Holy. Every praise is meant for God and God is so Eminent that pride is befitting to God alone. God’s Holiness is supported by the fact that God is not like anything and there is no end to God’s praise at all.

Worship of persons and things___ or animals and snakes___ or any image or imagination___ is a tremendous sin.
God is not light___ spirit___ or energy___, which comes and goes___ appears and disappears___ here and there___ in things and persons. Instead, God is the Absolute Creator of everything including energy___ light___ and spirit___ and ___ God is present everywhere.
A.The Lord, Our God says:
“Worship no God but Me” in Ten Commandments and in Quran God says “There is no God but the God Alone” and in Gita, Krishna says:

“People need not worship any demigod, they need only to worship the Supreme Lord”.

Worship means to show oneself lowly before God and to ask God for God’s blessings. While God means the Worth-Worshipping-One Who is Omnipotent and Who can punish for sins and bless for obedience.

“There is no god but the God Alone” means, no one is worth worshipping but the Omnipotent.
“Worship no god” or “There is no god” further clearly means no one is able to become god by any means.

To honour God or to serve God means to trust God and to act according to God’s Commandments.

We should believe God as God commands us to believe. If things and persons could ever become God then there would have been no need to declare that “There is no god but the God Alone”.

God is Absolute Holy and God should be believed as Absolute Holy according to the Commandments.

Creatures of God are creatures of God and can never become god through any kind of efforts, knowledge or realization.


God is Holy. The concept of Unseen God’s appearance in material or immaterial things___ is absurd. Because, such a concept confines, the Unseen God into a limited state and image. While God is Infinite and nothing is alike God. So the worship of things___ persons___ animals___ and snakes is the worship of things___ persons___ animals and snakes. It can not be considered as the worship of Alone and Unseen God at all.

God should be believed as Unseen & Unimaginable. Present everywhere, at every level, but not in particular things and persons.
