Is the Christian God everywhere, or is he in a flesh and blood body? Is there any scriptures that say what he is?

God is apparently unfathomable, unknowable, immaterial, indescribable... and we should all devote our lives to it!
What a GREAT idea!!

God is omnipotent and omnipresent. He is in everything and everyone. The Bible (Genesis) states human beings are made in His image and likeness so God is also you. So He is a spirit, a thought, a feeling, as well as a flower, a tree, a person....
Everyone will have their own interpretation or belief regarding this matter (as you can see by the differing responses). It's what you believe God to be and that will be YOUR truth.

That question has never been answered accurately and will not be until God decides to let us know... As God is The Creator of this universe and all that is in it, and of time and space as we perceive them, then he must be outside of this universe. Yet, He is capable of interacting with His creation. He knows what is going on with His people and communicates, in various ways, with them.... So... there could well be some basis for saying He is also The Force.... I know for absolute fact that God is real. I know what He has done for me... not all but some of it... and I know what He has communicated to me... I just do not know how He dose it. It is a puzzlement for sure... but not something that one should worry about...

GOD is omnipotent . HE is not of our dimension and can move thru time and space . HE is perfect & unseen . No one may see GOD lest he lose his/her sight . Yuh gotta figure that this is a POWER beyond mortal comprehension . Don't believe anyone of this earth that claims to have seen GOD . The son of GOD was living flesh .

I BELIEVE God is everywhere and God is a spirit...a soul! (just like every one of us except we are limited because of our flesh and blood.)

I'm not a christian...my view of diety's vary a bit from the christian's perception of "god".

I don't believe we mere humans can fathom what God is... but certainly not a "flesh and blood body".

he's a supreme being. once upon a time he was flesh and blood and that ended at crucifiction. the new testament is pretty much proof of that.

The God of our biblical tradition is an ethnical spiritual and material God residing in yonder Paradise and belonging to a tribe, to a nation, to a specific predilected race or society of humans here on this Earth that insists on having been created in God's own image. God is reported to bluntly prefer some human beings and their lifestyle. Therefore He may live with them and not with others, or for what we may know or experience He might even bluntly prefer a stiff hierarchy of humans where some of them by His grace are predilected and so better than others, even better than all the others who by definition are the ignorant of God or the Infidels. Others may need to be converted, forced to become converted, or expelled, or even be exterminated if they are too recalcitrant.
GOD may live here in a Church or in a Temple where He is a guest unto a powerful Church-leader who is declared to be His holy representative here on this Earth, and so also He may live anywhere everywhere on Earth, outside of Earth, beyond and above Earth ... and so on, in the Universe and beyond and above and yonder and so on, and also above and beyond all possible and impossible superstitions and all possible and impossible imaginations, as GOD is all-mysterious, omnipresent, almighty and so on.
I once liked to think that God simply is the primal heavenly father-sower of all life, in, above, and beyond and yonder all existing, past, and possible, and for us impossible life, and so on and on.
We human beings are a blunt, superstitious, ferocious short-sighted nano-something in a transition of which we don't know much about. There is some sort of transcendental meaning in all this that is not up to us to fetch nor to grasp. Not yet. Maybe never ever in our present level of life and development.
The God who was contrived in the image of murderous tribal inbred sectarian people is somehow also a raging roaring ever mysterious Beast and you better not name God's name in vain if you don't want to risk that He being gripped by utmost holy rage might strike you prematurely so consigning your damned soul unto the scorching hands of His ferocious son, hell's king Satan, thereby depriving the World of an impudent imprudent character who dared to too openly be interested in God's qualities and maybe also to pray for God's interest, favors and predilection.

Not that I know of. But I will find out. I think the closest clue we have is that man is made in the image of God.
