What do you think God is made of?

Question

Anything that holds knowledge - the brain, a computer, a book, or whatever - has to be made of parts which encode or represent that knowledge. In the case of a brain it is interconnected neurons, for a computer it is binary switches and in a book it is ink on paper.

So a god, if such a thing existed, would have to be made of something - it would have to have parts, like a brain or a computer or a book. What are those parts? Where did they come from (anything made of parts obviously cannot be self-existent)? Who or what put them together, and how?

'Marshmallow fluff'... lol...

'Strings' is a great answer too! :-)

Taliesin: Then why call it 'God', which has so many thousands of years of baggage as a word? Find a new word.

HeavenLeigh123: Brilliant :-)

Answer 2

God is the creator of all things...including every aspect of the universe..all of it. God has no substance; or at least He didn't until He gave His only Son Jesus. God was made man, born of the Virgin Mary, who was entrusted with His life by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Jesus was given to us to be our Savior so that we had a way into heaven. If we do not recoginze Jesus as the Son of God, then we would give up the possibility of ever seeing the Spirit of God.

So God is spirit, all wisdom, all knowing, all seeing...and we are created in His image. When you see a new baby...what intelligence could have created such a wonder, but God? Think of that life when it is created...is it not the perfect way for God to give us happiness? What is greater than the gift of a newborn life? If there were no superior intellect which would create such a miracle...then we would be mere 'walking dead'...no feelings, no love....no caring...we'd just be a bunch of zombies walking around without a purpose.

Take some time and look at the earth...the oceans, lakes and rivers...the trees...the flowers...everything from seed, including our existance. Our bodies know what to do....the earth knows how to grow things...we just plant the seed. When we plant good seed, good things come to us. Look at the birds in the air...or in a nest...watch how they live and survive. What greater intelligence with a heart of pure gold could create all these things that are so beautiful? It isn't just an evolutionary process....there is more to that then meets the eye. Even for evolution of species...a greater and far superior intelligence must have done this.

Answer 3

Normally your logic would apply - IF - you were talking about corporeal things, things we are familiar with.

Consider, despite the knowledge accumulated by science thus far over the thousands of years, there is still much scientists do not know. Science has not bridged, nor will it bridge all knowledge.., as ongoing as that quest may be.

So what is God made of? God is eternal and not made. This is your first mistake in thought (am not picking on you here, just an observation) and you should have asked, what God is comprised of.

The answer is still the same. I would suppose any scientists that gives credence to the existence of the Biblical God, would have to conclude that God is comprised of exotic material of some sort. I remind you.., science has not attained a full answer all state, and it cant.

In light of these facts, it does not matter what God is comprised of. What matters is, he exists, he made all things with HIS technology whether we understand how or not.

Answer 4

What an excellent question.

I see Him as a spirit without a body like ours here, but like our souls when we cross over. There is no physical brain for any of us but we have memories, opinions, and can think and learn even on the other side.

Where did he come from? I have no idea. Maybe he always was. It boggles the mind doesn't it? Thinking about the origin of God could lead anyone to atheism. It makes no sense, I know. It is illogical, I know that too. I believe in my heart and soul that he exists, but I cannot tell you why or how.

Answer 5

Any answer to this great question, "What is God made of" has to be a guess, and imagination must be used in the reply.
The universe is not completely chaotic.
There is order, reason and purpose in the universe. It is not an accident. Mankind's feeble understanding of this omnipotent force can only call it "God". The alphabet and ten numerical numbers cannot possibly describe what "it" is made of.
This question will remain a great mystery.

Answer 6

God doesn't have hands or eyes or feet; God is a spiritual being without form or body, and He is far greater than any physical being. Sometimes the Bible speaks about God's hands or eyes, but when it does, it is using symbolic language to convey some truth about His activity: "For the eyes of the Lord range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearts are fully committed to him" (2 Chronicles 16:9).

When the Bible says God created the human race in His image, it means that God put His character or imprint on our souls or spirits. We aren't God—but we are like Him (although limited). Because of this, we have the ability to love, and to know right from wrong. Because we bear God's image, we are different from the animals, and all human life is sacred.

The tragedy is that God's image within us has been defaced and twisted by sin (although not destroyed). But Christ came to make us whole, and someday "we shall be like him, for we shall see him as he is" (1 John 3:2). In the meantime, make it your goal to grow closer to Christ and serve Him with all of your life

Answer 7

It is not necessary to anthropomorphise God.
We know for example that there is an "invisible world" of forces and energies on which our physical world depends for it's very existence but that we can not fully understand nor define.
God, if such a thing existed, would have to be unknowable, incomprehensible, inaccessible and co-eternal with creation. That is because a lower form of existence can never fully understand a higher form of existence.

Answer 8

But you're assuming that god is manifest (apart from being part of everything in existence on the physical plane) on the physical plane we call reality.
Think of it this way. If 'god' is simply a name we give to the speck that started all of this and therefore to the entirety of the universe, then we are a part of that god... There was nothing before that so everything must emanate from that, right? Taking that theory a step further says that we are the components (us and all things in existence) that bind together to form God, Allah or whatever you may like to call a divine being.

Answer 9

You asked this quite some time ago, but I'll still hope that you read my answer.

My concept of God isn't a physical one. True, to attain knowledge, a physical being must have some form of complex composition. But what if God IS knowledge? Does knowledge need to be composed of matter to attain self-realization? This is simple a pithy explanation of a very complex theory, so I'll understand if you have more questions. Feel free to message me any time.

Answer 11

The bible teaches God is spirit. Spirit is not confined to physical law but rather created it. Therefore spirit isn't subject to material laws but rather the opposite.
