Does god eat?

Answer 1

who really cares!!!

Answer 2

Yes.
God does everything.
God created, and is a part of, all things, including all the inherent processes of eating.
God tastes, chews, digests, respires and excretes.
God eats food.
As well as this truism about the being that created all things and that remains in them, by the same token, God also does not eat, having created, and remained a part of, all the phenomena of the absence of eating there are in the universe. Like hanging on a curtain rail.
This is not, surely, to limit God to being a curtain.

Anyway, God is not the god of eating, but of everything, so to say God eats is not the whole story, just a truth within it.

Now where is my crouton iron?

Answer 3

In this Scripture God sort of humorously points out that even if He WERE hungry, what in the world could any of us do about it anyway?

Psalm 50:12-15
12 If I were hungry I would not tell you,
for the world is mine, and all that is in it.

(He goes on to rebuke the people for thinking He was a god that needed material things from men)

13 Do I eat the flesh of bulls
or drink the blood of goats?

(He then describes what He's looking for , that is, Worship)

14 Sacrifice thank offerings to God,
fulfill your vows to the Most High,

15 and call upon me in the day of trouble;
I will deliver you, and you will honor me."

Answer 4

The idea is that God is something above humanity, so would probably be above human needs such as eating.

On the other hand, He might also be more human than we tend to think of Him, so he might need to eat or just enjoy it.

But I'm an agnostic with very little background in theology so I can't give a very good answer.

Answer 5

The only way we can think of god is in terms of people. The word anthropomorphic means we attribute human terms to objects or to god. Thus god becomes the "man upstairs." But god is certainly not a man/woman and not human, if god exists at all. Thus god does not eat.

If you look at all the things we know that we do not understand, string theory, subatomic particles, black holes, we certainly do not understand god. Whew ... glad that is over.

Answer 6

No. Bodiless beings don't eat, especially God. He was the first. He came before all things. He manifested Himself and established Himself when there was nothing. No one existed prior to Him to prepare Him food. Therefore God has never and will never eat because He has never and will never need anything. He who came before all things lacks in nothing. He who created all things lacks in nothing. He can't need. He can't feel hunger because he can't need food or anything. He's God. Why would God need if He is God? If God needed anything then wouldn't He not be God?

Answer 7

With God, all things are possible if he wills it. Read on please, though.

In the mainstream Western tradition, influenced by Classical Greek philosophy as well as Christianity, God is conceived as ‘being itself’ or ‘pure actuality’ (St Thomas Aquinas), in whom there is no unactualized potentiality or becoming; as absolute, infinite, eternal, immutable, incomprehensible (i.e. unable to be comprehended by human thought), all-powerful (omnipotent), all-wise (omniscient), all-good (omnibenevolent), and everywhere present (omnipresent). He is also said to be impassible, or incapable of suffering.

In the Judaeo-Christian tradition, God, though transcendent and invisible, is believed to have revealed himself in history through the life and response of the people of Israel, and, in the Christian tradition, supremely and finally, by the majority of Christians, God is believed to have lived on earth in the flesh as Jesus, in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus of Nazareth, the Christ, all as testified to in the scriptures of the Old and New Testaments. The conviction that Jesus stood in a unique relation to God led to the development in Christian thought of the Trinitarian understanding, whereby the one God is confessed as three persons (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit) of one substance.

Answer 8

No. he doesn't have to. If food wasn't created until the garden of Eden, then he would have starved by then. This can only mean that God does not need to eat.

Answer 9

Zeus and his Olympian gods eat nectar and drink ambrosia. Odin and his Aesir drink mead and eat roast meat.

Answer 10

God is not a human. He has no needs like us.

Answer 11
