Is God the indivisible particule of substance?

Answer 1

Christians say that God is omnipresent, and also agree that God can manifest himself in special ways if He chooses. Christians believe that the life of Jesus as a man on Earth is an Incarnation: a time during which God manifested Himself as a man. That does not prevent him from being omnipresent, but only says that He was present in a different way in the person of Jesus. We have an example of this kind of thing in science. Experiments showed that subatomic particles sometimes behaved as an energy wave, and sometimes behaved as a solid particle. is very counterintuitive: how can something be both solid and yet fluid, matter and yet energy, unchanging in form and yet conforming to its medium? Science as far as I know don't really know. There are equations to describe it, but we can't form an intuitive perception of something that is simultaneously particle and wave. We perceive waves and particles as separate, but through our experiments we have come to know that there is a substance that is neither what we perceive to be particulate, nor what we perceive to be a wave, but somehow appears to be like both.


When we perceive an electron as a particle, does that take away its duality? Of course not. And when we perceive it to be a wave, that doesn't take away its duality, either. An electron is one thing, one type of substance. Therefore, even though we can't help but think about electrons in terms of "particles" and "waves", an electron just is what it is, and is only one thing.

Relating this back to God: The use of the word "person" generally identifies the fact that we are in a relation to another living entity, and therefore the use of the phrase "three Persons" identifies the fact that when we relate to God, we are relating to three living entities, each of Whom would be independently identifiable as a "Person". But that is our limitation, not His. God is What He is, as He told Moses; and even though the Incarnation has made it impossible to think of Him without thinking of three Persons, our perception of these three Persons cannot change God's essential unity.

So what I guess I'm saying, the answer is yes and no. lol
