To believers (mainly), is God an organism of some sort?

Answer 1

One definition of organism: "...any complex thing or system having properties and functions determined not only by the properties and relations of its individual parts, but by the character of the whole that they compose and by the relations of the parts to the whole."

If you accept this definition, then god is not an organism, since god is not "complex" but "simple."

Answer 2

No, God is not an organism. If you can imagine it, then it is not God, the almighty. God left out the knowledge of Himself, His nature and essence, hidden to humankind. He is beyond human imagination. One person who was close to take a glimpse of God, but fainted before he could do so, was Prophet Musa or Prophet moses (A.S). God is comparable to nothing man can think of. Those who believe in Him, even if they have no clue how He looks like, will finally see Him in the Hereafter.The skeptics will forever never see God- not here in this worldly life and not in the Hereafter; they will forever stay in doubt. We can know God through His signs in this worldly life. There are so many signs in nature that point to the supreme creator, organizer and guide. One should try to know God , His love, His kindness, His mighty, through mother nature. Take , for example , man; man is a very fascinating creature; well proportioned, intelligent, knows the difference between right and wrong etc. In this fascinating creature, humanity can try to understand how high the creator of such creature is.

Answer 3

I would certainly classify God as a living being. Jesus, after his resurrection, ate and drank with his disciples, which indicates that he has a functioning body with working systems. He let people touch his hands and feet. If Jesus is God, and unless he somehow threw away his body, then God has a body and is a living organism.

A. Yusuf Ali Quran TranslationSurah Al-Ikhlaas Surah 112Mecca (22) 4 Ayahs


1 Say: He is Allah the One and Only; 6296 6297
2 Allah the Eternal Absolute; 6298
3 He begetteth not nor is He begotten; 6299
4 And there is none like unto Him. 6300
6296 The nature of Allah is here indicated to us in a few words, such as we can understand. The qualities of Allah are described in numerous places elsewhere, e.g., in lix. 22-24, lxii. 1, and ii. 255. Here we are specially taught to avoid the pitfalls into which men and nations have fallen at various times in trying to understand Allah. The first thing we have to note is that His nature is so sublime, so far beyond our limited conceptions, that the best way in which we can realise Him is to feel that He is a Personality, "He", and not a mere abstract conception of philosophy. He is near us; He cares for us; we owe our existence to Him. Secondly, He is the One and Only God, the Only One to Whom worship is due; all other things or beings that we can think of are His creatures and in no way comparable to Him. Thirdly, He is Eternal, without beginning or end, Absolute, not limited by time or place or circumstance, the Reality. Fourthly, we must not think of Him as having a son or a father, for that would be to import animal qualities into our conception of Him. Fifthly, He is not like any other person or thing that we know or can imagine: His qualities and nature are unique. (112.1)
6297 This is to negative the idea of Polytheism, a system in which people believe in gods many and lords many. Such a system is opposed to our truest and profoundest conceptions of life. For Unity in Design, Unity in the fundamental facts of existence, proclaim the Unity of the Maker. (112.1)
6298 Samad is difficult to translate by one word. I have used two, "Eternal" and "Absolute". The latter implies: (1) that absolute existence can only be predicated of Him; all other existence is temporal or conditional; (2) that He is dependent on no person or things, but all persons or things are dependent on Him, thus negativing the idea of gods and goddesses who ate and drank, wrangled and plotted, depended on the gifts of worshippers, etc. (112.2)
6299 This is to negative the Christian idea of the godhead, "the Father", "the only-begotten Son" etc. (112.3)
6300 This sums up the whole argument and warns us specially against Anthropomorphism, the tendency to conceive of Allah after our own pattern, an insidious tendency that creeps in at all times and among all peoples. (112.4)

Answer 6

Is the planet an organism?

First define organism.

~ Eric Putkonen

Answer 7

No, and Yes. Kinda getting into dimensional theory with this one, but I think God, or the Divine exists solely on the spiritual plane. The divine can effect change on the phisical plane, but it is not coporeal.

Answer 8

Well, He's a celestial being. I don't know if you would call that an organism. He's light, I guess. Nobody knows what He looks like until they get to Heaven. That's all I know.

Is this question Off The Cuff ?

Answer 10

There's no 'some' with God is no respector of persons.
With either Law God or Grace God, it's "all", not some.

By Law: ALL die, not some only: as in Adam ALL die.
By Grace: ALL live, not some: in Christ shall ALL live.

"Law worketh wrath" is destructive, not constructive.
"Grace is sufficient" is constructive, not destructive.

God our Destroyer(Law) isn't God our Saviour(Grace).
Mortal Law isn't Immortal Grace. Ignorance isn't Bliss!

God our Destroyer will have ALL lawed and ignorant.
God our Saviour will have ALL men saved and aware.

The GRACE of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.
