The God of theism could not be physical. If he was physical he would be limited in space and time. It is possible for him to choose to be physical and limit himself for a time like he did in the incarnation of Jesus. His natural state could not be physical or he would not be God.
Theses are my homework questions. Next semester I will have a tutor to help me think through and elaborate on questions but for this term I'm on my own so I'm trying to get some tutoring through this method. Date published 06-Sep-2008
Sorry I shouldn't post so quickly, then I wouldn't end up needing to make a new post for each find lol!
I just found something that might be useful, someone on a forum says that the bible teaches that we are all physical manifestations of God, they included quotes:
"They have not known, and they do not understand; In darkness they keep walking about; All the foundations of the earth are made to totter. I myself have said, 'You are gods, And all of you are sons of the Most High." - Psalms 82:5
“Do you not know that you people are God's temple, and that the spirit of God dwells in you? If anyone destroys the temple of God, God will destroy him; for the temple of God is holy, which temple you people are."
"Jesus Christ himself is the foundation cornerstone. In union with him the whole building, being harmoniously joined together, is growing into a holy temple for God. In union with him you, too, are being built up together into a place for God to inhabit by spirit."
1Corinthians 3.16 + Ephesians 2:20

It's a good idea! Hopefully us missioners can help get you thinking about it all, so that you have a lot to discuss with your tutor when you get to meet :) Date published 06-Sep-2008
I don't know if this will help, but I thought it was quite an interesting essay! http://www.infidels.org/library/modern/tom_wanchick/critique_vuletic.html Date published 10-Sep-2008
Student at Mount Saint Vincent University taking Religion & Reason as a Religious Studies credit. I have never taken Philosophy before and only learned what Philosophy was in August.

Tough questions that you're putting up! Are these the homework questions you mentioned in another mission?

If God created everything, then all physical things are a part of God. Therefore it can be argued that God is physical.
Is that any help?
