Does it make sense that God in essence, is energy?

[lightbulb27]

If there is such thing as God, God would be energy...

In other words, the view of God so many humans have had, is recognition of energy beyond their limited being.

If so, then what do you see as the nature of that energy? Rest, peace?

Yes

No

No, it doesn't make sense.

Because everything in this universe is a manifestation of energy.

And nobody knows what energy is. We only know it is there because of the effects it has.

For example mass is a manifestation of energy. Your body is not really solid, but the molecular interactions makes it look like.

But if you look inside, there is nothing.

So God being energy... okay?

[lightbulb27]

I thought the energy held us togehter...
you are saying there is something else...

[es20490446e]

Nobody really knows!

Energy is an attribute that can related to what a thing is. Energy in itself can be an independent substance that can subsist. But in relation to other things, it can not subsist substantially. It would have to be an accident inhering in that subject. And for God to be God, he would have to possess all perfections substantially. So in short, God is energy if you are talking about his simplicity. But he is every other perfection in an infinite degree.

[Agape93]

Makes more sense but it kinda kills your religion. Energy doesn't feel, love, care or do miracles.

[lightbulb27]

good challenge, not so sure about that. maybe...
"all things are possible"... with infinite energy?

[Agape93]

Nope. Even with infinite energy it doesn't create cognizance or create every form of matter. You need so much more than infinite of one form of energy, and that'd hardly worthy of even a false label of a God.

[strateguy632]

But energy got created. God is stronger but not energy in any physics ideas.

[jshm2]

God is in essence light, energy changes forms, light doesn't.

[NathanDavis]

we are all energy...
