How?
Roman said:I hear a lot about God's (supposed) infiniteness on these forums, and am unsure as to what exactly this means.
Does God encompass all rational numbers, and if so, is there a mathematical proof for this?
I doubt that this definition of infinite is correct. Perhaps you could inform me what it means.

Omnipotent - Luke 1:37 - With God all things are possible.
Omnipresent - Psalm 139:7 - Whither shall I go from thy Spirit? Or whither shall I flee from thy presence?
dalahar said:Look at the quote by David F. that I was replying to and you will see that it would have been hard for me not to use scripture and show the places where each concept was represented. I am not sorry that you are offended by the words in the bible but if I have to quote from it again I will post a warning for you.

TruthSeeker said:No, the square is actually a cube, but it cannot relate to it because it cannot see itself from an objective point of view.
We ARE composed of four dimensions, but nobody can perceive it, nobody can relate to it...
dalahar said:"Where shall I flee from your presence?" -- I guess you can decide what that means and tell everyone exactly what it is. It is anything but what it says, huh?
God is not bound by space or time.
azizbey said:God's being infinite means he is above time and space. the problem is our mind and logic is trapped in this 3 +1 dimension which is again created by God.

Are you on something?wesmorris said:My analogy above was from flatland. In flatland, the square is but a square. One such square (maybe it was a circle) had a short experience into which he experienced what is was like to be a cube.
I said you cannot perceive it subjectively. You need to be in a very objective position, which is quite a feat...You should know that since I've been here I've been harping on about the abstract dimension, meaning and consciousness.
And you're wrong that nobody can perceive it. It's just that most people can't, nor have they really contemplated it.
Yes.Meaning is the result of separating from the tao.
Huh... I dunno. That's confusing.... :bugeye:There is no place for meaning in space-time. To space-time, meaning is exactly meaning-less. But meaning is real, or there would not be words to represent it. Thus, there is a degree of freedom in which meaning exists. I call it "the abstract" or "the internal dimension". I hypothesize that in Hawking's depictions of "imaginary time", this is where abstract space exists.
