CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

God being infinite, omnipotent, and omnipresent- what does God's body look like? My guess would be that God's body looks like an infinite Universe.

Better question, if god is omniscient (knows everything past and future) then is God omnipotent enough to change his future mind?
Just a fun little mental game, of course it doesn't actually prove anything.

I agree, such pondering doesn't *prove anything* but are still at least thought provoking...

Take a look around... there surely is more to the Universe than meets the senses, but One is sensing something.

All is One... infinity and zero have similar properties... this article might shed a bit of light on the concept.

Because the lexical structure of English is inherently biased towards the male, therefore the standard pronoun for indefinite entities is 'he'.

Perhaps one should refer to God as IT. Does anyone believe God to be male, female, or an androgyny?

I've known people who believed all of those individually.
I consider god to be genderless, but use masculine pronouns in English, unless referring to a perceivedly feminine aspect.
As for the OP, God certainly could have created a universe in which your sentence would make sense.

3. Jesus said, "If your leaders say to you, 'Look, the kingdom is in the sky,' then the birds of the sky will precede you. If they say to you, 'It is in the sea,' then the fish will precede you. Rather, the kingdom is within you and it is outside you.
22. Jesus saw some babies nursing. He said to his disciples, "These nursing babies are like those who enter the kingdom."
They said to him, "Then shall we enter the kingdom as babies?"
Jesus said to them, "When you make the two into one, and when you make the inner like the outer and the outer like the inner, and the upper like the lower, and when you make male and female into a single one, so that the male will not be male nor the female be female, when you make eyes in place of an eye, a hand in place of a hand, a foot in place of a foot, an image in place of an image, then you will enter [the kingdom]."

the article is flawed. A combination is a rearrangement of the same terms.
The second and third sequences are different. As the third one includes the -n term and excludes the +n term. There's no reason why this is not the same at infinity.

Scientists generally agree that Time is a physical property of our universe, it is a creation. If a God created the universe, he is probably not bound by time himself- being timeless in existence; outside of time. If that is true, he wouldn't have a past or a "future mind" because he has already thought of it. It's not linear.

No, that's logically impossible. It's tantamount to God making true false. If he makes true false then what is false? Moreover, what is true? God can do anything that is possible--but not all things are possible.

God's mind is eternal (he knows everything presently) and immutable (cannot be changed). It is logically impossible for this to happen. See my first reply to Mysticus.
