God doesn't have a physical height because God is generally understood as a spiritual, incorporeal being, existing beyond physical dimensions, though some religious figures or interpretations offer symbolic or speculative heights, such as Jesus being average human height or some prosperity gospel preachers suggesting specific measurements, while ancient art implies immense scale.
Psalms 113:4-6 New Living Translation (NLT)
For the LORD is high above the nations; his glory is higher than the heavens. Who can be compared with the LORD our God, who is enthroned on high? He stoops to look down on heaven and on earth.
The compound name ʼĒl ʻElyōn 'God Most High' occurs in Genesis 14:18–20 as the God whose priest was Melchizedek, king of Salem. The form appears again almost immediately in verse 22, used by Abraham in an oath to the king of Sodom.
Additionally, as God does not consist of matter but spirit, He does not have a size. He is in all places at once.
God's elevation brings peace, joy, and confidence. When He lifts you up, you feel settled, secure, and aligned with His perfect will. In contrast, the enemy's attempts to elevate his plans create pressure, anxiety, and confusion.
Ancient Near Eastern cosmology
The two prominent representations of the firmament were that it was either flat and hovering over the Earth, or that it was a dome and entirely enclosed the Earth's surface. Beyond the firmament is the upper waters, above which further still is the divine abode.
The biggest unforgivable sin varies by faith, but in Christianity, it's often seen as blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, a persistent rejection of God's grace, while in Islam, the gravest unforgivable sin is shirk, or associating partners with God, if not repented. Pride is also considered a foundational, serious sin across many faiths, linked to the downfall of figures like Satan.
Charlesworth says that Jesus's face was "most likely dark brown and sun-tanned", and his stature "may have been between five feet five and five feet seven".
Unlike human strength, which is finite and limited, God's power and size are boundless. His power is evident in the creation of the universe. Genesis 1:1 states, “In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.” With mere words, God brought the entire cosmos into existence.
The Bible states that the everlasting God has no beginning or end. He existed long before we did. Since God has no beginning or end (Alpha and Omega), we cannot put an age to Him.
777 is considered the number of God (or divine perfection) in Christian and biblical traditions because it's a powerful emphasis of the number 7, symbolizing divine completeness, perfection, and holiness, often linked to the Holy Trinity (Father, Son, Holy Spirit) and representing the perfect fulfillment of God's work, contrasting with the imperfection of 666 (Beast). While not explicitly named as God's number, its symbolism stems from the pervasive use of '7' for perfection in the Bible, like creation in seven days, with 777 being a triple reinforcement of this divine attribute.
“We are each free to believe what we want and it's my view that the simplest explanation is there is no God.
He is the Lord and Creator of angels. Jesus' power and authority eclipse the power and authority of the highest angel in the same way and to the same degree that God's power and authority eclipses the power and authority of an angel. So what God is to angels, the Son is to angels.
Elon Musk's beliefs have evolved; while previously skeptical, he recently stated he believes "God is the Creator" and the universe came from "something," though he avoids strict religious labels, identifying more as a "cultural Christian" who values Christian principles for boosting happiness and birth rates, rather than subscribing to all traditional doctrines. He acknowledges a higher power but distinguishes this from a judging, moralistic deity, focusing on the creative origin of the cosmos.
He is not contained by a material body. God is a spiritual being so we can't see Him, just like we can't see the wind. Instead we observe its effect on the trees and water. In the same way, we can see what God does in our lives and around us, but just like the Bible says, “No one has ever seen God” (1 John 4:12).
So to answer the question: “What makes God so powerful?” we must simply say: “Nothing makes God powerful: God just IS powerful – that's His nature!” After all, if God needed someone else to make Him powerful, then that person would be more powerful than God; and this is impossible, since, as we have seen, no-one is ...
At this time, there is no DNA test that can identify a person, especially one that has been deceased for centuries. We're getting closer, though. Geneticists have been studying ancient bones collected from Israel and Bulgaria including alleged bones from John the Baptist.
There isn't physical evidence that can be used to prove or disprove the existence of God. This means that it wouldn't be scientific to claim that God does or doesn't exist.
The oldest manuscripts, namely the Dead Sea Scrolls text of Samuel from the late 1st century BCE, the 1st-century CE historian Josephus, and the major Septuagint manuscripts, all give Goliath's height as "four cubits and a span" (6 feet 9 inches or 2.06 metres), whereas the Masoretic Text has "six cubits and a span" (9 ...
When he died, Jesus was around 33 years old. Most scholars estimate his age by analyzing Biblical and historical accounts of him. Most agree that He was born between 6 and 4 BCE, based on the Gospel of Matthew's mention of Herod the Great, who died in 4 BCE.
June 2, 2025 – The County of Los Angeles Department of Medical Examiner (DME) determined the cause of death for 34-year-old celebrity hairstylist Jesus Guerrero, Jr. as Pneumocystis jirovecii pneumonia and disseminated Cryptococcus neoformans due to acquired immunodeficiency syndrome.
With this declaration, Alma identified for Corianton the three most abominable sins in the sight of God: (1) denying the Holy Ghost, (2) shedding innocent blood, and (3) committing sexual sin. Adultery was third to murder and the sin against the Holy Ghost as abominable sins.
In Mark 3:29 Jesus says that “whoever blasphemes against the Holy Spirit will never be forgiven; they are guilty of an eternal sin.” Matthew's account adds that even blasphemy against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but not blasphemy against the Holy Spirit (Matthew 12:31–32).
Thus, “Sin that leads to death is deliberate refusal to believe in Jesus Christ, to follow God's commands, and to love one's brothers.”2 This was the behavior of those who were seeking to deceive John's hearers (1 John 2:26). This interpretation makes the most sense within the context of the letter.
