    God can't be put in the box that He created. We will never be able to understand Him this side of heaven with our finite minds. We don't have the language or capacity to understand how awesome, majestic and wonderful He really is.

    Very interesting question. Since God is real, you can describe Him. Not that
    Our understanding of Him is totally exhausted, but there are some references to
    His attributes as revealed in the Bible. To say that we cannot describe his
    Attributes is to deny his existence.

    My understanding is that nothing existed (time, space or matter) before the Big Bang.
    God is the uncaused creator who caused/created everything else. He is self-existing,
    Everything else is caused.

    The attribute that I think is applicable to your question is omnipresence.
    God is omnipresent, His presence is everywhere fully. On the contrary He does
    Not dwell locally. He is not "up there" or "down here."

    You're right, he has no body. He is spirit and is therefore not physical and can
    Therefore not be of energy. If he exists fully, everywhere, what does that look like?

    God is conscious of and active at every point in space. That is what it means
    To be omnipresent. In other words, there is no place to which God's knowledge
    And power do not extend. His knowledge and power extend to every place.

    Bingo, you know what I'm saying veritas! Thank you for understanding. I believe that science and religion are intertwined.

    But pure unrestricted energy can do anything. A life form made has no need for a unless it is a energy parasite, a demon.

    In many cases simply look at the ancient descriptions of Spirit and it can mean a personal entity, a force or power and therefore energy.

    Such a being as God the supreme being as apposed to gods in general you have to also consider other factors. Is your idea of God based on Church concepts, or Scripture, or is it based on personal experience, or cultural influence? There are too many variables.

    if you speak from "a Church" view you must consider if say for example you believe in trinity, which Person of God are you speaking of? God the Father is considered more or less the Directive Will made of Light, which means this aspect is moving so fast by nature composed of something like photons it would essentially exist outside of the normal time stream of the rest of the universe.

    This not the same as the Third Person of Trinity which Is Spirit and then can be said as energy based and ever present and to a factor related to the manifest universe itself as a sort of Pan"en"theistic entity as more or less the World or Cosmic Soul.

    The second person as the Son has form in a "glorified body" and therefore indicates mass, and some sort of refined material body in which light is but an aspect of this such as described in the "transfiguration" of an immortal from mortal form.

    Then you have "GOD" and GODHEAD which are all the attributes, qualities and therefore powers of "God" co indwelling these Three Bodies and Personalities and their relative states and conditions of being that simply put is more or less identical with and even beyond the definition beyond void as a sort of simultaneous existence and nonexistence and therefore Absolute in being and Non-being.

    I know this does not help in many cases but to generalize "God" these things have to be considered what is God to you and then proceed from there. If God is not a trinity to you then simply put God can be whatever God will choose to be if God so chooses an we can also turn around and say every degree of possibility here and beyond belief even is an expression of this as a reality relative only to such a God but not to us making the acceptance of denial of it a moot point.

    Eye has not seen, ear has not heard, nor mind conceived, what the Lord has in store for those who love him but he has revealed it to us by his Spirit. God is spirit, how this relates to energy only God knows, but he is more than an energy being
