    There is salvation in no other, for there is not another name under heaven having been given among men, by which it behooves us to be saved."

Is God made of photons?

God is described in the bible as light.
In it's own frame of reference, light can get anywhere instantaneously, because it experiences infinite time dilation, which could possibly explain how God can get from outside the universe to Earth quickly, and possibly explain why God's perception of time is so different to ours.
God interacts with humans, and there's a known way that photons interact with matter, but nobody knows how spiritual things interact with matter (physical things).
So it occurred to me that maybe God (and perhaps the whole of the spiritual realm) is made of photons.
Anyone want to enlighten us (oh dear! :biggrin ) with their thoughts?

God is the creator of photons! Think about that. :chin

Relic is right. God can't be made of something he made... The Bible uses human terminology to describe the spiritual, and since we have no words to describe God we are forced to use the words we do have to come close...but not really close at all. It is describing the unseen with the seen.

God creates things in His image. So things made are those things that are made OF Him, IN his image. Even the freedom of will, to think, to decide, to choose between righteousness or unrighteousness, is given as a gift FROM God to us, But all the consequences of all choices are established BY God. His Set laws of nature and of Spirit cannot be tampered with without us having to face the appropriate consequences of those SET LAWS, they are ABSOLUTE.
It is the corrupt spirit that has perverted his PERFECTION. Hence, Lucifers fall from Heaven. Corrupt things cannot be in the place of Heaven, when corruptions is manifest, corruption is purged from out of the pure.

We only discover the things OF God as God reveals them to us, in His due time.... No common man alive on this earth has ever seen the face of God, it is too much for man to handle.

The bible doesn't actually say God created photons. In fact what it does say is that God created light, which raises the question 'How can God be light?'
It's possible that he created light out of photons (or just created some more photons for what we think of as light).
 
I don't think it is saying that God is actually light... Saying that God is light is perhaps the closest we can come to describing him, but not that he is actually light itself.
