Understanding Divine Incorporeality

Divine incorporeality asserts that God exists as an immaterial and non-physical reality, distinguishing Him from material conceptions of God found in some theological views. Traditional Christianity maintains that God, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit lack any physical form, except during the incarnation of Christ. Scriptural support for this position includes verses that discuss God's spirit nature and invisibility, emphasizing that God cannot be perceived through the five senses. This illustrates a clear distinction between the Jewish-Christian conception of God and other philosophical traditions, like the Stoics, which viewed spirit as a subtle form of matter.
