I mean I did post this in Philosophy.

Quote:So, for the first, I think that there is nothing that is not God so referring to God as "he" or any other pronoun is already applying our own limitations which do no exist.
For the second, I think that God (i.e. everything ... All That Is) is evolving which suggests that limits have not been reached. I guess that we could consider perfection as the ultimate limit but I think that is impossible.
Yeah this gets into complicated questions about who/what "God" is. I do think there is a "Limited God" but I don't know how "Limited". Is God an Awareness and merely that, does God have moral cares or is just concerned about Order, is God a loving parent but such a part of Creation He/She/It cannot just "fix" everything...
The God of Classical Theism seems like one that has had a lot of Proof of God pointing toward, with some proofs seeming like nonsense and others making me think...but this entity is so remote it seems more like a metaphysical lynchpin than what we think of as "God". Plotinus even said the "One" isn't meant to be worshiped because by [its] very nature it wasn't going to respond to our cares...
And as you say if God's body is literally creation, in a Pandeist/Pantheist/Panentheist sense it gets even more tricky.
'Historically, we may regard materialism as a system of dogma set up to combat orthodox dogma...Accordingly we find that, as ancient orthodoxies disintegrate, materialism more and more gives way to scepticism.'
