Can God bleed?

[Wootah]

If a spirit being can inhabit a physical body can it be said that when the body bleeds the spirit bleeds?

When my body is cut - am I bleeding?

Can an angel appear in a body with flesh and blood?

What is your view and why can or can't God occupy a human body and if it is cut that it should bleed and if the body should die can't we say the body God was in died?

Are we fully material or soul and body?

Lots of questions.

Are we fully material or soul and body?

Lots of questions.

• A soul is simply a living breathing human or animal.

• A body is the form of an object, person (individual) or organism.

• Humans are entirely material beings animated by a life force.

Irrelevant, really (though it may not be ) and perhaps another trifurcation like Lord, Liar or lunatic.

There are other options like there is no separate life force (Aka 'soul' from God, living after the body dies and proving a particular religion) any more than when a battery dies or a light bulb runs out, the electricity and light does not continue; it stops. Or maybe that was covered by A and B.

But that does seem to be getting away from the more relevant point whether a god can bleed. A pure spirit can't. Not in any reason. A god made manifest presumably can. Jesus needed to eat, or like Data, pretended to for no good reason. And one could expect a clip round the ear from your teacher in the religion class if you asked whether Jesus needed to pee.

The idea is that a god that makes themselves into human form could make themselves
A non human with no human limitations
B a human form with limitations (needing to eat, sleep and go to the washroom) but having divine powers like when Jesus was about to be tossed off a cliff but miraculously (in Luke's dubious adaptation of the rejection at Nazareth) froze the action and walked away from it
C the divine spirit was occupying a very human body with human limitations, and the human element absoluitely was able to bleed but the spirit in it wasn't even corporeal and did not bleed.

With other gods, e,g Greek or Hindu gods, they can be harmed, even if, like Shiva, they don't die from poison, but turn blue from the effects, so you can tell from all the other identical - looking gods. But here we are in la -la land, of human mythology, just like Jesus being hungry when entering Jerusalem, being created divine before birth and...most of the rest of the Book.
