Quiz about basic knowledge of Christianity

God is the Infinite Omnipotent Spirit (John 4:24). Among other things, this means that He is not limited by the conditions of space. Filling everything with Himself, God is both everywhere (as absolutely nowhere absent) and nowhere (as absolutely not limited by any place). Form and visible appearance are characteristic only of spatially limited beings (form is the outer boundary for the enclosed body).

The manifestations of God to the Old Testament prophets under various visible images are the results of His actions or energies. As for the Incarnate Son of God, Jesus Christ, during His earthly ministry He was not seen by people according to His divine nature, but according to His human nature.

"For explanation, let us take an example from our earthly world. We do not see the air, but we see its actions and manifestations: the movement of the air (wind) has great power that can move large ships and complex machines, we feel and know that we breathe air and cannot live without it. In the same way we do not see God, but we see His actions and manifestations, His wisdom and power everywhere in the world and feel it in ourselves. But the invisible God, because of His love for us, sometimes appeared to some righteous people in a visible way - in likenesses, or as if in reflections of Him, that is, in such a form as they could see Him, otherwise they would have perished from His majesty and glory. God said to Moses, "You cannot see My face; for no man shall see Me, and live." (Ex.33:20). If the sun blinds us with its brilliance and we cannot look at this divine creation without being blinded, much less at the God who created it. For 'God is light, and there is no darkness in him' (John.1:5), and he dwells in unapproachable light (1Tim.6:16)."
