In order to die, something has to be corporeally alive. Do you imagine God has a body made out of cells? That he is a carbon based life form?If god is omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent, can god die?

If God can do anything, then God can die.If god is omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent, can god die?

I would argue that a creator-god can't be an unchanging god, since the act of creation involves a change in state of the creator.The entire point of some theologies is to posit a god that transcends the temporal nature of physical reality. The god of classical monotheism is one such god, so yes, the god that is omnimax (among a few other things) is eternal and unchanging by definition.
Maybe, though that's applying human logic to it, which this god obviously doesn't operate by. I see no reason to suppose that this obtuse and incomprehensible god-concept would be limited by notions such as "to cause change one must themselves be changeable." Someone else more familiar with the philosophy of the Abrahamic god could give it a better accounting than I.I would argue that a creator-god can't be an unchanging god, since the act of creation involves a change in state of the creator.

The way I see it, a creator-god would need to have at least two states ("initiating creation" and "not initiating creation")... potentially more if we decide that the god created his creation according to a design or plan, or if we decide that the god sustains his creation.I see no reason to suppose that this obtuse and incomprehensible god-concept would be limited by notions such as "to cause change one must themselves be changeable."

Omnipotent does not mean "can do anything." It means all-powerful.If God can do anything, then God can die.
It's funny how God is knowable and understandable as much as is convenient for the believer, but then also conveniently vague and mysterious when needed.
A certain degree of human logic needs to apply to a thing for us to even assign a label to it (e.g. "god"). If God is completely exempt from logic and reason, then "God" is just a sound we use in place of a word, not an actual word that conveys meaning.
When do you plan to publish your scholarship with these ideas? I don't do classical monotheism so I don't really have a care in this debate, but if you publish I might read it.The way I see it, a creator-god would need to have at least two states ("initiating creation" and "not initiating creation")... potentially more if we decide that the god created his creation according to a design or plan, or if we decide that the god sustains his creation.
God can Not die because God is 'from and to everlasting' - Psalm 90:2 ( No beginning No ending for God / death proof )If god is omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent, can god die?

Since this planet (named Earth according to God at Gen. 1:10) provides food for us then yes God sustains us.........A certain degree of human logic needs to apply to a thing for us to even assign a label to it (e.g. "god"). If God is completely exempt from logic and reason, then "God" is just a sound we use in place of a word, not an actual word that conveys meaning.

Is God omnipresent in the Bible?God is 'Not omnipresent' because God has a specific home location - see 1st Kings 8:43; Deut. 26:15
God is 'Not omnipotent' because God can Not lie -Titus 1:2; Heb. 6:18 - and God created you with free-will choices so He can not make you do anything against your will.
God is Not 'omniscient' with unbounded knowledge because God choose Not to make our choices for us.
We choose of our own free will whether to be a figurative 'sheep' or 'goat' - Matthew 25:31-34,37

Please see Psalm 22:26
As far as 'to cause change one must be changeable' seems to fit the illustration about the Potter and the clay........................ I see no reason to suppose that this obtuse and incomprehensible god-concept would be limited by notions such as "to cause change one must themselves be changeable." Someone else more familiar with the philosophy of the Abrahamic god could give it a better accounting than I.
God was never alive to begin with.If god is omniscient, omnipotent, omnipresent, can god die?

No, He never was, since God is not a living creature.God was never alive to begin with.
Definitely.No, He never was, since God is not a living creature.
And God certainly does die with the person who has one.If God can do anything, then God can die.
Psalm 113:6 'heavens' shows God's sovereign position, the realm from where He governs -Is God omnipresent in the Bible?
Does the Bible teach that God is omnipresent? Yes, as taught in Psalm 113:4-6, Psalm 139:7-10, Proverbs 15:3, Isaiah 57:15, Jeremiah 23:23-24, and Hebrews 4:13. .....................................
Once they die however, they will know that the God they conceived in their heads is real.Once they die however, this personal mental God, born and conceived in their heads, also dies with them.
