2:23 الَّذِیۡ جَعَلَ لَکُمُ الۡاَرۡضَ فِرَاشًا وَّالسَّمَآءَ بِنَآءً ۪ وَّاَنۡزَلَ مِنَ السَّمَآءِ مَآءً فَاَخۡرَجَ بِہٖ مِنَ الثَّمَرٰتِ رِزۡقًا لَّکُمۡ ۚ فَلَا تَجۡعَلُوۡا لِلّٰہِ اَنۡدَادًا وَّاَنۡتُمۡ تَعۡلَمُوۡنَ ﴿۲۳

Water is also many Gods: right please?

"Njǫrd
The god of the sea and wind, and the riches of the sea. He was also considered the god of prosperity and wealth, and people would ask for his help when hunting and sailing. Njǫrd was the father of Freyr and Freyja, and was married to Skadi, a giantess. His name may mean "power, strength, or potency".

Ægir
The personification of the sea, and the husband of Rán, the goddess of death. His name may come from the Proto-Germanic word āgwi-jaz, which means "that of the river/water".

Rán
The goddess of death who personifies the sea, and collects the drowned in a net.

Nerthus
An earth goddess who is also associated with lakes, springs, and holy waters."

This is according to the religious text the Volsunga Saga. Völsunga saga - Wikipedia

I'm sure others have already mentioned this by now but I would tend to view water as perhaps a physical manifestation of "God's divine spirit". For many of the reasons that you and others have pointed out.

I think we could also say this about other physical aspects, as well. There have been many cultures that perceived divine expression through things like fire, water, earth and the night sky.

Is God water? Is water God?

Peace be on you.
1= According to Holy Quran, water is a creation of God.
[ch2:v23] Who made the earth a bed for you, and the heaven a roof, and caused water to come down from the clouds and therewith brought forth fruits for your sustenance. Set not up, therefore, equals to Allah, while you know.

Why did Blood and Water pour out from the body of Jesus on the cross when in the previous verse, He said He was dehydrated??

Yes, water is a creation of/by G-d for benefit of the habitants of Earth- trees, animals and human beings:
2:23
"Who made the earth a bed for you, and the heaven a roof, and caused water to come down from the clouds and therewith brought forth fruits for your sustenance. Set not up, therefore, equals to Allah, while you know ."Holy Quran: Read, Listen and Search
In metaphoric way, it represent divine revelation:
11:8
And He it is Who created the heavens and the earth in six periods, and His throne rests on water, that He might prove you to show which of you is best in conduct. And if thou say, ‘You shall surely be raised after death,’ those who disbelieve will certainly say, ‘This is nothing but clear deception.’ Holy Quran: Read, Listen and Search

Right?

I believe God is Spirit.

Very interesting read! Ancient Kemetic creation texts has a very similar beginning with references to water and a possible link to the Divine (Netjer) being water.

Here the Great God Amun Ra says:

I am the waters, unique without second. That is where I developed on the first great occasion of my floating that happened to me – out of the flood, out of the darkness, and out of isfet (chaos). I am the one who had developed – circlet in his egg. I am the one who began in Nun (Nun is the name of primeval waters who is also a God) . The flood is subtracted from me and I am the remainder. It was through my own effectiveness that I brought about my body, my Ka (life spirit), and my Ba (soul). I am the one who made me. It was as I wished, according to my heart, that I built myself.

I believe that qualifies as philosophical nonsense.

Don't mean to burst your bubble out of the gate, but first of all, water isn't a solid substance. It's a liquid substance. If it were solid, it'd be ice -- not water. Second, what you're describing in the equation of the Trinity with the three forms of water is the classic heresy called "modalism."

Since you're presenting a theological construct of "God-as-molecule," why not choose carbon, because carbon is the basis for life as we know it.

I don't believe modalism is incorrect just not accepted by people who don't reason very well. The metaphors of modalism are incorrect also. God does not change form as water does. As for actors in a play that would be three humans and the Trinity has only one human.

 

[Ben Dhyan]

Water is used as a metaphor for spirit in religious writings, for spirit cannot be physically sensed and remains a mystery for religious novices.

 

[Marina]

Ayahuasca brought me to this question. After taking it I understood that plants may have spirits and that they may be a lot wiser than animals. Could plants be god, our creator then? We need plants in order to survive - for food, for oxygen etc. But: plants need water just like us. So maybe water is god. Although I cannot see why e.g. carbon could't be god then.

One G-d/Allah says:

21:31 Do not the disbelievers see that the heavens and the earth were a closed-up mass, then We opened them out? And We made from water every living thing. Will they not then believe? Holy Quran: Read, Listen and Search

Right?
