When you use the word "energy" in relation to God or a God concept, is it a metaphor for something else?

Could you explain more? Maybe it's just me, but I'm not sure what you're asking.

Both. I use the term quite literally, as one might call the the quantum sea of infinite possibilities "energy." The Urantia Book puts it this way: "Viewed as an unspiritual phenomenon, God is energy. This declaration of physical fact is the primal cause of the universal physical phenomena of all space. From this divine activity all physical energy and other material manifestations are derived." I happen to agree, but God is also spirit--purposive energy.

Well, when you hear the phrase, "God is energy..." which of these applications of the word might be meant: energy?

Okay, that would be non-literal.

I guess I would say this definition would be the closest to what I think of. I do think it's partly a metaphor, but to a certain extent can be taken literally.
