CORPOREITY, the state of having a body, or of being embodied; materiality. The corporeity of God was the capital error of the Anthropomorphites. Some authors have charged Tertullian with maintaining the corporeity of the Deity; but in the works of that author the term body seems to be synonymous with substance. The Mohammedans re-proach the Samaritans at this day with a belief in the corporeity of God.
