Where is God?

[Ms. Othmar]

I'm not asking in terms of any specific tragedy; rather, in general -- where do you think God is?

If you choose to answer "in Heaven," please humor me and elaborate -- where, then, is Heaven?

Everywhere.

God is everywhere.




Even in your bathroom. Even in your linen closet behind the washcloths.

Go toward the Milky Way - bear right. Follow that to the Andromeda galaxy, make a left. Signs everywhere. You can't miss it.

He's all around and more importantly - in my heart

 

[Ms. Othmar]

Excellent replies both of you!

I'll let a couple more people chime in before I respond/did deeper)

 

[Sharon]

He was in Baltimore recently. I saw the message he left on a billboard.

He was in Cleveland, too

 

[vraiblonde]

I heard he was at the Wal-Mart redeeming gift certificates but I didn't see him.

They must have traffic as bad as Baltimore city.

Keep using my name in vain,

I'll make rush hour longer.


- God

Another question might be where is God not present?

I would submit that since He is the devine and all-powerful Lord of all that He is everywhere. Our minds and our experience may make that seem improbable, but remember this: our reality is not necessarily just like that of God's reality. It's a little like asking a two-dimensional creature "Which way is up?" A two-dimensional creature would have no idea what up and down even are.

Anyway, Miz O, the serious answer to your question is that God doesn't have a physical, organic body - he's a spirit. So, just like Visa, he's everywhere you want to be.

God is omnipotent and omnipresent and He, as the Holy Spirit, lives in those that accept Jesus as Savior and Lord.

Romans 8:9-14
9However, you are not in the flesh but in the Spirit, if indeed the Spirit of God dwells in you But if anyone does not have the Spirit of Christ, he does not belong to Him.

10If Christ is in you, though the body is dead because of sin, yet the spirit is alive because of righteousness.

11But if the Spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, He who raised Christ Jesus from the dead will also give life to your mortal bodies through His Spirit who dwells in you.

12So then, brethren, we are under obligation, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh--

13for if you are living according to the flesh, you must die; but if by the Spirit you are putting to death the deeds of the body, you will live.

14For all who are being led by the Spirit of God, these are sons of God.

So not only is He everywhere in the universe, He lives in the bodies of believers.

 

[Ms. Othmar]

So not only is He everywhere in the universe, He lives in the bodies of believers.

So, is He everywhere or is He in the bodies of believers?

If both are correct, isn't that a bit repetitious?

If He is only in the bodies of believers, then He isn't everywhere, is He?

 

[Sharon]

If both are correct, isn't that a bit repetitious?

I don't think so, do you?

 

[vraiblonde]

If He is only in the bodies of believers, then He isn't everywhere, is He?

He is everywhere. If he were only in the bodies of believers, then there wouldn't be any born-agains, right?

 

[2ndAmendment]

So, is He everywhere or is He in the bodies of believers?

If both are correct, isn't that a bit repetitious?

If He is only in the bodies of believers, then He isn't everywhere, is He?

He respects free will. He will not enter into you, if you do not accept Him. That is the exception.

 

[Ms. Othmar]

Well if he is everywhere, then He is ALREADY in the bodies of believers, yes?

 

[2ndAmendment]

I stated it plainly. If you don't get it, you won't or are choosing not to. I have come to realize that you are here, not for enlightenment but for argument. Have a nice day.

 

[Toxick]

Well if he is everywhere, then He is ALREADY in the bodies of believers, yes?

You're on a roll!

Quick now: ask him if God is so omnipotent can He make a rock so heavy that He can't lift it.


Go ahead - ask him!!!

 

[vraiblonde]

Well if he is everywhere, then He is ALREADY in the bodies of believers, yes?

Obviously. If they didn't feel God was inside them, they wouldn't be believers, now would they?
