Does omnipresent mean God is everywhere?

Answer 1

Just like there is air everywhere, there is God everywhere. Can you deny that there is air everywhere? We can't see it. But how do you blow a balloon? You blow a balloon from the air that is everywhere. When you deflate the balloon, the air merges with the air that is everywhere. God is a power, God is the power of the Divine Soul and that power is everywhere. You can see that power in the sun, the moon, the stars, the birds, the animals, and the flowers. Unfortunately, we are blind, we are spiritually blind. One percent of the world is visually blind, ninety nine percent is spiritually blind. Therefore, we can't see God everywhere. God cannot be seen, God has to be realized. When we realize that God is the cause, and everything else is an effect, everything else is a manifestation of God, then we will realize God is everywhere.

Answer 2

Yes. I have heard "If god is everywhere, why do many people not find him?" The answer is you are looking way too hard. Although I was not confident enough to admit I was looking for god, I was. I just couldn't accept Christianity, Judaism, Islam, nor any other worldly religion. And it took me until I turned almost 30 years old. I did not find god by looking in a book, or to the sky, or in church. This can be a painful an hopeless never ending search, as it may have very well ended up being for me had I not came into "understanding". But then it hit me, it was so obvious once I realized that god is everywhere. That everywhere I looked, I was looking for the wrong thing, because for 29 years of my life, I was given a model image of god from society and I based my search on that info alone. I had to lose my grip on reality for a minute and forget everything I was ever taught. Then it was crystal clear. God had been with me the whole time. He is a part of me, or rather, I am a part of him, as is everything you see around you. When I look at the way water flows, when I look at a tree, or the way atoms bond together to form molecules. The way music sounds. The way light travels. Every single detail of this existence we live in everyday, every person inside it, every atom, every form of energy, the conscious mind. Life. Me. You. Thought. It's all god. Every last thing in existence. This became my "Red Pill" if you will. This is my account of waking up where you can never go back to sleep. Why would you want to? This is a very hard concept to grasp at the right level, as I have heard this same description of god plenty of times, but it's not this definition that changed the whole game, it was the understanding, and with this understanding, I now know that anything is possible, but this is on such another level it's almost impossible to describe because our languages were not designed to describe in words the things this knowledge has presented me with, or better yet, the understanding. I won't blow the whole thing wide open for you, because it's a lot to take in, and I think if all of this understanding had hit me at once, I would not be surprised if I went insane, or dropped dead on the spot. Yea, it's that big. Universal knowledge (something I think was described by Edgar Cayce) is now an unlimited possibility. There are no sins, and you are not born into sin, for this is impossible. There is right and wrong, but you don't need to be told, for you already know. There is a reason you didn't want to do that thing you now feel guilty for. Along with every conscious decision you make, if it is necessary, you will have an intuition, a conscious, a gut feeling, the voice inside that tells you yes or no. The voice that says "If you do that you will hurt someone dearly" or "Maybe you should go help them, they look like they are having trouble". It's not always easy to listen to voice, and we feel guilt when we don't. There is a reason. Because we, just like god, are part of everything. That person you hate, the one you despise, is no different than yourself, as a matter of fact they are more than just another person, more than a brother, you are the same. The same entity. Religion has taught us the exact opposite. Division, that we are different, that we are sinners. That some of us are not gods people, and look at how many people that view has murdered in the last thousands of years alone. It is outright wrong. God would never order you to kill another person for any reason. And most of the religions operate that way. Look at the crusades. Now look at the radical Islams view of Christians. They want to get revenge. They want payback. They believe it is their gods will. It's not. It is never in gods will for one of his creations, or a part of him, to go and purposely destroy the other. It's impossible. God's will is nature. God's will is just existence. It's hard to grasp most of these concepts in the society we have created. It's almost made impossible, and that is why it is so hard for so many to find god. You don't have to find god. God never left. God will never leave. It's impossible. God cannot separate from anything or anyone. The reason all of this exists is because it is all god. The infinite mass that is our universe. From every star in every galaxy, every planet, every element, every compound, every atom, every subatomic particle. Not a thing can exist that is not made of god itself, because god is everywhere. I don't really expect this to help anyone, because if I had read this one year ago, it would not have made any sense to me, well it would have, but I still would have been unable to truly have the "Understanding". If you are unsatisfied, then there are several worldly and religious descriptions below. I went through quite a few before I arrived to my understanding, I have no doubt in my mind that you will too, except, I will not force you to believe, I will not call you a blasphemer, I will not tell you I am right, the the only right, and that you will go to hell if you don't believe in "my god". God would never create a place of eternal pain and suffering for his people. It's impossible. God has no desire to punish his creations "basically punishing himself" for any reason. And as for heaven, I really wanted to leave that out, but I could not bring my self to do it. Heaven you say? Your in it baby. Don't you realize? Think of everyone you know, your family, your experiences, if you make music like I do, just listen to the way it sounds, if you don't, listen to your favorite song for the radio. Can you not feel it? Yea we all endure pain in our lives, but honestly, what could be better than everything we already have? Guess my view on that is a product of my understanding. I am always open to talk or here fellow insights email me breaks1200 at live dot com. Until then, remember that it is with us always. You know what love feels like? There is your answer.

Another view

If God is everywhere, He is in the toilet, He is in our stomach. And we will not go to church because He is beside us.

The Bible says that the eyes of God are everywhere.

(Proverbs 15:3) "The eyes of the LORD are in every place, beholding the evil and the good."

If God is everywhere, as other religions claim, the Bible should not have said that the eyes of the Lord are in every place. It will contradict the law of logic. Does it mean that the eyes of God, His very eyes, are everywhere? Of course, not! His eyes are in His being; but can see even beyond the material universe we know.

God is in heaven, according to the prayer taught by our Lord Jesus Christ to the disciples.

(Matthew 6:9-13) "Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen."

God is not in a place where there are evil strife and envy.

(James 3:16, 15) "For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work."

He is not where confusion dwells.

(1 Corinthians 14:33) "For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints."

God is the god of peace so He is not in the world because the god of the world is Satan (2Corinthians4:4).

It is an insult to God for anybody to say that He is everywhere. The disrespectful are trying to drag God to every place they want Him to be: In the casinos? The prostitution dens? In the place of demons? God forbids! This is the teaching of the misled, the blinded, and the wicked.

(Acts 17:24) "God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwells not in temples made with hands…"

Another Answer -

Yes; and then some!

Jeremiah 23:24:

24Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? saith the LORD. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the LORD.

Psalm 139:5-10

5Thou hast beset me behind and before, and laid thine hand upon me.

6Such knowledge is too wonderful for me; it is high, I cannot attain unto it.

7Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?

8If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.

9If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;

10Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.

Acts 17:25-29 - "25Neither is worshiped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he gives to all life, and breath, and all things;

26And hath made of one blood all nations of men for to dwell on all the face of the earth, and hath determined the times before appointed, and the bounds of their habitation;

27That they should seek the Lord, if haply they might feel after him, and find him, though he be not far from every one of us:

28For in him we live, and move, and have our being; as certain also of your own poets have said, For we are also his offspring.

29Forasmuch then as we are the offspring of God, we ought not to think that the Godhead is like unto gold, or silver, or stone, graven by art and man's device."

Matthew 18:20 - "20For where two or three are gathered together in my name, there am I in the midst of them."

Answer 3

People of faith say "Yes", atheists say "No" and Logic says "No."

Atheists do not believe in any god and so the question "Does God exist everywhere?" is irrelevant.

Atheists do not believe in a god or entity, they use facts and logic to work out what

is real, and what is not, how they thought of the belief, or rather non belief is that

if a god created somthing that contains all things, then(a)Where was all the matter in

the first place?(b)if something exists it is part of the universe.

People of faith hold that the Universe was created by God; fundamentalist Jews, Christians and Muslims say that God made the Universe just as it is whilst others (e.g. Catholics, Orthodox, Anglicans, most Protestants and non-fundamentalist Jews and Muslims) say that God started the process in the Big Bang and continues to create the Universe through the laws of science.

Regardless of how people of faih view the creation of the Universe, they all believe that (a) the Universe is an expression of God and thus reflects God in some way (b) although the Universe reflects God, it does not contain God because God is spirit. In other words, God is present everywhere because He is not limited by time and space.

Answer 4

God, being an omnipotent and omniscient supernatural being, can easily be in several locations at once if he desires.

More specifically, the Abrahamic religions all use an abstract God that explicitly avoids using a physical form so that you wouldn't be worshipping a symbol rather than God himself.

Answer 5

yes _______________________________________________________________________

Gods are the symbol of goodwill, peace, nonviolence and many others. This means they don't quarrel and if God is omnipresent then there would have been no dispute among any of the living things.

Answer 6

A:

Omnipresent means 'present everywhere' and can apply to any substance or idea that is everywhere present, but is most commonly used in reference to God as an explanation for the belief that he knows every prayer and every action.

Answer 7

According to tradition, the answer is Yes. There are tens of proofs for God's existence. These have been recorded for centuries and are easy to look up. However, this subject ultimately becomes one of personal belief, since our possession of free-will mandates that it be possible to put forth arguments (fallacious or not) against every one of the proofs.
Here are a few.
1) Teleological Argument: The universe has definite design, order, and arrangement which cannot be sufficiently explained outside a theistic worldview. (This is how Abraham, without benefit of teachers, came to reject the chaotic world-view of idolatry and the possibility of Atheism.)From the complexities of the human eye to the order and arrangement of cosmology, the voice of God is heard. God's existence is the best explanation for such design. God is the designer.Is there evidence against Evolution

2) Anthropic Principle: The laws of the universe seem to have been set in such a way that stars, planets and life can exist. Many constants of nature appear to be finely tuned for this, and the odds against this happening by chance are astronomical.

3) Sensus divinitatus: The innate sense of the divine exists within all people. People and cultures of all time have, by instinct, sensed a need to worship something greater than themselves. No ancient societyever existed that did not believe in a supernatural power.

4) Tradition: There are events in human history which cannot be explained without God. Many people have their subjective stories that bend them in the direction of theism, but there are also historical events such as the Giving of the Torah to over two million people at Mount Sinai, which are underpinnings for the belief in God.

5) Pascal's Wager: Belief in God is the most rational choice due to the consequences of being wrong. If one were to believe in God and be wrong, there would be no consequences. However, if one were to deny God and be wrong, the consequences are eternally tragic. Therefore, the most rational choice is not agnosticism or atheism, but belief in God.

6) Logic. Why is there reality rather than nothing? Aside from God's creating it, there are only five options:
a) The universe is eternal and everything has always existed.
- Even atheists have abandoned this possibility, especially because it would violate the Second Law of Thermodynamics.

b) Nothing exists and all is an illusion. There is no reality; there is only nothing.
- This possibility, it should be obvious, is completely self-defeating. In order to even make such a proposition, the subject has to exist in some sense. If all is an illusion, where did the illusion come from? Even the solipsist, who does not believe in the existence of other minds, has to explain the genesis of his own mind.

c) The universe created itself. This is the idea that the universe and all that is in it did not have its origin in something outside itself, but from within.
- Like with the previous two, this makes a logical absurdity. It would be like creating a square triangle. It's impossible. A triangle by definition cannot be square. So creation cannot create itself as it would have to pre-date itself in order to create.

d) Chance created the universe. The odds of winning the lottery are not very good; but given eons of time, everyone will win. While the odds of the universe spontaneously appearing are not minuscule, could it happen, given enough time?

- This option is a dishonest sleight of hand that, like "survival of the fittest," amounts to nothing, because it implies that "chance" itself has quantitative causal power.
The word "chance" refers to possibilities. It does not have the power to cause those possibilities. It is nonsense to speak of chance being an agent of creation, since chance is not a force. "What are the real chances of the universe being created by chance? Impossible. Chance is incapable of creating a single molecule, let alone an entire universe. Why not? Chance is no thing. It is not an entity. It has no being, no power, no force. It can effect nothing because it has no causal power within it. It is a word which describes mathematical possibilities which, by the curious flip of the fallacy of ambiguity, slips into the discussion as if it were a real entity with real power, the power of creativity." (R.C. Sproul, Not a Chance. Grand Rapids, MI: Baker, 1999.)

e) The universe is created by nothing. Simply put, nothing created the universe.
- The problem here is that it is either a repetition of option "a" (the universe is eternal) or fails due to the irrationality of "d." In our current universe, the law of cause and effect cannot be denied by sane people. While we often don't know what the cause of some effect is, this does not mean that there was no cause. When we go to the doctor looking for an explanation for the cause of our neck pain, we don't accept the answer "There is no cause. It came from nothing."

Now, the other side of the Question: why might people notbelieve in God?

1) Peer influence. In high school, for example, the one or two religious believers in a class may be subject to ridicule.

2) Convenience; desires. No one wants "bothersome" rules, or limitations to their personal pleasure. We see how lack of self-discipline has led to epidemic obesity, drunkenness, divorce rates, violence etc.

3) Lack of proper information. People have inaccurate notions about God, religion and belief. They've picked up tidbits, jokes, and "sound-bites," and on such solid authority they dismiss the entire topic.

4) Unfortunate experiences. Many have had personal hardships, or a harsh religious upbringing or education, and as a consequence may retain an unhappy feeling towards belief, without realizing that emotions and proofs are two different things.

5) Many think that science, and specifically Evolution, have proved that there is no God. They don't comprehend that even if Evolution was an unquestionable fact, it would not automatically follow that God isn't there. They also seem unaware that there are a significant number of highly-qualified scientists who do not believe in Evolution.

6) Intellectual laziness. Many people have simply never delved into the subject, to see if God's existence can be convincingly demonstrated.

7) Stereotyping. People call us "religious nuts," "Bible-thumpers," etc.; so the average layperson may get a negative feeling toward all belief, not realizing that he/she should first look into the existence of God in principle, before necessarily looking into religion.
