Oteneaaron (Courz) doesn't have any regard for the scriptures, whenever he quotes it's to ridicule the Bible making it seem God's word is inconsistent {Matthew 4:6} so his MOTIVE is to make the one believing in the Bible feel lost!

Just study the SPEED with which he responds to posts coming from a JW: since he doesn't have any regard for the scriptures he will not even read the cited text before responding like a programned robot. His ATTITUDE is like fight to finish despite not knowing why he's doing so. Then watch out for threads that oteneaaron used to mock God's word or Christ neither Courz nor Dangig will show up to say a word yet the two accounts claimed they're Christians, and whatever oteneaaron kicks against like God's divine name which makes God's organization stands out with a unique group name Courz and Dangig will support him.

So it's the same person:
Oteneaaron
Court
Dangig! wink


Hahahahahahahaha

Is this the best you can do?

Dangig is Oteneaaron just as Courz is Oteneaaron right?

It is quite obvious that I give you literal nightmares.

You still haven't explained to us why your god Jehovah is accepting free money from a Gambling Authority in Satan's World.

Your god says gambling is a sin and sign of greed, but your god loves free money so much that he accepts money from the Norwegian Gambling Authority.

Just like your god Jehovah, you are all shameless hypocrites.

That was why I told him that You must be a very important person to him. We were just conversing and he kept mentioning you, mentioned the threads you created. And I asked myself, Wetin concern Oteneaaron for our discussion? Why is he obsessed over you? You must really be torturing him. 😂

He claims he doesn't argue with Faithless people yet he keeps mentioning and quoting them. I don't understand. 😀

In relation to the Trinity, what does Isaiah 9:6 signify?


Unto us a child is born, to us a son is given; and the government shall be upon his shoulder, and his name shall be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

Jokanem:
Is God Everywhere, Omnipresent?

God is able to see everything and to act anywhere he chooses. (Proverbs 15:3; Hebrews 4:13)

However, the Bible does not teach that God is omnipresent​—that is, present everywhere, in all things. Instead, it shows that he is a person and that he resides in a dwelling place.

God’s form:

God is a spirit person. (John 4:​24)
He is invisible to humans. (John 1:​18)

Visions of God recorded in the Bible consistently portray him as having a distinct location.

He is never depicted as existing everywhere.​—Isaiah 6:​1, 2; Revelation 4:​2, 3, 8.

God’s dwelling place:

God resides in the spirit realm, which is distinct from physical creation.

Within that realm, God has a “dwelling place in the heavens.” (1 Kings 8:​30)

The Bible mentions an occasion when spirit creatures “entered to take their station before Jehovah,” a showing that in a sense, God resides at a specific location.​—Job 1:6.

If God is not omnipresent, can he really care for me personally?

Yes. God cares deeply about individuals.

Although he lives in the spirit realm, God notices those on earth who truly want to please him, and he acts in their behalf. (1 Kings 8:​39; 2 Chronicles 16:9)

Consider how Jehovah demonstrates his concern for sincere worshippers:

When you pray:

Jehovah can hear your prayer the moment you say it.​—2 Chronicles 18:31.

When you are depressed:

“Jehovah is close to the brokenhearted; he saves those who are crushed in spirit.”​—Psalm 34:18.

When you need direction:

Jehovah “will give you insight and instruct you” by means of his Word, the Bible.​—Psalm 32:8.

Misconceptions about omnipresence

1) Misconception: God is present everywhere in creation.

Fact:
God dwells neither on the earth nor elsewhere in the physical universe. (1 Kings 8:​27)

It is true that the stars and other creative works “are declaring the glory of God.” (Psalm 19:1)

However, God does not inhabit his creation any more than an artist lives in his painting.

Still, a painting can tell us something about the artist who made it.

Similarly, the visible world tells us about the Creator’s “invisible qualities,” such as his power, wisdom, and love.​—Romans 1:​20.

2) Misconception: God must be omnipresent in order to know all things and be all-powerful.

Fact:
God’s holy spirit, or active force, is God’s power in action. Through his holy spirit, God can perceive and do anything, anywhere, at any time, without being present in person.​—Psalm 139:7.

3) Misconception: Psalm 139:8 teaches that God is omnipresent by saying: “If I were to ascend to heaven, you would be there, and if I were to make my bed in the Grave, look! you would be there.”

Fact:
This scripture is not talking about God’s location. It poetically teaches that no place is too remote for God to act in our behalf.

Dangig:

This is not exposure. Prove that Oteneaaron Courzs and me are the same person. From your logic, anyone who talks about JWs are the same person. Why didn't you call other monikers that talk about you JWs as well? And by the way, why are you accusing Oteneaaron of being me and Cours? Where did that come from?

Intelligence!

Others do appear on other threads expressing their faith in Jesus but these three accounts (oteneaaron/ Courz/ Dangig) only come out asking the same question about JWs.
None of these three accounts preach or teach anything about Jesus Christ all you do is argue about JWs.
So even if you create one hundred accounts on this forum your attitude will expose you! wink

The God I worship is Almighty God, full of immense, unmatchable wisdom and knowledge that the Psalmist says he cannot comprehend. The same God the Psalmist described in these verses below. You don't worship him. You worship a different god who is not all powerful, not All Knowing and also who is not everywhere. It is too bad your god isn't that powerful. I understand you have a very low understanding of spiritual matters because your Watchtower leaders have admitted they are not inspired by the Holy Spirit. So, I am not surprised that you can't understand the simple words of the Psalmist.

Compare the above with their song based on Psalms 139 cheesy grin grin grin

Therefore, you disagree with the Psalmist. You do not worship his God.


They will deny their teachings and what is contained in their publications to save their face and head sometimes. They know most of their members take every explanation Hook line and sinker. Take a look at the below image and the explanation that follows....


The title states..... Is God Everywhere, Omnipresent?

The response....... God is able to see everything and to act anywhere he chooses.

Then they cited Proverbs 15:3 states...... The eyes of Jehovah are everywhere,Watching both the bad and the good.

The key is eyes of Jehovah not of another personality are everywhere grin grin grin grin

They went ahead to bring in location by stating further......

The Bible mentions an occasion when spirit creatures “entered to take their station before Jehovah,” a showing that in a sense, God resides at a specific location.​—Job 1:6.

The key word here is showing that in a sense

According to Collins dictionary........

Definition of 'in a sense'

in a sense....... PHRASE


Sense is used in several expressions to indicate how true your statement is. For example, if you say that something is true in a sense, you mean that it is partly true, or true in one way. If you say that something is true in a general sense, you mean that it is true in a general way.

They went ahead to ask this question below......


If God is not omnipresent, can he really care for me personally?

The keyword here is IF. Why are they still using if since they indeed or are trying to show that God is not omnipresent? Why the IF?

They can just write the question like this...........

Since God is not omnipresent, can he really care for me personally? grin grin grin


When you tell the members their beliefs are based on assumptions, speculations and suppositions. They will think you don't know what you are saying. These and many more they carry all over the place and brag that all other Christians are false Christians when they are not even sure of their beliefs grin grin grin grin

They asked is God(Jehovah) everywhere?

They responded using Proverbs 15:3

The eyes of Jehovah are everywhere,Watching both the bad and the good.

Me I am just looking at the last line of that Song No 5 in their song book ...... There is no place grin grin grin


They asked....... How far-reaching is God’s spirit?​—Psalm 139:7-10.

You only need to ask them......

Is God a spirit?

Their response will be....... Yes

Then asks them their own question on how far reaching is God's Spirit?

I am tempted to see their response grin grin grin grin

This is a very good question to ask. God is a Spirit. God's Spirit is far reaching. This is self explanatory and already destroys their doctrine. Their doctrines are very easy to debunk. 😂

JEHOVAH our God is not omnipresent!

His conversation with Abraham in the Bible book of Genesis 18:20-21 is evidence of this fact!

Baby Christian, The dude up there just informed me that you love to accuse people of having more than one monikers so that you can escape when someone is drilling you to expose your Hypocrisy and low knowledge of the Bible. Pot calling Kettle black who also isn't worshipping the God of the Psalmist , What are you doing with these monikers below?

MaxInDHouse

Maximus692

AkinwaleJjj.

Why are four fingers pointing at you as you point to another person? Haven't I warned you that Jesus detests Hypocrites?

mad max opened the maximus692 account to use whenever he is banned
from his maxindhouse acount for breaking rules (lawlessness)

Mat 13:40  So just as the tares are gathered up and burned with fire, so shall it be at the end of the age. 
Mat 13:41  The Son of Man will send forth His angels, and they will gather out of His kingdom all stumbling blocks, and those who commit lawlessness

just as tares are sown among the wheat, so are false jw's and other sects sown among Christians
the devil has done that:

Mat 13:39  and the enemy who sowed them is the devil, and the harvest is the end of the age; and the reapers are angels.

Christians have been around for 2000 years
the devil has infiltrated so called jehovah's witnesses 100 years ago
