If God is omnipresent, why do we go to church ? Why don't we sit at home and pray then going to church to pray ?

MaxInDHouse:
God did not tell anyone that he is Omnipresent it's presumption from humans, according to the Bible God only sent angels to go and gather information regarding what is happening on the earth:

“The outcry against Sodʹom and Go·morʹrah is indeed great, and their sin is very heavy. I will go down to see whether they are acting according to the outcry that has reached me. And if not, I can get to know it.” Genesis 18:25

From the above statement from God Himself it's evident that He is not present everywhere.

Thank you!

...because we are not omnipresent. We assemble to form the church. We assemble to bond. We assemble to help each other grow. We assemble to form a united front against the darkness. We assemble to combine our resources and work the works of our Father. We assemble because we know that "a three fold cord is not easily broken".

Maynman:

It also evident that your god lacks knowledge on certain things

MaxInDHouse:

OK

But we assemble at the cinema to watch spider man does that mean that spider man exists? No! All it means is that some people just gather together on Sunday sing and listen to man proselytise and go back home.


You didn’t even talk about the omnipresent nature of god. If he exists and he’s omnipresent to be everywhere at the same time. So we don’t need to gather.

MaxInDHouse:

OK

Did you understand my post? You want an argument for no reason. We are not assembling to meet God rather we are assembling for advantage of being together.

Our assembly or disassembly does not validate or invalidate the evidence for God. These two issues have nothing to do with each other. The OP wanted to know why we assemble and not a proof of whether the person in whose name we assemble exists or not.

Many assemble for many reasons. Some assemble to have orgies. Some assemble to hunt and kill innocent people. Some assemble to meditate and channel spirit beings (and I wonder why people don't attack these folks). Some assemble to engage in customary and traditional rituals (like the Oro). Some assemble to tell fables while drunk. Since the start of Christianity, faithfuls, sceptics and seekers have assembled in the name of the LORD Jesus and it is their right to do so. You can call it whatever you want but we assemble in the name of the LORD Jesus.

Best reply to give him
He's looking for someone to engage with
He has about 3 other monikers he uses to like and share his comments

If a mad man sees that no one is listening to his jokes. He laughs at it so he'll feel good...

Previously, I've seen him use the Bible teach someone that God is not omniscient but selective in his power of foreknowledge
Now, he's acting hypocrite
He just want aimless arguments

This is a very delicate topic.
Let's thread with caution.

Nothing delicate. It's plain common sense that if you love a person you go visiting Him.

So when we assemble to talk about Nigeria, Nigeria does not exist eh?

You and I and every sane person knows Nigeria exist.
But if I ask you to give me proof of existence of god or Sango, you’d only be telling me folklores and different experiences how god healed you or fed you.
So you can see the existence of Nigeria as fact, whilst god is just a hypothetical being

What do you need His Omnipresence for? Do you not already hide to steal, kill and fuc someone's wife? You are already doing what you want to do so why bother that God Saw it?
