ichuka:Amen Brother! Even with all these explanations, God is still infinitely greater than what our minds can comprehend even if God shows us everything about Himself. Till tomorrow, we shall know in part and our comprehension would be miniscule with respect to knowing about the fullness of God Phil 3:10-12: "That I may know him, and the power of his resurrection, and the fellowship of his sufferings, being made conformable to his death; If by any means I might attain to the resurrection of the dead. Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus." Shalom! |

IYANGBALI:Man was created as a Trinity just as God is a Trinity. No other creatures in the heavens or the earth is a Trinity. They are all Dualities! |

IYANGBALI:Before the creation of heaven and earth, God existed in His eternal and infinite nature. He is not confined by space or time, as He is the One who created them. To understand this more fully, let’s examine how the Bible describes His existence in various ways. 1. God Exists Beyond Creation The Bible makes it clear that God existed before the universe and is not bound by physical space. Psalm 90:2 – "Before the mountains were brought forth, or ever you had formed the earth and the world, from everlasting to everlasting you are God." Isaiah 57:15 – "For thus says the high and lofty One that inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy." These verses reveal that God is eternal and exists beyond human understanding of time and space. He inhabits eternity, not a specific location. 2. God Is Spirit (Not Limited by Space) God’s nature is spiritual, meaning He is not confined to physical dimensions. John 4:24 – "God is Spirit, and those who worship Him must worship in spirit and truth." Since places and physical locations were part of creation, God did not "reside" in a specific place before creation. Instead, He existed in His own divine, infinite being. 3. Heaven Was Created by God (It Is Not His Original "Home" ![]() Heaven, like earth, was created by God and had a beginning. Genesis 1:1 – "In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth." Since heaven itself was created, God did not dwell there before its existence. His presence is not dependent on a created place. 4. God’s Presence Fills Everything Even after creating heaven and earth, God remains limitless and cannot be contained by any space. Jeremiah 23:24 – "Do I not fill heaven and earth? declares the Lord." 1 Kings 8:27 – "Behold, heaven and the highest heaven cannot contain you." God’s presence is everywhere, transcending all space and time. He does not "live" in a particular place but rather fills and sustains all creation. |

MaxInDHouse:You are correct, however Even the Samaritan knew better! Luk 10:36: "Which now of these three, think you, was neighbor to him that fell among the thieves?" Of course, we know you are right about this because Mat 7:21-22: "Not every one that said to me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that does the will of my Father which is in heaven." "Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in your name? and in your name have cast out devils? and in your name done many wonderful works?" Have a nice day! |

TenQ:Olódo churchgoer! ![]() Jesus said RELATIVES will turn against one another because of difference in faith: Indeed, a man’s enemies will be those of his own household (family). Matthew 10:36 Regarding families in the flesh Jesus said to someone who called Mary "Jesus' mother" and his siblings "Jesus' brothers" “Look! My mother and my brothers! For whoever does the will of my Father who is in heaven, that one is my brother and sister and mother.” Matthew 12:49-50 So if you are not doing the will of my God you can only be my NEIGHBOR not my BROTHER! ![]() |

TenQ:The answer isn't built into any false unscriptural and not from God term like trinity, the answer falls more in line with what MightySparrow wrote. Which I have shared some scriptures in light to that here https://www.nairaland.com/8342531/answering-question-god-omnipresent But considering what you have written here that because God is Spirit therefore God is everywhere? Have you not made an incorrect assumption that because God is Spirit, He is the Spirit He sent everywhere? Is God confused or trying to confuse us by revealing He sent His spirit whereas if what you believe to be true is true that God sent Himself, then He should have clearly revealed that not just to the prophets who wrote but most especial to Jesus who said, our Father who art in heaven and that he goes back to the Father and he physically ascended to his right side... If you base your answer upon a lie, how can your answer be true? You make statements like, "Thus, the whole of the Universe (Physical and Spiritual) is INSIDE the Spirit of God as God the Holy Spirit is INVISIBLE" Whereas what is written in Genesis 1:2 is that the Spirit of God moved upon the waters. The trinity lie has blinded many it seems. Can you not differentiate when scripture refers to God's person and to God's presence and even the presence of God isn't manifested everywhere even though his spirit and eye is there. Acts 17:28 for it is in God that we have our life,... not outside of it, that's why in verse 29 God is not an idol made by men but He made us and is the reason we live and exist. Did you not read the verse 24 God, who made the world and everything in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands... Then your mistake of saying Jesus on earth whereas Jesus is not on earth but at the right side of God our Father. Then the mistake of you calling our Father and image of himself, whereas it is Christ Jesus who is the image of God. You speak about God raining fire from the heavens and not realize that he who was upon the earth speaking to Abram wasn't God but His representative. Or is the fire that spoke to Moses God as well? Even scripture called the fire the angel of God. Realize therefore the difference between where God is, and where his eyes and spirits are |

gohf:I don't know what you believe but obviously your comprehension of the scripture is not okay. Learning is best with ask and answering questions. Note that here I didn't talk trinity at all I will assume that you are JW until I know what you believe I will handle this with you one at a time and I hope you would be truthful in responding to my questions 1. Do you agree with the fact that God is SPIRIT ? John 4:24: "God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth." 2. Can God as a spirit be seen? Col 1:15: "Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:" 1Tim 1:17: "Now to the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honor and glory for ever and ever. Amen." 3. Can the Father be seen by men or Angels? 4. Is God Omnipresent! Jer 23:24 "Can any man hide in a concealed place where I cannot see him?” declares Jehovah. “Do I not fill the heavens and the earth?” declares Jehovah Psalm 139:7-10 "Where shall I go from your Spirit? Or where can I flee from your presence? If I ascend to heaven, you are there; if I make my bed in Sheol, behold, you are there. If I take the wings of the dawn, if I dwell in the remotest part of the sea, even there your hand will lead me, and your right hand will lay hold of me" 5. Does Jehovah fill the heavens and the earth? 7. If Jehovah fills the heavens and the earth, is he not Omnipresent? The questions are for short answers please! From what we agree with and the ones we disagree with , we can chat a path to understanding |

TenQ:Did I ask you if you knew what I believe? Since according to you, my comprehension of scripture is not okay, why are you asking me questions concerning scriptures? Did the basis of your reply not begin from your believe in the Trinity? Why then did you claim that 'you didn't talk trinity at all'? If one lies about an obvious truth should there assumptions be taken as true as well? What have you learnt from what you read? Are your questions based upon what you read? In my response did I contradict that God is spiritual? Does that which is invisible translate automatically to that which is Omnipresent? What are you trying to prove by your questions? Why could you not clearly state where the comprehension you claimed was not okay? And as you stated, ask in regard to that and learn, or did you not find fault in what you read? Are you ignoring with your mighty comprehension that answers have not already been given by the link I shared, or did you not bother reading since yesterday when you saw the message? Are you here to reaffirm you are correct by quoting that which is true from scripture to back up a lie that you believe? Is you lie not that God is Spirit therefore He is everywhere whereas scripture says He is above the heavens, while His eyes and spirit are everywhere? Did I not clearly tell you where you are wrong? Did you not read my explanations even in the link I shared about the eyes of the LORD and where the LORD himself is? Have I not given answers already to the question concerning God's omnipresence? Or is it that your comprehension is in absence of you actually reading? Can you answer any of these questions I have asked you honestly without pride or deviation? |

MaxInDHouse:When the Bible said: In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Genesis 1:1 It was referring to the planets and stars not the spiritual realm. The spiritual realm is invisible and not accessible to humans so if humans built a space ship faster than the speed of light they can never ever travel to the spiritual realm because it's no part of the visible planets and stars in the Milky Way. So there are two different places the Bible use that name for the first that is mentioned in Genesis 1:1 is "HEAVENS" and it means other planets and stars we can see in the sky the verse means: In the beginning God created the Stars and planets including our planet home EARTH. Genesis 1:1 The second is the spiritual realm where God dwells Himself with other spirit beings {John 14:2-3 compare to Job 38:7} no human can travel to this place unless such a person is given a spiritual visa according to Jesus there is no gender case there because dwellers in heaven are all the same. Luke 20:34-36 This is where God dwells before creating the planets and stars we know today as either solar system or universe! |
