😂😂😂.....baba don run
When God's word makes things clear yet someone wants to argue because of his credulous preconceived opinion what do you expect?

From what we read at Genesis 18:20-21 it's clear that God is not everywhere so if they like let them twist the matter using different grammar what God said in that verse is self explanatory! smiley

From basic school of thought, God is everywhere by substance but not necessary by presence.

I can for a fact say Dior is in 80% of the world,🤔 its logical antecedent is self explanatory.
Kindly provide a verse that supports the statement in bold.

Before I provide any verse let me know your standpoint!

What do you think of God?
Perhaps he is not everywhere? 🤨
Re: Where Resides The "Jehovah" Of The JW Before He Created Anything by Gabrielshow24: 10:03pm On Feb 17, 2025
Provide a response then I will use both logic and scripture to show the omnipresence of God!!!

Now i remember!

You don't know what the Bible teaches on topics so it's not just that you don't have a church but you don't even know what Bible verse to apply during Bible discussion you just want to argue blindly! smiley

If God can fit into Jesus why then not a temple? 😂😂😂😂


Space is a concept.
Even quantum laws seems to suggest that there is no such thing as space because of quantum entanglement 🤔.

Don't tell me you are a JW😂
That'll be rather sad🤤

Does it matter what newton said?

Present modern science have now created a boundary at which all what newton said is factually true anything below this boundary it becomes wrong.

By the way is Solomon God?
If Jesus the fullness of God which pales in height to the temple can walk as God in flesh then you have no justification for saying otherwise.

Then the problem is in your own perception of God!!!!

I don't have to explain what I have already given an answer to.

If you still don't get it, then the fault is with you, as you are just projecting your perceptions of God.

In terms of identity, the picture is TRUE.

You've not explained 1 kings 19:11, 12. Why was God not in the earthquake, wind and fire?

By substance God is everywhere but by presence he is not necessarily everywhere!!!

So explain John 1:18.
King James Bible
No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.

The picture clearly shows that GOD is father, son and holy spirit simultaneously. So why would John 1:18 say that no one has seen God at any time when people actually saw Jesus?

You are just buttressing my own point!!!
By substance God is everywhere but by presence he is not necessarily everywhere!!!
So are the saying that the earthquake wind and fire was not God by substance? How come he was not in those elements?

What's the difference between substance and presence according to the Bible?

That's not what the picture claim🙄.

If you had seen "not the " then that has shown evidence contrary to your statement.
Also the verse in John alludes to the fact that only the son has seen the immaterial image of God.

Everyone that saw, saw as a shadow of what is not what he really is.

We can't perceive him save based on forms or objects or subject to some laws.

Hence that's why Jesus is the physical image of God and he himself confirms that!!!

Psalm 139:7 gives an allusion to the omnipresence of God!!!

Does the picture say that 'GOD' is 'Father', 'son' and 'holy spirit'? Yes or no?

John 1:18 simply states that no man has seen God at any time. It does not say no one has seen the immaterial image of God. If Jesus is God and people saw him, did they not see God whether materially or not?


Psalm 139:7 gives an allusion to the omnipresence of God!!!
You claimed that "From basic school of thought, God is everywhere by substance but not necessary by presence".
So please is God omnisubstance or Omnipresent?

John was making reference to the Father!

Infact seeing Jesus, you have indeed seen the Father.

His aim was to show that it was the son that revealed God to man!!!

Also as regards God is father, son and spirit that is a flip view of seeing the image.

It's rather seen as God the Father is not the son, nor the spirit although God, viz a viz the rest!

Omni substance that's new🤔.
It's rather because of the spirit of God that fills creation, that exists in creation - more of an attribution to the life force or energy dispelling force within creation!

So are you saying that The word "God" in John 1:18 is against the picture representation of God is Father son and holy spirit?

Does the picture say "God the father" or "God is father, son and holy spirit"?

It's not against, it just shows the fullness of sight or rather medium of sight.

one sees God through a lense while One sees God unfiltered!!!

That's a straw God fallacy because the Nicene creed addresses this issue.

The concept of "God" is owned and expressed by three persons under the influence of unity for a particular purpose!

Not God is father, son and spirit !!!! that's a sheepish way of interpreting that and that's why I said earlier; it was a flip side view of the image!!!

Substance is what the attributes of God are built on, it could be physical and spiritual and it is not necessarily physical!!!

Why yet you can't argue against the fact that fields exist around objects while yet not visible it's also imperative that the substance of God can take on any form and it's not limited to anything.

Also you must remember that God is the uncaused cause!!!

And to answer your question God is omnipresent!!!!

The Father is God 🤔
The Father is not the son!
The Father is not the HS!

What aspects of that don't you understand?
The substance of God is immaterial!!!

Is energy everywhere? 🤔, yes it is!!!

Even though you can't see it, it's there!
Even in seemingly empty space it's there!!

But yet from science we know that energy can be converted to matter.

If you can't prove that wrong then I beg to differ about your opinion!!!!

Once again you are projecting!!!
Your perception of God is flawed!

Also The Father is also referred to as God The Father!!!!

You have to first define God. And if your definition is honest and accurate you'd realise that the Son is also God. And since there is only one God, the Son has to be part of that one God

It just means that no one has seen God beyond what God allows them to see. No man can see God in His full Glory and live.

Did the Elders of Israel see God?
