Lets take a walk away from Religion. What is God? A quality in every living thing and non living thing. It's Omniscient is present everywhere,in Brothels,Hotels,Night clubs,Drug houses,our homes,Schools,with Ritualists,Houses of parliaments,Banks ETC everywhere.

God like Love,Peace,Joy are qualities of life experienced by Conscious and non-conscious objects. God being a quality is not personified. If personified,it becomes finite in nature. Everything we do is God,good or bad are all God. Therefore,God is an expression and not a being.

Using a His for God personifies it.

Provie:
David says even if he should escape to shoel (hell, hades or any other variant of it), it is God's hand that takes him there.

God is everywhere; it is the nature his nature of His presence or purpose of His being anywhere that we have to consider.

My thought.

@OP What you have stumbled upon is part of a series of philosophical arguments on religion that have been discussed for centuries.

If you really think about them, you will find that the omni-xx qualities that are ascribed to God are almost impossible to rationalize.

Like your scenario rightly describes, God's omnipresence would mean that he is present everywhere, including hell, and in Lucifer's 'body' even. So after judgement day, at least according to the Christian faith, all of the condemned would be in the presence of not only the devil, but God himself. For all eternity.

Also, one less obvious implication of this omnipresence would be that God then cannot chose to NOT be in a place, ergo he is not omnipotent.

Furthermore, aside from the scenario you described in the OP, God's omniscience also implies that there is a single possible path of events. If God already knows the very end, whatever that is, then there cannot be any deviations from this path of events. As soon as there is, then God ceases to be omniscient. One implication of this is that he cannot then chose to change the course of events, effectively refuting any claims to his omnipotence. Karen Owens puts it succinctly in this haiku:



Another implication of this is that human freewill does not exist in this event. If God knows exactly what choices you would make from the very moment you were born, then you could not deviate from this path of choices, ergo you have no freewill. If you could actually make your own choices, changing God's initial 'knowledge' of the future, then God ceases to be omniscient.

Yet another quality attributed to God is omni-benevolence, the idea that God is all-good. To that, I'll leave you with Epicurus:



I hope I have been able to help, but this probably just leaves you with more questions than answers LOL. For more research on such topics, you may Google the Omnipotence Paradox, Euthyphro's Dilemma, and the Problem of Evil.

Serendipity:
Women by nature are capitalistic, materialistic, they enslave men with an idea of love and trap him into an overrated marriage and the man spends his whole life working for her while she fans the idea of being the weaker sex.

Women ordinarily don't want to work, some are just doing it these days because they have got no option. And why would they want to work when they can get a slave (man) who can do it even unbidden. A woman will have a flat tire an men will be glad to fix it for her even unasked. So why would she want to work.



Now what do men get for being slaves for women, nothing but occasional use of her vag.ina.

bf u earn 1m you may need to learn how to subsist on N10k.
While u think poverty is d ish. Remember mtn makes billions from selling N100 airtime.

martyns303:
Man we can't deal with the issue without the foundation, which is as a result of poverty. Your friend messed up big time. When he gave her the money, every guy would know that, that money is gone. Then he was so childish as to cut the cash someone gave to him for her, how immature is that? Dude wasn't only poor financially but mentally also. If I were in his shoes, I would give her, her money, then explain my situation and let her help. Wouldnt he had survived if that money had not come through? The deed is done, no need crying over spilled milk.

MarthaK:
Boyfriend? Girlfriend? Loan? Borrowing? Why?
He should just let it go....
When I used to borrow my ex money, shame no let me ask am

laplace12:

martyns303:
Poverty tho!

op tank u,


learning new tin on nairaland since ...

ERF: A One-Hour compulsory Heart to Heart talk would do the miracle. He should ask her to highlight her problem, if she's okay with stealing or she find it difficult to withhold herself from picking anything unfamiliar (her own).

If she finds it okay, try to tell her the effects as well as the dangers in it.. all in an attempt to discourage her because if she likes it then deliverance would be hard.

But if she finds it hard to stay away from what belongs to her, then start a series of prayers with her.. alongside fasting ( please do the fasting alone to avoid stories of her legitimately stealing for food) since there is nothing God cannot do.. see a Pastor or a counsellor and also her parents to know if the thing is in their lineage or its just her..

But in all DON'T STOP LOVING HER.. as Love is the solution to all problems..

berem: the advice is for your friend and not you. Does it look like I am advising you?

berem: You need to tell her parents before she disgraces you further. They brought her up and you need to tell them what she has turned into. Tell them before you hear one day that your wife has been beaten and her clothes torn in public for stealing.

marieolae: This woman has a problem. She's suffering from kleptomania. And the only solution to this is prayers and communication. The husband needs to sit down and talk to his wife. Maybe she's not satisfied with what she has, or it could just be greed. Anyhow, he needs to know the reason behind this problem. He could also visit a counsellor to advice him on what he could do. As for me, if my husband steals, because of love I will not leave him. I believe there is a God who is the solution to all my problems.

wazoboy: Nawa fo u o! frm all inducations u ar nt in d north talkless of being n Borno and u simply choose to beleive that NA is lying, but who told u that others(e.g., Sahara, bbc
, etc) are not lying too afterall bbc gave conflicting reports!
