A question to think about..... Most who believe in God would say that he is omni-present. That is he is EVERYWHERE! (From the minutest atoms, electrons etc and the space in between to every cell of our bodies to the distant reaches of the universe). Being an all pervasive spirit, there is nowhere he is not. So then, how is it that Christians talk about being 'filled with the holy spirit'? Were their bodies previously devoid of the same? How can that be if he is everywhere? It's a bit of a hard one to reconcile all these notions! Can God be there in part? Then the big one.... if hell is a place separate from god, how can that be? So is God omni-present or not? Feel free to use scripture or any other means to try and make sense of this one. Dog.

The idea of "God" being omni-ANYTHING always confused me. If he was omnipresent, omniscient, and omnipotent then how could he sit next to a baby being raped and do NOTHING! If he was omnipresent than he was in the room as it happened. If he was omniscient then he knew that it would happen and didn't prevent it. If he was omnipotent he had the power to do anything... but didn't

I can only assume that he is going to continue through with this reality but at some stage go back in time and remove the forbidden fruit tree from Eden so that the debauchery that followed actually didn't.

He can do that... right?

Hi Fishy!

OK I've indulged you. Watched your youtube blurb.

Now what about YOU providing some sort of answer to the question raised here?

Dog.
