020 God Is Not Everywhere

God is Not Everywhere Jul 28th, 2007 by Bro. Eli The word ‘omnipresent’ is never found in the original languages used to write the word of God in the Bible. Although it is possible that later translations which were translated according to the religious inclination of the translator may have it. We are lucky to have manuscripts of the scriptures dating as far back as the 1st and 2nd century of the Christian era (See image below). The advent of the computer age made it easier to search the entire Bible in just a click of a keypad.

Nobody can ever (in this age) understand the whole being of God. (Isaiah 55:8-9) “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.” As the heaven is unfathomable, God’s thinking and ways are like the unfathomable heavens by earthlings. We are not allowed by any authority in the Bible to ascribe anything to God, whether it seems like adding honor and glory to Him! Why? God does not change. He is infinitely the same from everlasting to everlasting. (James 1:17) “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.” The teachings of the deceived Mormon’s that God is a person just like us in the beginning; and only attained exaltation is biblically false.

We can not add to His glory by our belief; nor diminish it by our unbelief. (Romans 3:3-4) “For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect? God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.” God is limited to being true and faithful, He cannot lie! Im not putting limit unto Him, His words say so. It is impossible for Him to lie! (Titus 1:2) “In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began…” (Hebrews 6:18 ) “That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us…” We know that God is a spirit because our teacher from heaven said so. (John 4:24) “God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.” He is love because it was written. (1 John 4:16, 8 ) “And we have known and believed the love that God hath to us. God is love; and he that dwelleth in love dwelleth in God, and God in him…” “…He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.”

He is a consuming fire. (Hebrews 12:29) “For our God is a consuming fire.” He is compassionate and ever loving. (Psalms 103:14) “For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.” He is good. (Psalms 100:3-5) “Know ye that the LORD he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his people, and the sheep of his pasture. Enter into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise: be thankful unto him, and bless his name. For the LORD is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations.” He sits in yonder heavens and Jesus, our Lord, sits at the right hand of His majesty. (Colossians 3:1) “If ye then be risen with Christ, seek those things which are above, where Christ sitteth on the right hand of God.” (Hebrews 8:1) “Now of the things which we have spoken this is the sum: We have such a high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens…” One strict prohibition of the Bible is for us to accept the word of God as it is. Nothing must be added or taken away. (Revelation 22:18-19) “For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book, If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book: And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.” (Jeremiah 26:2) “Thus saith the LORD; Stand in the court of the LORD’s house, and speak unto all the cities of Judah, which come to worship in the LORD’s house, all the words that I command thee to speak unto them; diminish not a word:” (Proverbs 30:5-6) “Every word of God is pure: he is a shield unto them that put their trust in him. Add thou not unto his words, lest he reprove thee, and thou be found a liar.” The Bible says that the eyes of God are everywhere. (Proverbs 15:3) “The eyes of the LORD are in every place, beholding the evil and the good.” If God is everywhere, as other religions claim, the Bible should not have said that the eyes of the Lord are in every place. It will contradict the law of logic. Does it mean that the eyes of God, His

very eyes, are everywhere? Of course, not! His eyes are in His being; but can see even beyond the material universe we know. God is in heaven, according to the prayer taught by our Lord Jesus Christ to the disciples. (Matthew 6:9-13) “Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.” God is not in a place where there are evil strife and envy. (James 3:16, 15) “For where envying and strife is, there is confusion and every evil work.” “This wisdom descendeth not from above, but is earthly, sensual, devilish.” He is not where confusion dwells. (1 Corinthians 14:33) “For God is not the author of confusion, but of peace, as in all churches of the saints.” It is an insult to God for anybody to say that He is everywhere. The disrespectful are trying to drag God to every place they want Him to be: In the casinos? The prostitution dens? In the place of demons? God forbids! This is the teaching of the misled, the blinded, and the wicked. (Acts 17:24) “God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands…” He even left His chosen nation, Israel, when they turned to be wicked. (2 Chronicles 15:3) “Now for a long season Israel hath been without the true God, and without a teaching priest, and without law.” But when they where following His statutes and judgments, God was with them, and not in any nation on earth. (2 Kings 5:15) “And he returned to the man of God, he and all his company, and came, and stood before him: and he said, Behold, now I know that there is no God in all the earth, but in Israel: now therefore, I pray thee, take a blessing of thy servant.” To my readers, are you one of those who are trying to discredit God by ascribing to Him false qualities that He does not ascribe to Himself? God forbids! (Job 13:7) “Will ye speak wickedly for God? and talk deceitfully for him?”

My God — the Almighty God — is not in a heart that deceives people like other religious leaders. Praise be unto Him, forever and ever. Amen
