Author Topic:   Is God Omnipresent?

May I have this postulate be presented.
"God is omnipresent," how will you interpret this? On the topic, "The Problem of Evil" one participant claimed that evil is simply the absence of God. But if God is omnipresent He must always be present even if the "evil" thing is around. And, if God is everywhere there is no place where He is not present, and so, how can He be absent when evil is present? Now, if evil is simply the absence of God, then God is not all-present? What do you think?

Re: what does OmniPresent mean
Omnipresent is one of the attributes of God aside from being "Omnipotent" and "Omniscient." Because we believe that God is the creator of everything He must have the attribute of always being there in all places at the same time. But this attribute must be limited to following:
1. God is present in both past and present times.
2. God is present in both the spiritual and material world.

Re: what does OmniPresent mean

Re: what does OmniPresent mean
Definitely it is not what I am saying and I would never ever say that "God is evil."
