Re: what does OmniPresent mean
"Can God sin?"
An answer to this question bears no meaning at all, as the paradox lies within the question itself, along with other similar paradoxical questions. Actually those questions can finally be resolved into *ONE* single paradoxical question, disregarding how decorative those questions are, which is,
"Can God do something He cant?"
A "yes" to this question leads to a logical error, while a "no" casts doubt on God's omnipotence.
Yet those questions actually have *absolutely nothing* to do AT ALL with God's omni-nature, so to speak. So why bother with answering such a question?

Re: what does OmniPresent mean
"You tell me."
No I cant't, I am not in any position to judge God. I just pointed out that there's a paradox in the questions.
By and large, I have not much doubt about His omnipotence, omnipresence and omnisicence.

Re: what does OmniPresent mean
"really? i thought they had everything to do with his nature, can you explain why they do not?"
Already explained, by answering a paradoxical question, your going no where in figuring out anything. As a pattern, you already know the answer to those questions without even knowing the exact question.
How?
A "yes" to this question leads to a logical error, while a "no" casts doubt on God's omnipotence.
Of course, it's up to you to judge where your time shall spend.
