here are many groups of faith that claim that, God
is everywhere, of God is omnipresent. Do you know
that this is a great fallacy, as far as the Bible is
concerned? This is what
Acts 17:24 says, “
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.”
The Bible clearly said that, God does not dwell in
temples made by hands of men. In other words, God is
not in places made by hands. He does not dwell there
even if that temple had been regarded as a
“magnificent house of worship,” like what had been
published in “
Pasugo.”
If God is not there, it only means one thing: It is
not true that God is everywhere. God is not
omnipresent, like many religious groups, who do not
understand the Bible, claim.
Proofs to this are reflected in the Holy Scriptures
if only one would thoroughly and intelligently
examine it. In a place where righteousness does not
dwell, God does not dwell there either. This is what
II Kings 5:15 says,
“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.”
This verse confirms that, at first, God did not
dwell in the whole world but only in Israel.
However, when Israel parted from righteousness, God
likewise abandoned them. This was written in
II Chro.
15:3,
“Now for a long season in Israel hath been
without the true God, and without a teaching priest,
and without law.”
It clearly tells us that, the God of peace and
righteousness, the real God who made the heavens and
earth, does not dwell in places where peace and
righteousness do not prevail. Instead of God, it is
Satan, also called god of this world, who dwells in
those places. This is according to
II Cor. 4:4.
“In
whom the god of this world hath blinded the minds of
them which believe not, lest the light of the
glorious gospel of Christ, who is the image of God,
should shine upon them.”
Wherever chaos and wickedness dwell, there also
dwells the devil, and not God. It is clearly stated
in
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.”
Therefore, we must not believe those who claim that
God is everywhere, or God id omnipresent. That is a
blatant lie!
