God is Omnipresent
Continued reflections on the attributes, character, person and actions of God. God is Omnipresent This is normally defined as, God is everywhere. But as I ponder this attribute, I’m struck that the normal definition is too small. Â Since God is infinite, His omnipresence is infinite–infinite presence. But I know my mind cannot grasp the infinite. …
