Small Whisper: A Podcast of Christian Belief

God is Omnipresent

God is present everywhere. He transcends the physical world.

Psalm 139:7-10

Jeremiah 23:23-25

1. God does not have a physical body.

2. God is not contained by the physical world.

1 Kings 8:27

Terms such as big, large, and massive, expressions of volume or mass, do not apply to God because he transcends physicality.

3. God is fully present in all of his being, everywhere. God is simple. He cannot be divided into parts.

4. God is transcendent, distinct from his creation. Therefore, omnipresence does not equate with pantheism (everything is God) or panentheism (the world is part of God). Creation and God are not one.

5. A theophany is a visible manifestation of God, such as the burning bush of Exodus 3. Theophany is not a contradiction of God’s omnipresence. God is always fully present everywhere.

Isaiah 66:1–2

Thus says the LORD:

“Heaven is my throne,

and the earth is my footstool;

what is the house that you would build for me,

and what is the place of my rest?

All these things my hand has made,

and so all these things came to be,

declares the LORD.

But this is the one to whom I will look:

he who is humble and contrite in spirit

and trembles at my word.

Isaiah 40:13–14 ,28

Who has measured the Spirit of the LORD,

or what man shows him his counsel?

Whom did he consult,

and who made him understand?

Who taught him the path of justice,

and taught him knowledge,

and showed him the way of understanding?

….

Have you not known? Have you not heard?

The LORD is the everlasting God,

the Creator of the ends of the earth.

He does not faint or grow weary;

his understanding is unsearchable.

Episode 4: God is Self-Existent

God speaks from the burning bush

I AM WHO I AM

Exodus 3:1-15

[ADDITIONAL NOTE on Exodus 3:15. As the personal name of God, “YHWH” was considered too holy to speak aloud, so it has been customary since ancient times for readers in the synagogue to substitute “adonai”, which means Lord, for “YHWH”. Most modern English Bible translations follow this custom by rendering the Hebrew word “YHWH” as “LORD”, typically in all caps - a capital L followed by ORD in smaller capital letters. When the English text reads LORD, the reader knows that the name YHWH appears in the Hebrew text.]

1. God has always existed. He is uncreated and never came into existence.

Psalm 90:1-2

Psalm 102:25-27

Revelation 1:8

2. Everything that exists was created by him.

John 1:1-3

Colossians 1:15-17

Revelation 4:10-11

3. God is self-sufficient. He has no needs.

Job 41:11

Acts 17:25

4. God does not need helpers.

Matthew 3:9

5. Everything belongs to him.

Psalm 50:10-11

The principle of causality. God is the ultimate cause.

Who made God? No one made God. God has always existed, and he will always exist.

1 Corinthians 8:6

… yet for us there is one God, the Father, from whom are all things and for whom we exist, and one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom are all things and through whom we exist.

1 Timothy 6.16

…he who is the blessed and only Sovereign, the King of kings and Lord of lords, who alone has immortality, who dwells in unapproachable light, whom no one has ever seen or can see.
