Why do you think human spirits are omnipresent?
Spirit and body form a unity...
I dont. But I also dont believe that God is omnipresent in the same way that you probably do.
I am curious as to what you believe the nature of God's omnipresence is. Is he physically everywhere at once? Mentally? Is it only in influence, like how American culture is everywhere around the globe? I have heard alot of people tell me they believed that God was in everything, that everything was God, including books, cars, and rocks. I dont imagine that is the common view here on this site, but I could be wrong.
I appreciate any responses. I have been debating evangelicals for some time now, and there are some doctrines they have that I dont understand, and I am finding out more and more that they dont either, which is not necessarily a bad thing in all cases.
Christ had an eternal, omnipresent, divine nature as well as a limited human nature. Don't ask me how precisely that is possible as I don't know how it feels. But it's what the Bible teaches.
You see, this dilemma is not one that is irrational or illogical. I believe that Christ may have had some limits on his power inbetween his birth and his death, but after his ressurrection I believe that even in a physical body of flesh and bones he was unfettered by mortal limitations. Didnt he say that he had been given all power in heaven and on earth?
Mat 28:16 ΒΆ Then the eleven disciples went away into Galilee, into a mountain where Jesus had appointed them.
Mat 28:17 And when they saw him, they worshipped him: but some doubted.
Mat 28:18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
So if Jesus had all power in heaven and in earth, yet had a physical body of flesh and bones at the same time, how was it that he was omnipresent? Certainly when he vanished from the presence of the disciples after walking on the road to Emmaus he was no longer physically there.
Consider this, If Christ(God) knows all things, then he knows exactly what is going on everywhere in the world all the time. And if he is able to influence those events without physically being there(which he should if he were God), then there is no need for him to be physically everywhere at once. Therefore he could still be present with the disciples in Emmaus even after leaving their physical presence.
Or is this just completely unbiblical from your perspective? This time I am actually interjecting some of my own thoughts, instead of asking questions about only your beliefs. Feel free to criticize, but play nice its almost the weekend.
