God is everywhere, 2/4

What is God?

John 4:24 said that God is a spirit and this is means that God is a being that does not have size and dimension. He is not a being that neither can be contained in space nor occupy any space. Beside our physicality we also have a soul. Can our spirit be in different places in the same time? The answer is no. There is a different between our spirit and God. Our spirit is a finite (created) and God is infinite.


Some people thought of God’s omnipresent attribute as something that extends infinitely as an unending space. This wrong conception has categorised God as a bigger space. Another misconception is a pantheistic believes, which assumes that every thing created (this including us, plant, etc) is part of God. Since there is an apparent qualitative different between us and God, how can be the creator be the very thing He created?

Note: I will not discuss my rebuttal toward pantheistic believe in this writing since it required me to explain in a lengthier manner in order for us to get the bigger picture.


God as a spirit presence in every space in the same time, and He not only present part of Himself (1/3 in Australia and 2/3 in Indonesia) but he presence fully in every spaces in the same time. So we can enjoy his full presence in every time and space. This fact will encourage us in prayer where we no need special place to pray (not temple mosque or church) yet we still have God special attention. Most importantly we no need to have appointment with Him.
