Is God Everywhere?

God

is everywhere in the physical universe. But, on the spiritual side, he is not everywhere.

What? I saw this statement today. What do you think?

Sounds a little like one of those Zen Riddles... Either that, or the person that wrote it had a certain idea in mind.

I tend to believe that the opposite makes more sense: God is spirit, and the physical is only a reflection of the spirit/consciousness.

I'd be interested to know in what context this was written, as that can make alot of difference.

sendy47 will become famous soon enough

[could this statement be from two religious people conversing and talking of how God is everywhere yet people who claim spiritualality are not showing out wardly what there preaching ...so spiritualy he seems to come up short for what humans might theorize of how one should behave....

I agree with Angeleyes....but I could also see it from a spiritual perspective as to everywhere being a concept in consciousness. Beyond consciousness there is no time or space.

I think what is said is that God exists in all of space but in a spiritual sense he doesn't exist everywhere. Like God doesn't exist in evil.

But if He exists in all of space it must also be true that evil exists in Him. There is nothing outside of God.

God takes up all space. If God is perfect.....how can suffering be a part of God? Either God is everything....which includes good and bad.....or God is neither.....but beyond (pleasure and pain).

Can a completely good person contain evil thoughts and an understanding of evil in them but still be completely good. Maybe it is something like that with God. Also, if there were no evil what would good be? The existence of evil is necessary for there to be good. God can't get rid of one without the other.
