FAQ # 182
QUESTION 182 : Does the Bible teach that God is confined to being, and working,
in only one place at a time? Does showing God working in more than one
place, or doing more than one thing prove a separation of individuals
in the Godhead?
To the last question no! God is not confined
to being and working in only one place at a time, neither does his omnipresent
suggests a Godhead made up of individuals. These verses will show that
from Genesis to Revelation there is only one God and not three persons
in a Godhead doing several things differently:
"Am I a God at hand, saith the Lord,
and not a God afar off? Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall
not see him? saith the Lord. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the
Lord?" -Jeremiah 23:23-24.
"...O God of Israel... behold, the
heaven and heaven of heavens cannot contain thee; how much less this house
that I have builded?... Of which thou hast said, My name shall be there..."
-1 Kings 8:26-27,29.
"...Seek the Lord...though He
be not far from every one of us: For in Him we live, and move, and
have our being..." -Acts 17:27-28.
"For the eyes of the Lord run to
and fro throughout the whole earth, to shew Himself strong in the
behalf of them whose heart is perfect before Him..." -2 Chronicles
16:9.
"And Jesus came and spake unto them,
saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth. Go ye
therefore, and teach all nations... Teaching them to observe all things
whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway,
even unto the end of the world" -Matthew 28:18-20.
"Now there are diversities of gifts,
but the same Spirit... For to one is given by the Spirit
the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;
To another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing
by the same Spirit; to another the working of miracles; to another
prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of
tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues: But all these worketh
that one and the selfsame Spirit..." -1 Corinthians 12:4,8-11.
"But unto every one of us is given
grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ... When He
ascended up on high, He...gave gifts unto men... He that descended
is the same also that...gave some, apostles; and some, prophets;
and some, evangelists; and some, pastors and teachers..." -Ephesians
4:7-11.
"Now the Lord is that Spirit..."
-2 Corinthians 3:17.
"For as the body is one, and hath
many members...so also is Christ. For by one Spirit are we all baptized...and
have all been made to drink into one Spirit" -1 Corinthians 12:12-13.
