no, I am not providing any text..... comment based on what you think about the question.... and realize that any scripture you wish to provide I am sure I already know and consider inadequate... I want to look at the conundrum.... i.e. God is everywhere, so then why angels?
so you are suggesting that God delegates to angels? Even though God is everywhere and all powerful? Is that not a duplication of services?
the point is not the same.... it appears from the bible that some of what God does and some of what the angels do i.e. protect humans and/or record human behavior is the same.... Humans were not created spirits neither were they given the task to record or protect.....
The problem is not with the beings but the fact that they were called messengers. The ancients called them messengers because they believed that every ruler needed messengers. All their kings had messengers. Having created beings is not the problem but rather the need of messengers to carry messengers and do his work when he is omnipresent and omnipotent.
Those concepts are very easily explained. Consider yourself. Everything that is a part of your is part of your personal space. If you can it aside it may belong to you but it is not a part of you. Now, is there any place you are where it can be said you are not? The answer is No. Whereever any part of you is you are there. So, in terms of your personal space you are omnipresent. However, your component parts are not omnipresent because your brain is not where your feet are. But you are whereever your brain, or your feet, or your hands are. The same with omnipotence. You have power over every part of your body but no part of your body has direct power over the other parts of your body. In terms of your personal space you are omnipresent. You are omniscient in terms of your personal space and this demonstrates that omniscience is not about knowing detailed facts but having a full understanding of oneself. The only reason why you think you don't know all about your body is because you are considering what your brain knows, but your brain is not you, it is only a part of you. God is omniscient but He does not know every detail that you will do tomorrow. However, he does know everything you are capable of doing and cannot be taken by surprise.
Maybe you are expecting it to be more difficult than it really is.To adapt a phrase used by Stormy, would this be 4- or 5-dimensional thinking in a 3-dimensional world? This 3-dimensional guy can only imagine concepts such as "eternity," and "omnipresence."
