  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

God the Father is in Heaven.

Matthew 6:9 - Our Father which art in heaven..............

God the Holy Spirit dwells in the believer.

Matthew 14:16 - "And I will pray the Father, and He shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide with you forever."

This will be a somewhat open-ended question and you can feel free to interpret it in any way you'd like (i.e. physically, spiritually, emotionally, ironically).

But if someone were to ask you the simple question, "Where is God?", how would you answer?


The answer is quite simple, where isn't He?

A common temptation to misunderstand God's omnipresense is the belief that God is in everything.

God is not in everything, the reason that this mistake is easy to make is because creation reveals and reflects God. Creation is an expression of God, like a masterpeice is an expression of the master artist. It reflects him, you can see him in it in a sense, but in truth he is not contained within it.

God is not in everything but he is everywhere right? :confused:

My response would be: The question doesn't apply.


"Where" as to do with physics. Unless one is a Mormon, it is embraced that God is not a physical being, thus questions of physics don't apply.

God's Spirit and His presence is everywhere according to Psalm 139:7-12

Where can I go from your Spirit?
Where can I flee from your presence?
If I go up to the heavens, you are there;
if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.
If I rise on the wings of the dawn,
if I settle on the far side of the sea,
even there your hand will guide me,
your right hand will hold me fast.
If I say, "Surely the darkness will hide me
and the light become night around me," even the darkness will not be dark to you;
the night will shine like the day,
for darkness is as light to you.
