797 Pearson, On the Creeds Wardlaw, Syst. In Genesis 1:1, 3, 6, 9, 11, 14, or the Story of Creation, we know that God is the Maker of the universe. See Krauth, The Conservative Reformation, p. But, the Bible gives us a clearer picture of just how powerful God is. The names of the twelve apostles are these: first, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew his brother James the son of Zebedee, and John his brother Philip and Bartholomew Thomas and Matthew the tax collector James the son of Alphaeus, and Thaddaeus Simon the Cananaean, and Judas Iscariot, who betrayed him. God is present on His throne in heaven (Hebrews 8:1 12:2 Revelation 21:5). The Bible does, however, speak of God’s presence in different senses. No one can flee from God’s presence (Psalm 139:7). He is the intelligence which guides, and the power which moves but his personality is preserved, and he is independent of the works of his hands, however vast and noble. Solomon said: Behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain You God (1 Kings 8:27). All things have their being in him, but he is distinct from all things he fills the universe, but is not mingled with it. God is everywhere, but he is not everything. As he is a spirit, he is so omnipresent as not to be mixed with the creature, or divided, part in one place and part in another nor is he multiplied or extended, but is essentially present everywhere. To accomplish all of these things requires the omnipresence (and omnipotence) of God in every aspect of creation, at all times in all places, whether it be sustaining the vast, vast panoply of stars and galaxies of outer space, or preserving the laws of subatomic physics. This attribute may be argued from his infinity (Psalm 139) his power, which is everywhere (Heb 1:3) his providence (Ac 17:27-28), which supplies all. Psalm 104:2 says that God stretches out the heavens like a curtain.

presence in every place at the same time. Omnipresence, another attribute of God alone, his ubiquity, or his.
