    Episode 6: God is Omnipresent

    Small Whisper: A Podcast of Christian Belief God is Omnipresent God is present everywhere. He transcends the physical world. Psalm 139:7-10 Jeremiah 23:23-25 1. God does not have a physical body. 2. God is not contained by the physical world. 1 Kings 8:27 Terms such as big, large, and massive, expressions of volume or mass, do not apply to God because he transcends physicality. 3. God is fully present in all of his being, everywhere. God is simple. He cannot be divided into parts. 4. God is transcendent, distinct from his creation. Therefore, omnipresence does not equate with pantheism (everything is God) or panentheism (the world is part of God). Creation and God are not one. 5. A theophany is a visible manifestation of God, such as the burning bush of Exodus 3. Theophany is not a contradiction of God’s omnipresence. God is always fully present everywhere. ~~~~~~~ Show website: https://smallwhisper.alitu.com ~~~~~~ Unless otherwise noted, scripture quotations are from the ESV® Bible (The Holy Bible, English Standard Version®), © 2001 by Crossway, a publishing ministry of Good News Publishers.

All these things my hand has made, and so all these things came to be, declares the LORD. But this is the one to whom I will look: he who is humble and contrite in spirit and trembles at my word.

    Episode 5: God is Omniscient

    Episode 5: God is Omniscient God knows all things Luke 7:36-50 Jesus knows the mind and heart of both Simon and the woman. God knows all things. 1 John 3:19-20 Job 28:24 God knows the future. Isaiah 44:7-8 God knows our hearts. 1 Samuel 16:7 Mark 2:6-9 All of God's knowledge is immediately and directly in his awareness. Psalm 139:1-6 God does not learn. He doesn’t find out. He is never surprised. He knows. If God knows the future, he has a different relationship with time than we do. Psalm 90:4 2 Peter 3:8 God's omniscience and omnipresence are closely related. God's knowledge of future events is connected with his sovereignty over history. Acts 2:23 God is in control. God's judgment will be utterly just.

    Episode 4: God is Self-Existent

    Small Whisper: A Podcast of Christian Belief Episode 4: God is Self-Existent God speaks from the burning bush I AM WHO I AM Exodus 3:1-15 [ADDITIONAL NOTE on Exodus 3:15. As the personal name of God, “YHWH” was considered too holy to speak aloud, so it has been customary since ancient times for readers in the synagogue to substitute “adonai”, which means Lord, for “YHWH”. Most modern English Bible translations follow this custom by rendering the Hebrew word “YHWH” as “LORD”, typically in all caps - a capital L followed by ORD in smaller capital letters. When the English text reads LORD, the reader knows that the name YHWH appears in the Hebrew text.] 1. God has always existed. He is uncreated and never came into existence. Psalm 90:1-2 Psalm 102:25-27 Revelation 1:8 2. Everything that exists was created by him. John 1:1-3 Colossians 1:15-17 Revelation 4:10-11 3. God is self-sufficient. He has no needs. Job 41:11 Acts 17:25 4. God does not need helpers. Matthew 3:9 5. Everything belongs to him. Psalm 50:10-11 The principle of causality. God is the ultimate cause. Who made God? No one made God. God has always existed, and he will always exist. ~~~~~~ Show website: https://smallwhisper.alitu.com ~~~~~~ Unless otherwise noted, scripture quotations are from the ESV® Bible (The Holy Bible, English Standard Version®), © 2001 by Crossway, a publishing ministry of Good News Publishers.
