Which is impossible if he's omnipresent, no?
If a God is capable of being omnipresent than I imagine that God is capable of manifesting that in anyway they see fit, no?
There is no separation from an entity that's simultaneously everywhere. It's a fallacy and one you cannot fix with a "separation from God" type of eternal judgement.
There is no separation from something that's everywhere. You want it both ways and you can't have it that way.
We are talking about the God who says “I am the Alpha and Omega”, right?
So how can a God that “just is” have a beginning and an ending?
My point is, human logic based on facts that derive from a persons learnt experiences on Earth is not capable of fully explaining what God is or isn’t capable of, maybe that’s something we can both agree on.?
There’s so much I can’t explain about God, like, where does His power derive from? Yet, I still believe because I realize my logic/understanding is limited to my experience here on Earth or dimension ooor whatever the hell you want to call it🤷🏻♂️
*I just think it’s better I don’t place limitations on God based on what I think is possible.
Also, you are defining the Bible’s use of the word separation as you see fit.
What if it’s actually meant to mean you have no access to God? What if it’s meant to mean the balance of good and evil doesn’t exist where a non-believer goes after death because God has removed Himself from the equation?
We really don’t know what is meant by a separation from God, it’s not clearly defined in the Bible.
My hope for non-believers is that it means there is nothing in-store for them after death, consciousness and life just ends.
The other narratives that man have come up with due to their fear of God, are just that, narratives from a fearful mind.
You also clearly don't understand how belief works. What you believe is a culmination and combination of a myriad of variables such as life experience and circumstance. Encounters and events influence your beliefs on any subject.
Yet, you Christians STILL believe we can believe anything we WANT to. This isn't how things work at all. And yet, you champion a system of reward/punishment that judges based on what a person believes.
You really believe a person who's buried their child, and a person who has not are challenged the very same way when it comes to belief in an "all loving" deity?
I guarantee you the one who's buried their kid is going to have a harder time with that belief. But you all treat it like we all have the same equal shot at belief.
C'mon, this isn't how life works at all! Your system of reward created by your "all-knowing," "all-loving" God is largely a roll of the dice and isn't just at all. Think!
Since you're asserting the other narratives are false, I will assert that the bible and its narratives are as well.
You're a slave to a system of thought policing and victimization. Doubt is shunned and real truth never, ever derides doubt. Doubt is a motivator that leads to scrutiny and a pursuit of truth that once verified only re-enforces the truth. Truth should welcome doubt.
These verses are something a cult leader would say to keep their secrets hidden and the scheme alive. But since it's coming from "God's book." It's okay.
The biggest conspiracy out there is organized religion. But fortunately, its days are numbered.
