What is the biblical basis for God being omnipresent?
score:16
David speaks of God's ability to be everywhere in Psalms 139:
Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence?
If I ascend up into heaven, thou art there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou art there.
If I take the wings of the morning, and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea;
Even there shall thy hand lead me, and thy right hand shall hold me.
If I say, Surely the darkness shall cover me; even the night shall be light about me.
Yea, the darkness hideth not from thee; but the night shineth as the day: the darkness and the light are both alike to thee. (Psalms 139:7-12;)
Another passage in the Old Testament is Jeremiah 23:24:
24 Can any hide himself in secret places that I shall not see him? saith the Lord. Do not I fill heaven and earth? saith the Lord.
There are a few other scriptures in the New Testament that could also be referring to omnipresence:
"For in him we live, and move, and have our being..." (Acts: 17:28)
"And hath put all things under his feet, and gave him to be the head over all things to the church, Which is his body, the fulness of him that filleth all in all." (Ephesians 1:22-23)
"For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell;" (Colossians 1:19)
