If god is omnipresent does that mean god is in hell all the time?

If god is omnipresent then he is everywhere and hell is a place so god must be there. *according to christian's beliefs that god is omnipresent.*

If god is not in hell then god is not omnipresent and cannot exist everywhere. *that would defy christian's beliefs that god is omnipresent.*

In the bible god is said to reside in heaven but watches over earth but does not reside there. That is not omniprescence(All present) as that is omniscience(all-knowing) about the things on earth.

Checkmate? Naw I am sure some bible people know a verse or two so give it your best!

Update:

So god's spirit is in hell watching ppl burn? Wow that is so messed up! Can ppl see him according to ur beliefs?

    The whole concept of omnipresence negates the belief in a God that is a superior being out there somewhere, which is the definition in the dictionary, that or a king. So I believe in omnipresence I believe God is everywhere equally present, but further than that I believe God is All That Is the One that becomes the Many to experience Itself. Bible verse: "we live and move within His being". This belief classifies me as an atheist. Bible verses are contradictory, what I said could probably be negated by another verse. It is the wise that understand the few jewels of wisdom in the book and can separate them from the coals of ignorance.

    The damned are separated from God because Heaven the abode of God is where the Father and the Son and the holy ones dwell. In regards to Hell the Holy Spirit is there as well as here on earth and the Holy Spirit does sustain the damned in Hell.

    Think about this the Holy Spirit is the giver of life He sustains creation, Hell was created by God therefore in order for it to exist it has to be sustained.

    It would be helpful if you considered the term "omnipresent". It means present in everything all the time. Consider as well the term "Creation". The entire Creation consists of the manifested energies projected by God. But God is not His Creation, He remains as He always is: Neutral Spiritual Energy, or NSgy, the primal Energy of Creation. The Law of Creation is self-sustaining, and it serves we Souls as an opportunity to fulfill the Purpose of Life, which is to discover who, what, and why we Souls exist?

    Each Soul on Earth is living one of countless lifetimes, as each Soul slowly grows in understanding provided by the Law of Karma and the limitless lifetimes each of us can incarnate in order to mature. It is not meant for a Soul new to the "process of Life" to discover the Reality of Life. A Soul must first become substantially Enlightened [requiring many, many lifetimes], and only then does a Soul begin to awaken to the Reality of Life, and Truth.

    Peace

    Checkmate? Nope. The Bible says that God is in hell. Not only did Jesus visit hell, but the Spirit is there all the time.

    Oops.

    Source(s): Psa 139:7 Whither shall I go from thy spirit? or whither shall I flee from thy presence? Psa 139:8 If I ascend up into heaven, thou [art] there: if I make my bed in hell, behold, thou [art there].
