Bible Question:
If God is omnipresent, is He in Hell? |
Bible Answer: Hi, pumpkin... Welcome to the forum! Yes, hell is the presence of God in His judgment and wrath. Herman Bavinck (a Dutch theologian) wrote, "When you wish to do something evil, you retire from the public into your house where no enemy may see you; from those places of your house which are open and visible to the eyes of men you remove yourself into your room; even in your room you fear some witness from another quarter; you retire into your heart, there you meditate: He is more inward than your heart. Wherever, therefore, you shall have fled, there He is. From yourself, whither will you flee? Will you not follow yourself wherever you shall flee? But since there is One more inward even than yourself, there is no place where you may flee from God angry but to God reconciled. There is no place at all whither you may flee. Will you flee from Him? Flee unto Him!" In Him, Doc |
