Q8: Is God present in hell? Yes in omniscience but not in felt/manifest presence — Psalm 139 explored

20 Questions with Pastor Mike (Episode 22) 00:31:05 – 00:34:10

Viewer Angela Juarez asks whether an omnipresent God is also present in hell.

Mike answers 'yes, but.' He exposits Psalm 139:7-12 — the psalmist cannot flee from God's spirit or presence, even in Sheol. He connects omnipresence to omniscience (God's universal awareness). However, Mike distinguishes God's omnipresence from his 'felt presence' — the manifest, experiential presence like Moses glowing on the mountain or the glory cloud filling the temple. Hell has God's omnipresence (awareness) but not his felt manifest presence. He coins the phrase 'not omnifelt presence.'
