Does this apply?

[Thecatholicguy]

Ok so I know that our lord Jesus Christ is everywhere. Omnipresent as we may say. If I go to heaven, will this rule still apply or because I’m in heaven, this doesn’t apply because God is right THERE? MMMHHHH.

Whuuu?

Please rephrase?

 

[Mtatum1958]

Why wouldn’t it apply? Just because you may experience the beatific vision, the nature of God wont change.

 

[MT1926]

Well God will still be omnipresent, but you won’t become omnipresent, along with him, if that is what you are asking?

In heaven we may be. I am thinking of the Gospel of John, in which Jesus promises that his apostles (and all the faiithful?) will be in him and with him eternally. For instance:

John 6:56
“Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me and I in him.”

John 14:20
“On that day you will realize that I am in my Father and you are in me and I in you.”

John 17:22-23
“[Father,] I have given them the glory you gave me, so that they may be one, as we are one, I in them and you in me, that they may be brought to perfection as one…”

These tell of an eternal communion with God which may grant us some of the properties (knowledge, presence) of God – not, of course, making us God’s equal.
