The place devoted for God is almost a very small corner in one's house or a small plot having a small building in a particular residential area. It is really wonderful that such a big god can be accomodated in such a small space. How?

God is not just bigger than the universe.
He can be of any size He likes, in fact, He already is available/present in all sizes !
Air is present in a balloon, lungs, atmosphere, etc ! Do not apply this example literally, look at it as indicative, and perhaps it will make a good example to guess about the UNKNOWN !

I realize that you do not know the omnipotence of God and that God is a Spirit. This simple means that nothing is impossible with God. Could you imagine that God can be everywhere, sees everything and can do everything at the same time? It is what makes Him "God". You will have a hard time believing such a simple matter because you have not come into the knowledge of knowing who God is. Once you get to know God in a personal way, by accepting His son Jesus Christ as your Lord and personal Saviour, and as you progress in Christ and God began to work in your life, your faith will begin to build up until you can reach that place in knowing God; not knowing about Him. As a Spirit God can dwell in any space - because God do not know space nor time like we humans do. When the Bible talked about God's timing in doing something. It doesn't mean that God set a date like September 8 or 10 for example. God plans andpurpose things by Himself and in His due timing - not man's. Can you imagine God creating a tree or an animal? What about you? He made you? You are living proof. Everytime I see a new born baby, am marveled by the miracle. Yes God is bigger than the universe, He called into being with one word, and yes, He can fit into a small space, even into the crevices of your life. If you open your heart right this minute and asked Him to come in, whatch what He will do for you. Why don't you try it this minute. Say: "Lord, I repent of my sins, all that I have done in thoughts, words and deeds, please forgive me and if you are who this person is saying that you are, then prove yourself to me and show me that you can really fit into the smallest space of my life. Prove you omnipotence to me and I ask your son Jesus Christ to come into my life and be my Lord and Saviour." Why don't you try this - as foollish as it may sound, prove it and then see if He will do it. If He does then you know He can fit into small spaces. If not then you know that He can't and I am a lier. Love you with the love of the Lord. Be bless.

He's not. In the time of Israel, only his Holy Spirit resided in the Most Holy of the Temple. Churches are not places for God, or his Holy Spirit, to reside. They are simply places for people to learn about him. The human heart is the place for the Holy Spirit to reside. The problem today is that churches are no longer place to learn the Bible. They are places to exchange money, to tell people what they should believe, and to provide a place for the elite to hold themselves over others who are less financially well off. It provides jobs for those who claim to be better educated than the parishioners. In reality, everyone should be taught equally, with any adult Head of household being able to lead the congregation.
You will see a good example of this in a new PBS special called Knocking.

Solomon has the same question when he finished building the Temple in the OT. His answer was the NAME of God came to that place. Other answers have been His Glory or the place was His footstool.
i think God can be there because love is there and God is love. Love created the universe - it is so beautiful - and love lives in my heart. It looks like it does in yours also.

It is hard to say whether God is subject to the physical limitations of time and space, or whether there is actually anything that can subject Him to any restraint of any kind. But that is a problem for the metaphysicists to hash out. The most important place for people to search for and find God is in their own hearts because He has repeatedly told us that that is where He wants us to enshrine Him.

Well, what about this... Assuming god is bigger than the universe... but the universe is constantly expanding... does that mean god is constantly expanding too? And what if god=the universe? Well, the size of the observable universe is determined by the speed of light, so does that mean the size of god is determined by the speed of light?

God is living in us. If he allow him to live in us or if we are holy then god will live in us. God will understand all our needs.He can stay anywhere..He don't want any separate place to live. The room which we are keeping in our house for prayer that is not for him that is the space which we will get concentrate and which we can keep clean.We can know his presence when we drive the car or at work or anywhere. no need any particular room for him. our heart is his room. We have to open our heart for him. So that he can live in us.

you are a blasphemer to call Jehovah a god as well as a traitor to the real Gods of Earth
and very arrogant to boot,to not call your supposed god by name but to assume that he is the only one around that could qualify as such.
God is the Sun another one is the Moon and we are living on one the Earth(Gaia)
the Christian god is an Anunaki ,hardly a real God ,unless Aliens are classified as Gods
