Do you feel that God is inside or outside of you?

Question

Do you feel that God is a part of you or seperate from you?

Answer 1

I feel that God is all around us and an integral part of each and every one of us.

Answer 2

Your question can be taken in several different ways...the first is God inside me? Not physically but God is spirit so He is part of my spirit as long as I obey His ways and when we disobey or sin that is how God can become separate from us, because the two-God and sin can not reside in the same place because God is holy but not untouchable. Only by believing on His Son Jesus Christ can man be saved and there is no other way to the Father but through the Son.

Answer 3

1) God is both inside and outside of everyone.
2) All of us are parts and parcels of God.

1) God's being inside and outside of everyone is understood in the three aspects, viz.,
1. Brahman aspect-impersonal,
2. Paramatma aspect- localized in the heart,
and 3. Bhagavan aspect- personality of God.

For more understanding of this please see the following explanation from Bhagavad-gita, http://bvml.org/books/BG.html
These three divine aspects can be explained by the example of the sun, which also has three different aspects, namely the sunshine, the sun's surface and the sun planet itself. One who studies the sunshine only is the preliminary student. One who understands the sun's surface is further advanced. And one who can enter into the sun planet is the highest. Ordinary students who are satisfied by simply understanding the sunshine—its universal pervasiveness and the glaring effulgence of its impersonal nature—may be compared to those who can realize only the Brahman feature of the Absolute Truth. The student who has advanced still further can know the sun disc, which is compared to knowledge of the Paramatma feature of the Absolute Truth. And the student who can enter into the heart of the sun planet is compared to those who realize the personal features of the Supreme Absolute Truth. Therefore, the bhaktas, or the transcendentalists who have realized the Bhagavan feature of the Absolute Truth, are the topmost transcendentalists, although all students who are engaged in the study of the Absolute Truth are engaged in the same subject matter. The sunshine, the sun disc and the inner affairs of the sun planet cannot be separated from one another, and yet the students of the three different phases are not in the same category.

2) We are parts and parcels of God since God is spiritual in nature as opposed to the material temporary nature. We being the spirit souls separate from the temporary perishable body are
in qualitatively spiritual in nature as that of the Lord. Example can be given of a drop of ocean is salty and the ocean as whole is also salty. This is very gross example, but something can be understood from that. We, individual spirit souls are also sac-cid-ananda(eternal,knowledgeable and blissful) as that of the Lord. Another example is that of father and son. The father is a human being and son is also human being, but the father begets the son. Similarly we spirit souls are of the same spiritual nature as that of the Lord, but at the same time he is like father and he is just like ocean very big.

Answer 4

Inside. The kingdom of God is within. We are all a spark of God, a part of God, like many drops of water from the ocean of God.

Answer 5

If God is only on the inside of me.....then he/she cannot be on the inside of you also, without also being on the outside of me.

So, if God is inside of me and inside of you, which is also outside of you and me, then God would have to be everywhere, which would make God part of me and part of you.

So, God would have to be logically part of me and also separate from me, unless you and I are connected in some way, which would logically mean that you and I are are also connected......ultimately meaning that we are all connected, and....(I'll stop explaining now, before I decide to believe that we are all one).

Answer 6

you should listen to the beatles song "within you without you"

also read this:
Religions are all based on “information” that comes from nature’s energy which is what everything and everyone is made of, which may be sound, electrons, or anything else that science has proven, this energy is also known as the holly spirit or God, an omnipotent force, this so called information which has existed since “the beginning” has just been sensed, interpreted or channeled in different ways by different cultures according to the way they perceive the world or their particular existence. Ascribing Virtues and Meaning to these manifestations of energy, being the same basic information about spiritual growth and equilibrium and how to achieve it through one’s actions and decisions and about how things will come to pass, prophecies about earthly events which affect spiritual growth. Some of these prophecies include the annunciation, birth of Jesus Christ and the coming of the magi to his birth, which was prophesized by the Egyptians, but wrongly ascribed to how they believed one of their pagan gods had been born.

Pagan Gods: Adoration to images of human perceptions of divine energy, perceived and given virtues based on culture’s idealization on their association with the meaning of these virtues.

Being manifestations of energy, humans shape their soul throughout life so that when their physical bodies cease to function, their spirit may merge with the rest of the divine omnipotent energy, and avoid merging with the simultaneous opposite manifestation of this energy, the first being a feeling of all that one desires and considers good, against the feeling of all that one despises and considers evil; an example of interpretation of this information by culture through time is the idea of the Taiji (the ying and the yang). Another interpretation of the pureness of these forces, God the father opposed to the devil, and their respective “places”, Heaven and Hell, all that you desire against all that you despise.

Answer 7

I feel that deity (i.e. God) is everything, and therefore both internal and external. We are as much a part of God as he is us.

Answer 8

Both

Answer 9

I'm Atheist so don't believe in something/someone called God; therefore it's neither inside nor outside me, it simply doesn't exist.

Answer 10

Heaven is God's throne, the earth His footstool, He's everywhere we look and He beholds everything..

Most of all, His residence also is the heart of believers.
