Omnipresent= a theological term that tries to explain God. It is a limiting term. Does omnipresent=huge/all encompassing?
Better question: How can Jesus sit at the right hand of God when God is spirit?

You aren't making fun of leftys are you?

It's a metaphor. It means that Jesus holds the equivalent of the Siege Perilous in the "court" of heaven.
It's the same metaphor as right hand man.
If I tell you that someone is my right hand man, you don't think he's growing out of my arm, do ya.
That being said, I don't believe in the Abrahamic deity, Jesus or omnipresent gods as a whole.

If jesus is the son of god then he is god and then there is god sitting at the right hand of god, and god can't sit at the right hand of god because god is omnipresent.
Now first of all you can't say that god sit because god dosen't need rest and secondly how can god have a son, and his son is another god then god gets confused and decides to kill his son, and then god dies and comes alove again
i really don't get how that hppens

You and your finite thinking...silly
God is God. God is Jesus. God is the Holy spirit.
Jesus is God. Jesus is Jesus. Jesus is the Holy Spirit
The Holy Spirit is God....etc
God is all powerful.
Jesus is God in the flesh sent to die for us
The holy spirit is everywhere at once.
They are one entity and seperate beings.
We say, 1+1+1=3
God says 1+1+1=1.
God defies logic. Logic is human and natural. God is supernatural.
You are limiting the creator who is bigger than the universe to a physical realm. He goes WAY beyond that.

And how can Jesus be God and stand at the right hand of God?

since when does "omnipresent" mean "no specific location"?
God is specifically located.. fully completely everywhere at the same time.

What if God's left handed?
Is Michael God's left-hand man?
hmmm....
Perhaps God isn't really omnipresent. Perhaps omninonpresent.

It's a figure of speech indicating closeness and importace, much as someone who's your "right hand man" on a project isn't always physically next to you on your right side.
Literal much?

Go to matthew and read about how the king (upon his return) will separate the lambs from the goats, then try asking this question again.
