Since God sustains all things, how can he concentrate himself into one person? Doesn't that mean that he is not in other people as much as that one person?
"And the Word became flesh, and dwelt among us, and we beheld His glory, glory as of the only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth." - John 1:14
"For God so loved the world, that He gave His only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in Him shall not perish, but have everlasting life." – John 3:16

The only difference would be the choices of each person.
The Bible says, "The rain falls on the just and the unjust alike."
Meaning that we all have equal opportunity to make choices that may hurt others or help others.
I do not believe that God is represented in the life of a child molester or a rapist, or someone who makes a decision to kill in cold blood. If demonic possesion is real, then those things would have to be the manifestation of it.
It is not hard to see the pressence of God in those wfho suffer innocently, and yet, forgive and show undue mercy for those who deserve none.

I think you are debating the trinity here.
If you look at Proverbs 8:20 an on, you see Jesus is explaining his beginnings. What?? Oh yeah, see, Jesus was created by God Almighty. Jesus is the first born, or actually God's first created. This is extremely important because God is one God, and although Jesus is a powerful god-like person, who is said to be the image of God. The bible make much more sense and less confusing.
God does not reside in us, but his spirit can affect us to do certain things, or not do things that could harm us. Gods spirit can move us in our conscious to act appropriately.
The term Word became flesh, means Jesus is like moses in that he speaks to humans as a spokesman. The last part of that verse agrees what i just said Jesus is only begotten from the Father, and the same qualities, of full of grace and truth.
Of course John 3:16, It was God Almighty YHWH or Jehovah, same name he (God Almighty) gave to Pharaoh in Egypt through Moses, is the Creator, and Father of Jesus his only begotten Son, or first born, first created as i mentioned above. With that knowledge then you can understand How God felt, how Jesus felt, and how people should feel, as how we conduct ourselves, to have that gift for everlasting life.
whew!!!! hope that helps. NO TRINITY,

Well, your quote doesn't fit your question, but God does dwell in people in different ways. It mostly depends on how well someone wants to know God and how deeply they love and worship God. That is why some have a healing gift from God, some sing, some play instruments, some minister, some pray. Some do more than one.

yet Judaism prioritizes loving relationships and the thanks to attend to individuals. The 'regulations' are rules in the route of doing that. The prohibition on gay behaviour may have initially been especially antagonistic to a particular type of idolatry. in recent times, 2 of the 4 U.S. movements make no enormous difference with regards to orientation. The Conservative circulate enables man or woman congregations to envision for themselves. The Orthodox stick with the prohibition among themselves yet often have a tendency no longer to stress about what non-Jews do. Judaism enables provision for updating our information of the regulations to save them suitable and functional for replaced circumstances. basically as society now perspectives homosexuality in yet differently, so do many Jews. We comprehend that someone's psychological well being ought to take priority over custom.

most cars basically have the same size of gas tank.
but the flow of gas used as fuel is determined by the driver's foot on the gas pedal.
.
and its the same with every individual. the flow of God in a person's life is based on how much that person allows God to have free access.
the less selfish a person is - the more God will be manifest in that person's life.

God is Omnipotent-- all powerfull
Omnipresent ---Present everywhere (at once)
Omniscient --- All knowing.
So I guess that He can be everywhere at the same time --- Kinda spooky ain't it-----

You are correct in you assumtion of God not being any "less" for anyone God's desire is for everyone to go to heaven whent they die. It is when we push God away, by our deeds our thoughts, our lives, that through our own actions God's impact on us becomes less, not by his, but by our own rejection of him.
