Let's try something new: Do we agree on anything?

Ps82

Or even in a septic tank (toilets are a little small for us to fit in). The point of the verses is not that God is in every place, necessarily, but that He is watching over us wherever we go. He sees us when we are in trouble. He is with us always, who are His, but is He with everyone, even those doing evil? His presence is special because it's not just a characteristic, but a promise of His help or succor.
You have hit some important points of how God interacts with people. I have a saying: God is real; he is alive; he knows what is going on in my life and cares. I have reasons for knowing/for comprehending this truth. So I agree with a lot of what you have said. This may be all that people need to know to receive mercy and salvation from our Lord .... But I want to know more about God and how he works and what his written word is telling us about him. I like to talk about what I have found.

I happen to say: That there is no where God is not. There is not a nothing place somewhere inside of God. There is not some place inside him of which he is unaware. He knows about the sparrows and he heard the blood of Abel crying out from the ground after Cain killed him.

Jeremiah 23:23-24 Am I a God at hand, declares the LORD, and not (also) a God far away? Can a man hide himself in secret places so that I cannot see him? declared the LORD. Do I not fill heaven and earth? declares the LORD.

God is a spirit ... The SPIRIT.

But what does it mean for a sentient being to fill heaven and earth? Just because He's a spirit doesn't mean He's like a gas that expands to fill a volume.
