Where is God?

Some believe that heaven is the place where God dwells. Others think that God's abode is paradise.
God is everywhere at all times.
42 Bible Verses about God, Present Everywhere
Chronicles 2:6
But who is able to build a house for Him, for the heavens and the highest heavens cannot contain Him? So who am I, that I should build a house for Him, except to burn incense before Him?

The Islamic vision of the presence of God everywhere
Islam believes that God's existence is not limited by space and time. This is because God is not a body. He is not an accident limited by time. He does not occupy space or place and is not united with others.
God says:
He who created the heavens and the earth in six days, then willed to the Throne. He knows what penetrates the earth and all that emerges from it; all that descends from heaven and all that ascends to it. He is with you wherever you are. God is All-Seeing of what you do.’’

‘’Have you not seen that God knows what is in the heavens and what is on the earth? There is no secret talk between three but He is the fourth of them; nor between five but He is the sixth of them; nor between fewer or more but He is with them wherever they are. Then, on the Day of Resurrection, He will inform them of what they have done. Surely, Allah [God] has knowledge of all things.’’

This means that God is present everywhere and with every human being, but not in the sense of occupying space, rather what is meant is the universal encompassing.
It is clear that the human being does not reach the essence of this encompassing and this omnipotence, as the verse indicates the scientific awareness and the existential awareness, God Almighty is present, Hearing, All-Knowing.

God is the Most Merciful, and severe in punishment
The Bible says about mercy
Deuteronomy 7:9 – “Know, then, that the Lord, your God, is God: the faithful God who keeps covenant mercy to the thousandth generation toward those who love him and keep his commandments.”
Proverbs 28:13 – “No one who conceals transgressions will prosper, but one who confesses and forsakes them will obtain mercy.”
God is severe in punishment
Psalm 94:12-13 ; Blessed is the man whom You chasten, O Lord, And whom You teach out of Your law; That You may grant him relief from the days of adversity, Until a pit is dug for the wicked.
Psalm 119:75; I know, O Lord, that Your judgments are righteous.
73 Bible Verses about Punishment, By God

https://bible.knowing-jesus.com/topics/Punishment,-By-God

The Quran says:
‘’Know that Allah [God] is Stern in retribution, and that Allah is the Forgiver and the Most Merciful.’’
Meaning of the verse:
God knows all deeds, and He counts them against you in order to reward for good deeds, and His punishment is severe for those who disobeyed Him.
Among the punishments of disobedience in this world are lack of success, wasting time, alienating people from, not answering prayers, hardening the heart, depriving oneself of blessing in one’s sustenance and life, depriving oneself of knowledge, insulting the enemy, and being afflicted with bad companions. Length of worry and grief.
There are punishments in the grave, wherein souls are blessed, and others are tormented, until the Day of Judgment.
The final judgment will be in the afterlife. So whoever has a good record of his deeds, he will be in Paradise. And whoever's record is full of sins and injustices will be punished according to his sins, until the fire of Hell purifies him. As for the unbelievers and polytheists, they will live forever in the Hell.

God is a spirit
The Egyptian Church says: God is not matter, it is not permissible to attribute to Him any of the attributes of matter such as partiality, fragmentation, composition, weight, and form. So is the impossibility of seeing, touching, or knowing God with one of the physical senses. It is not permissible to attribute to him bodily organs or desires. The revelation ascribes it to Him, in order to approximate a specific meaning to humans. Likewise, God is a rational, moral, chosen, willful being, that is, He has a will, and all the intrinsic attributes.
God is a spirit unlimited in Himself, in his existence, glory, bliss, and perfection, sufficient for all, eternal (permanent), unchanging and incomprehensible, omnipresent, omnipotent, all-knowing, wise, holy, just, merciful, slow to anger, and abundant. Benevolence and loyalty. He is unchangeable in His existence, wisdom, power, holiness, justice, goodwill, and truth.
In Islam, the Holy Spirit is believed to be the Angel Gabriel.
Islam believes that God described Himself as the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful, the Lord of the Worlds, the Eternal, the Creator, the Forgiving, Severe in Punishment. He is not a compound, and is not a body, or essences, and is not the subject of accidents, not visible, has no partner, meanings and conditions do not expose Him, and He is not in need.
The Quran said:
In the name of Allah [God], Most Gracious, Most Merciful. Say: 'He is Allah, the One, the called upon. Who has not given birth, and has not been born, and there is none equal to Him. '

God is the Almighty Powerful Creator of the whole Universe.
There is no other god like Jehovah God.
All other gods are false.
God is not an it.

Are you aware of the existence of more than 700 gods being worshiped by the believers on Earth? What makes yours so special to believe in him rather than in the other 699?

If I may be so bold what makes the one God so special is that he sent his only son to die for the sins of the world while the so called others didn’t.

This looks so humble if compared to the Aztec mythology, where the God Nanahuatzin sacrificed himself in fire so that he would continue to shine on Earth as the Sun, thus becoming the Sun God.

Anyone has a better god than Nanahuatzin?

I may not know all mythologies from different cultures and the one God is not only humble but amazing in that he created the sun and is better that through his son that the sins of the world are forgiven for those of us who believe in him. Becoming a God of one thing or another might seem nice but only one God created it all and is the only God of them all and holds them all together.

well that's what everyone believes in, that it's their God / Gods who created everything. That doesn't make your god any special in this concern 🤷

Looking at your profile it says you’re atheist so you don’t believe in any God so of course the one true God wouldn’t be special to you. Let’s just leave it at that okay.

All those who are Non Believers will still have to answer to Jehovah God. The Only true and Living God.
Unbelievers and Atheist will be separated from God eternally. Jesus will judge all.
