A theological question raising issues around the abode of God since God was said to have created the heavens and the earth in the beginning.
God created the heavens and the earth in the beginning as recorded by Genesis chapter 1v1 he could not have been in what he created, he must have been existing outside the heavens and earth.
Giving further insight into this issue, “the Bible calls God the immortality that dwells in unapproachable light which man will never see as recorded in 1 Timothy 6v16. If you say he dwells in heaven then you have to understand that if there was a day God created the heavens and the earth, the question then is: Where was He before that day?”
God must be where he is before he created the heavens and earth because “God says I am God I change not. Since God does not live in heaven, God did not create heaven for himself. Heaven was created for man.”
the person in heaven now is the man Christ Jesus. He said, “God decided that he wants to be a family man. And he says as a family man, my family must know me. But as God, they can’t know me. So God sat down and walked out of God. God looked at God. The Lord said to my Lord, (the pre-incarnate said to the incarnate) you go and I will wait here. God was talking to himself.”
“the other God came into the womb of a woman. The first birth of Jesus was not an actual birth in the real sense of birth. It was manifestation of God (not in heaven, but where he was before heaven was created). That was why Paul talking to Timothy in 1 Timothy 3v16, said that great is the mystery of Godliness that God is manifest in the flesh. So the first birth of Jesus Christ was the manifestation of God in human form
