His audience,of course.1st century Ephesians.I'm ok with that...are you?
Not just ephesians, but those who had been possessed by the holy spirit. Those who had rejected their own selfish way and turned to god's way. Those who had answered the call of god.
The oldest manuscripts use 'us' not 'you'.Kinda changes the meaning a bit,don't it?
Not really, still is referring to those who truly worship the true god.
You asked
"show me in the bible where it says god is everything."
Paul is very clear that he believes God is everything. <---Although god used men to write the book, it was actually his word being broadcasted. Holy men of God wrote as the holy spirit gave them the words. So what you are giving credit to paul or other people for is actually coming from the father. God is not a toaster, or a piece of shit. He created all, gives life to all, and is aware of all, but does not live in all - especially those who reject him and his revelation to mankind.
For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. Romans11:36
33 O the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! how unsearchable are his judgments, and his ways past finding out!
34 For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor?
35 Or who hath first given to him, and it shall be recompensed unto him again?
36 For of him, and through him, and to him, are all things: to whom be glory for ever. Amen.
So obviously here in a better context he is talking about everything including wisdom and knowledge comes from god. he is not saying he lives in satan.
yet for us there is but one God, the Father, from whom all things came and for whom we live; and there is but one Lord, Jesus Christ, through whom all things came and through whom we live. 1Corinthians 8:6
3 But if any man love God, the same is known of him.
4 As concerning therefore the eating of those things that are offered in sacrifice unto idols, we know that an idol is nothing in the world, and that there is none other God but one.
5 For though there be that are called gods, whether in heaven or in earth, (as there be gods many, and lords many,)
6 But to us there is but one God, the Father, of whom are all things, and we in him; and one Lord Jesus Christ, by whom are all things, and we by him.
Once again, talking to believers possessed by the holy spirit - but agrees that all things were made and have life because of God, doesn't mean he dwells in everything by his holy spirit.
For as woman came from man, so also man is born of woman. But everything comes from God. 1 corinthians 11:12
Never was there an argument if everything came from god...
For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him.He is before all things, and in Him all things hold together Corinthians 1:16-17
Yes, he gives life to everything. Already acknowledged.
And more verses:
Do not I fill heaven and earth?" declares the LORD. Jeremiah 23:24
We could say much more and still fall short; to put it concisely, "He is all." Sirach 43:27 <---what the hell is this?
"The God who made the world and all things in it, since He is Lord of heaven and earth, does not dwell in temples made with hands; nor is He served by human hands, as though He needed anything, since He Himself gives to all people life and breath and all things;and He made from one man every nation of mankind to live on all the face of the earth, having determined their appointed times and the boundaries of their habitation,that they would seek God, if perhaps they might grope for Him and find Him, though He is not far from each one of us;for in Him we live and move and exist, as even some of your own poets have said, 'For we also are His children.' Acts 17:24-28
All are "children" of god in the way that he brought all into existence. However Satan has children, too of whom god does not possess by his holy spirit. Maybe study the unholy spirit and who is possessed by it.
All of these verses can be taken as just a single line and made to say what you want, however in their context it is made clear that God made everything through Jesus by the power of the holy spirit and is omnipresent. The idea that everything is possessed by God is much like the indians in america said everything was a spirit or god. He gives life to everything and keeps everything together, but god does not live inside the children of darkness. He created them, but they are possessed by a different spirit - the unholy spirit.
Jesus said to him, "I am the way, and the truth, and the life; no one comes to the Father but through Me.John 14:6
Therefore Jesus said again, "Very truly I tell you, I am the gate for the sheep.John 10:7
I am the door; if anyone enters through Me, he will be saved, and will go in and out and find pasture.The thief comes only to steal and kill and destroy; I came that they may have life, and have it abundantly.John 10:9-10
Jesus said to her, "I am the resurrection and the life; he who believes in Me will live even if he dies,and everyone who lives and believes in Me will never die.John 11:25-26
I don't know what any of this proves? Of course the only way to the father is through the word, a part of god much like described in john 1:1. But jesus is only a part of god, hence he didn't know when his return would be (not i nor the angels but only my father in heaven knows) and god could never die on a cross!
Hmm..
And He said to him, "Truly I say to you, today you shall be with Me in Paradise."Luke 23:43
So where was Jesus talking about when he says 'Paradise'?

How did Samuel know the going-on's of Saul's kingdom? <--God doesn't have enough power to reveal this to him?
The bible contradicts itself many times. <--especially when taken out of context.
