Yes, man will eventually experience omnipresence just like God does. However, I feel man should be in heaven to experience this. It's not possible to experience it on earth or in hell.

I don't believe that part. I believe that the omnipresence of God is owing to the fact that the Spirit of God is everywhere. Despite God having very nice plans for us to be like Him and represent Him, there are limitations, that much always be recognized

This is a weird one because everything people say will happen after death is pure speculation. Even if it's written in the Bible, people on Earth do not know for sure what will happen after death. So, everything is pure conjecture.

I think it's a little bit presumptuous to claim that we will have the same omnipresence of God. Wouldn't that just make us like God? But that is not our purpose in heaven (according to the Bible). Maybe we will achieve greater understanding and the ability to comprehend more of what exists in the grand scope of everything. But I think expecting to become like God in this way is a little arrogant.

I do not believe that there would be anything else after we die such as eternity. But assuming such were to happen, to gain knowledge in that manner would be chaotic for all beings. It is simply far stretched. Man cannot reach the level even if there was an afterlife.

Yes, I feel like that is the end goal for all religious Christians. It will make everything worth it

I don’t think, following the authors argument about a day of judgement, that people will be omnipresent in the same way as God. I think people would perhaps be aware about how their choices affected the lives of others they’ve known, but not have the same omniprescence.
