God everywhere; things in God; Parmenides answered

But God is said to be everywhere to the measure of our grasp, when rather things are in GOD, from whom, through whom, and in whom are all things in Romans 11:36 and Acts 17:25, 27-28.
Parmenides argues: If the One is, it is not in itself, nor in another.But that does not strike us, because we say God is in Himself according to our mode of understanding, and we explain it negatively: God is in Himself, that is, not in another.Yet Jeremiah 23:24 also attributes to God that He fills heaven and earth.Scripture teaches both, because each sense is true: that one worthier of God, this one more fitted to our intelligence.
Latin
Esse autem ubique dicitur Deus ad modulum captus nostri, cum potius res sint in DEO, ex quo, per quem et in quo omnia, Rom. XI.36. Act. XVII.25,27,28. Parmenides arguit: Si unum est, non est in se, neque in alio. Sed illud nos non ferit, quia Deum dicimus esse in se secundum nostrum intelligendi modum, et exponimus negative, Deum esse in se, id est, non in alio. Jeremias tamen etiam XXIII.24. Deo tribuit, quod caelum ac terram impleat. Utrumque vero Scriptura docet, quia uterque sensus est verus: ille dignior Deo, hic vero intelligentiae nostrae convenientior.
