No, omnipresence cannot be limited to one point in space and time as you are attempting to do, pay attention please.
Quote: I could say anything is in the jar, and depending on what properties I feel like imposing on the object I say is in there, its equally indiscernible from reality or existance. Your God claims are merely an example of the types of claims I could make about the contents of the jar. Nothing you assign to your claims of God correlate with reality or experience.
Not true at all, the existence of my God makes experiencing reality and gaining knowledge possible, no other object you could postulate existing in the jar would do so.
Quote: Simply insisting that its true because I can't disprove it, is an argument from ignorance, which is the basis of your claims. So if you're searching for an applicable fallacy, One need not look any further than the contents of your posts.
I have made no such argument; my argument is that the very act of proving anything at all presumes God exists ahead of time. That is not an argument from ignorance at all; it’s a totally valid form of argumentation.

Looking back I feel I worded that wrong. What I was told was that the original texts were true, but that most of the errors pointed weren't critical anyway.
Sure, but Christians do not believe the originals had any errors; those are introduced later because of the copying process. Although the actual number of meaningful textual variants in later manuscripts is quite remarkably low.
