Well, this is how a theist explains how God could be omnipresent, while avoiding pantheism. God has to operate everywhere without being only nature. God has to encompass nature without being limited to nature. So God sustains the universe as something supernatural. God intervenes in nature from a transcendent position.

Christianity may explain this with the Trinity. Part of God is imminent, such as Jesus and the Holy Spirit, and part of him is transcendent, namely the Father, Logos, or Creator. Of course, that ends up being polytheistic, so the Christian would be saying that some gods are imminent while others are transcendent. Saying they're one and the same is only the mind-numbing affirmation of a contradiction.

I agree there are contradictions throughout these conceptions of God. But there are usually reasons why theists resort to these contradictions.
