Is the bible God omnipotent?
    #11511348 - 11/23/09 01:59 PM (14 years, 3 months ago)

In, Hebrew 6:18 It says "it is impossible for God to lie"
God cannot be omnipotent and at same time have no ability to lie.

Judges 1:19

The LORD was with the men of Judah. They took possession of the hill country, but they were unable to drive the people from the plains, because they had iron chariots.

If the omnipotent God was with these men, why were they unable to drive the people out of plains?

Does God have the ability to destroy himself?

If yes, he cannot be omnipotent because he can be destroyed/
If No, he cannot be omnipotent because he is unable to do so.

It's like explaining a square-circle.

Unfortunately these examples, even piled on top of each other, never crush the thick skulls of true believers. Perhaps I'm pessimistic. After all, I'm basing my opinion on a small sample of the hundreds of millions of Christians on Earth...

The Lord works in mysterious ways.

Same question perhaps. 'Omnipotent' means able to do whatever. So, god being omnipotent can do the impossible... can do what can't be done, so to speak. Whatever god is, if 'it' can do the impossible, then that is what god is.

I know, it's a silly reasoning. But come on, 'omnipotence' is shear madness... the implications of being omnipotent are totally absurd. For example god could be 'temporarily' not omnipotent... just for a while...

'Omnipotence' is not feasible imo, not even for god.
