It is not the form the wiki page describes as to fall into that form that God must be all powerful all the time. As I pointed out true power of being what He describes as the alpha and omega allows God to be as strong or as weak as He deems it necessary, freeing him from the confines of the R/C doctrine that defines your wiki page version of omnipotence.(June 26, 2018 at 11:54 am)Drich Wrote: well one, I don't know anyone who would disagree that God could do anything He wants to do. again.. that is the definition of alpha and omega.
Quote:The omnipotence paradox is a family of paradoxes that arise with some understandings of the term 'omnipotent'. The paradox arises, for example, if one assumes that an omnipotent being has no limits and is capable of realizing any outcome, even logically contradictory ideas such as creating square circles. A no-limits understanding of omnipotence such as this has been rejected by theologians from Thomas Aquinas to contemporary philosophers of religion, such as Alvin Plantinga.

Can God create a stone so heave he can not lift it? an omni max God is stuck while an alpha and omega does whatever he wants.. Can he create a stone that heavy? yes if he wanted to no if he does not.

God is not giving anyone anything. Theists are merely illogically attributing their "good" or "lucky" lives to a being that does not exist.
I beg to differ.
Everything I have is a gift from God.
It's not luck. you are awarded 2 US patents by being lucky. those patents are not then bought and put into production because you are full of good fortune. Mind you I'm the one who could read past a 4th grade level upon 'graduation.' Math was equally a mystery. My first job was a janitor at a tire shop, because they thought running the tire machines (typically held over for pot heads and recovering meth addicts) was too complicated for me. From then till now still no school or formal training. learned how to read from comic book/taught me how to visualize the words into literal pictures. once I could picture something I owned it. I could take anything apart and put it back together. Now God interjects those pictures. like for instance my first patent.
I was brought onto a project that has involved a prior 6 month collaboration between a military batter company and a italian refrigeration company trying to make an all electric unit. the problem is they could not get the battery technology to direct power and communicate with the italian refrigeration system. I the first 15 minutes as the two engineer teams (the american side had former nasa guys and the italians had their equivalent here they are asking me a franchise holder for the refrigeration company who has had no schooling what I thought/most of them thought I was a joke) but as they were laying out the problems I had alread deduced the problem and God gave me a picture of the solution. and i literally out of a vacuum wrote down what I saw electronically into a rudimentary diagram and as the first team ended their list of complaints I handed the lead engineer my paper. It had a list of perceived problems and the wiring solution. no crazy electronics just switch and relay. the engineers originally booked at the idea then I walked them through everything. we made several small changes to accommodate lighting and switch configuration.
The Head us guy said it would take 100's of thousands of dollars to prototype nd a year of testing. thanks but no thanks. Then God put a list of all the items I needed in my head most of which I could get from a air force surplus electronic store we have locally. I piped up and said I could do this for 500 bucks and a weekend. The owner of the company produced 500 as a bet that I couldn't do it. meaning I had till monday to get the prototype working from a late friday meeting. The italian engineers offered to help I told them to have a nice weekend at disney, but the project lead stayed he said he would not interfere at all just need to watch. so from the meeting we went to the store spent about 300 of the 500 and went back to my shop where I put the whole thing together over a late friday and all day saturday. it ran all saturday night and sunday. we then drove the truck over to a meeting with the remaining engineers and showed them that we could in fact run a 230/3/20 amp truck on battery power for 4 continuous hours then when plugged in sense the polarity and charge itself. then I told them I could double the efficiency (give them 8 hours for 1000 dollars more) they wrote me a check I promptly order a 75.00 part changed the refrigerat and the oil to a mid grade gas, and it pulled to temp twice as fast and ran on the same batteries for almost 8 hours continually. They could not believe it. they all thought it was impossible. so then they tested the system for a month no faults which is absolutely unheard of so the sold 5 to test market in NYC home food distributor who was being fined a million dollars a WEEK because the refrigeration systems they were using were breaking the noise/time restrictions in manhattan.
So they bought 5 to test run. they sent them over to the local dealer, he could not figure it out. so they sent the battery guys, and they insisted that I be apart of their crew. I went over for 5 days and got 4 units running. they ran without problem for 1 year. then that company order 25 more... which at that project was sold and I got my end and that's the last I heard of it.
So the total cost was 375 if your keeping count. at the end I told the guys this and they said money well spent/keep it.
None of that was me. you know when something like that is yours and when it just appears from nothing. this one deal totally changed my life and my company. I've had several other like this. and I know it was all well beyond my scope.
No one like you will ever convince me there is no god and He does not give His children gifts. I've met the deity and i have been given far more than I've every deserve. again just one example, and if you want to come to orlando to vet my story I can take you to all the places and people mentioned.
