Also and for the record, that claim came after I'd said I had not represented the bible at all, and was an entirely different context. Since I was referring to the lie I had misrepresented what the bible said about omniscience and omnipotence, when in fact I'd made no comment whatsoever about what the bible claims about either.
And yes, I agree, splitting rabbits...
To reiterate, and in response to @TheWhiteMarten's original claim, I find the notion a deity (omniscient or not, omnipotent or not) can create everything, then have no culpability for any of the outcome, palpably absurd.
FWIW, the bible has passages that certainly assert the deity it depicts has literally limitless power.
For example "Luke 1:37: "For with God nothing is ever impossible..."
And the same is true of omniscience...
"Psalm 147:5: "Great is our Lord, and mighty in power; his understanding is infinite"
Job 11:7-9: God is infinite, meaning that there are no boundaries on His qualities and existence
But hey what do I know, I am just an "ignorant moron" apparently.
your claim that God cannot violate the law of noncontradiction
Quote:your claim about omniscience and omnipotence fails.What claim, please quote the post and embolden it.
