I guess god not being omnipotent explains why he doesn't have the ability to exist.
He wasn't omnipotent back then. You see, when Yahweh got started as just a volcano god of some obscure wandering tribe, one of many in a pantheon, He was powerful but with limited abilities. Eventually, He pulled himself up by His bootstraps to become the only one in His pantheon.
Quote:Genesis 2:2 And on the seventh day God ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his work which he had made.
The Lord needed a breather. I forget which verse it is but I remember reading later in the OT how Yahweh recounts that He was "refreshed".
The Bible later declares Yahweh is as mighty as a unicorn.
Quote:Numbers 23:22 God brought them out of Egypt; he hath as it were the strength of an unicorn.
Unicorns (or "wild ox" in the more modern translations) are powerful but not omnipotent.
Over time, he leveled up and got more and more powerful as a god until finally becoming omnipotent in the NT.
Quote:Revelation 19:6 The Lord God omnipotent reigneth.
I guess omnipotence is something you get as a 20th level god.
