Quote:It really says something about his apparent omnibenevolence then, doesn't it? You'll have to concede that he's not all-loving or that he doesn't exist (as per the OP) if he really is all-loving and wishes for every human to be able to go to heaven.Concession made. I've argued against omnibenevolence myself. Hard to get omnibenevolence from the flood.
Quote:I'm not required to prove it or show what this way is.If it's a necessary premise of your argument and you want your argument to stand, then yes, you need to support it.
Quote:God, being omniscient, already knows this way.Again, this statement presumes such a way exists.
Quote:If by "proven" you really mean to say it needs to be shown that it's something possible, then by definition it must be possible, because God in his omnipotence would find it possible, unless he isn't omnipotent. These two attributes he has means there is a *possible way*, unless of course you want to concede that he doesn't have one or both attributes.Here you'd need to support that the Bible asserts that God is omnipotent by this definition of omnipotence. It doesn't.
