This is impossible because of the problem of evil. If God is omnipotent and omnibenevolent, then evil would not exist. If he allows evil but has the power to eradicate it, then he is not omnibenevolent. If he wants to eradicate all evil but can't, then he is not omnipotent.
Christian apologetics is the art of rolling a dog turd in sugar and selling it as a donut.
