How can a god, that apparently loves everyone, allow this kind of thing to happen?

[John V]

You guys also need to consider if your position on omnipotence is ad hoc.

I'm the one going by the dictionary definition. You're the one claiming that omnipotence doesn't mean "all-powerful" because the bible says there are some things that God can't do.

1. As noted, most English translations say almighty. Might can indeed agree with your usage, or it can be limited as I propose (dictionary definitions have been posted). Therefore we need to look to the context to determine which is intended. I provided a passage which supports my position.

2. Regarding the ad hoc question - answer it. Can a Christian refute a charge that omniscience precludes free will by saying that god is also omnipotent, and so can do anything, including the logically impossible?

3. The guy who needs pictures is usually losing.
