God's Nature and character

July 30, 2014 at 2:29 pm

I've heard from just about every apologist that God is omnipotent, as long as it doesn't conflict with his nature and/or character.

This leads to a question.

Where does God get his nature and character from?

If he provides himself with his own nature and character, why can't he change them?

You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.
