Didn't you tell me I had to apply logic to it? The logical thing to do with anything you don't know to be true is to assess its truth externally. And almost all of it fails this. So sorry, I couldn't care less what it says.
A bit of advice for you, maybe you could own what you are saying as your beliefs, rather than stating them as fact?
I could say the same thing for you. Need I remind you, it is you who first said that the verse means God spoke of some supposed impotence without clarifying it was your opinion?
I can certainly take the time to preface every statement I make with "according to my beliefs..." if I must, but I would've thought that was obvious.
And still, it is not wise to assess truths by the external when referring to a book that is chock-full of all kinds of metaphors. It's an extremely complicated book, and making such a careless assumption as you have done kind of tells me you probably do not even have a basic understanding of it.
Know the source material if you want to argue about the source.
