This means he has the power to prevent anything from happening, no?It's all a spelling mistake by St. Augustine. He meant to say that God is "Omni-impotent", but he was distracted by the voices in his head and wrote "omnipotent".
Is he omniscient? Again, your religion says so. This means he knows about everything that is happening, right?
Is he benevolent? This one is stressed a lot by christers. Apparently he loves us all and has our best interest at hand, correct?
If he is omnipotent and omniscient, he cannot be benevolent, because he does nothing to prevent the human suffering.
If he is omnipotent and benevolent, he is not omniscient, because he does not appear know about the human suffering.
If he is omniscient and benevolent, he is not omnipotent, because he does nothing to prevent the human suffering.
