How far reaching are God's powers?

It must be good to know "Truth".

It is, but rest assured that I suffered intensely before the Truth was made known to me. That's how it must be for the vast majority of us, if not all of us. So in a way it wasn't good at all...but overall it's certainly worth it.

I'm starting to think you are delusional.

People who have lived long enough to recover from teenage Jesus Camp experiences normally learn a little nuance about their religion.  They realize that the bible has contradictions, ancient story, myth.  They realize that the answers that the bible gives are often not sufficient to explain life with respect to a modern education.  They often find that they stop worrying about what their pastor says about what God allegedly thinks about their neighbors and just start living life as a human being.

The Bible only has contradictions to those who lack understanding. False "Christians" have done a great deal of damage to people through things like "teenage Jesus Camp" and the church system, which is the synagogue of Satan.

You do yourself no favors referencing modern education, however, as though it's worth a damn. Human beings have such little understanding of things like biology, geology, etc., that all they've done is tricked themselves into explaining God away with supposedly sophisticated theories. But God makes foolish the wisdom of the world.

I must've missed what sort of congregation you follow, and where you get your theological education.

As for "modern education", do you have one?  I can tell you that science works as a methodology, and that scientific theories really do make testable predictions about the world.  None of those theories requires God as a hypothesis.  You can console yourself with bible verses, but ignoring reality is evidence of delusion.

So, let me get this straight.  Grand Nudger is going to the Pearly Gates, and God will say "MilesAbbott81 gave you a perfect cogent explanation, but you didn't believe it.  You didn't believe it, not because it was nonsense, but because I didn't want you to believe it.  I get a kick out of this sort of thing.  Go to Hell!".

You come across as very young and naive in your faith.

Did I ever say that? Grand Nudger has no interest in my explanations because he has no interest in God. His interest lies only in resisting God, and that is why he won't, or rather can't, understand me. He is a vessel of dishonor, destined for destruction until the Lord decides he has suffered enough. That may happen in this world...it may also not happen until the next. That is up to God.

You may not realize this, but some people here know a shit-ton about theology and bible.  I was a Christian for many years, and I read and studied not only the full bible, but the associated theologies.  Nothing you have said is new to me, though you are not on the mainstream path. 

You aren't convincing anyone here because your arguments don't actually explain anything.  We've heard them packaged in various forms for a long time.

I think you are just a young zealot, and you have a lot of learning and growing-up to do.
