A god incapable of making mistakes could not, by definition, be omnipotent.

Sorry, just occurred to me Big Grin

A prime example of one of the arguments Smile

And on the other hand, an omniscient god (i.e. one with perfect knowledge) would seem incapable of making a mistake.

No theist I have ever talked to about this issue sees a paradox here, naturally.
Omnipotence, Omniscience, Omnipresence and Omnibenelovence do tend
to contradict one another don't they?

If a god was omnipotent, it would be able to create a task it could fail it. If it was omniscient, benelovent and present, it would be willing and able to prevent evil. If it was none of these, why believe in it?

What is his excuse? Being a pagan? Or simply being alive nearly 2000 years earlier? Tongue

Don't sweat it, ya gotta be insane to work that stuff. I'm all certified. Wink

Come to find out, it's all mathematical concept. It originates from "divine fools;" a.k.a. the insane. Processing simultaneity. They called it "god" because they had no real concept of time and mathematics.
