Quote:Are you prepared to ditch omni-benevolence? Is it "non-doctrinal"?
Show me where this term is used in scripture. For that matter, show me where any of the "omni" aspects of God are identified in scripture.
Because they contain truth the Omni aspects of God can be used to describe various personality traits of God. Because they are not Identified in scripture. the 'omni' aspects of God can not be considered "doctrinal truth."

Why would I care? I'm just wondering whether or not you, personally, can confidently profess that your god isn't omni-[whatever].
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

You've misunderstood me. It matters very little to me whether or not religious scriptures make any given claim. It was a pretty straightforward question.

It was a pretty straight forward answer. I represent the bible not a specific brand of Christianity. Therefore I seek biblical truth/doctrinal truth over the efforts of a given brand of Christianity. This includes the teachings of the omni aspects of God as being represented as Doctrinal truth.

So that's a no-go then, your god isn't omni -whatever-, correct?

We are not launching a rocket. Take another look:
Because they contain truth the Omni aspects of God can be used to describe various personality traits of God. Because they are not Identified in scripture. the 'omni' aspects of God can not be considered "doctrinal truth."

Truth, but not doctrinal truth, hmn, sounds to me like you're being intentionally evasive. Willing to discard this when it is problematic, yet equally willing to claim it in the "my god has a bigger dick" contest that we see all too often.
