You're...just continuing to dump bullshit without bothering to clarify or respond to our questions and concerns.

I'll try once more, then I give up.

Is God omnipotent?

If yes, where do these arbitrary restrictions come from that he has to work around, that we must suffer and be tested and all this stuff before he can do what he wants to do? Omnipotence means he can remove these barriers surely.

If he's not omnipotent, fair enough, he is bound by some weird rules and can't change them. How did these rules come about, are they just "there"?

They come from God's reality.

If you mean can do anything then no. If you mean can do anything that is logically possible, then yes.

So there's arbitrary rules that are just "there". And why can't he remove them? Why is that not logically possible?

As opposed to all sort of laws coming about in the universe. As opposed to all sorts of laws that are there in the universe that are just there. Yes God's Logic and his nature was always there, and God being the True Living one, by which all life derive from, yes, he is the source of the laws of logic and the nature of praise.

Just off the top of my head...being able to keep track of the thoughts and feelings of 7 billion individual people, answer prayers, create the universe and the laws of phyics, shephard atoms to form planets and stars and galaxies, all whilst fighting the infinite armies of evil does not to me sound 'logically possible'. If he is able to do all this, he must therefore be omnipotent, or so damn close to it that 'a gnat's pube difference' doesn't even cover it.
So if he is omnipotent, why does he therefore choose to play these childish games with humanity?

They are not arbitrary. They are derived from the true living reality (God) by which all life get's it's existence from.
