Might be a little too sublime for a preteen. I didn't appreciate it till I was older.

Sirsesan:


It is the combination of omniscience and omnipotence that contradicts free will.

God's omnipotence means that he had the power to design the world such that every human would make any particular set of decisions every step of the way. By designing the world the way he did, and having the foreknowledge of every single one of the trillions of trillions of decisions that would be made based on each detail of design, god necessarily determined (and effectively decreed) every single one of those decisions that every human would make. The only way he could not have is if he temporarily restricted his own omnipotence and/or omniscience at the point of creation. There seems to be no credible theist who has provided evidence that god turned down either of those characteristics.

[The bible doesn't support any claim that God tone down his omniscience ability for FREEWILL. Is like shifting the goal post when a goal is about to be scored.]

I feel you aren't explaining this within the confined of the scriptures. If you do then you are doing it in isolated theology. The scriptures must not be taken as abstract knowledge where you pick a word or text and give it an isolated meaning from its surrounding explanation and by extension the whole book.

Hence to give a meaning to such concept as omnipotence from Bible perspective you must put it within the explanation of other concepts taught in the scriptures.

For example, you can't teach God's omnipotence outside his being a Just and Righteous God. If you do, then you will only end up with illogical explanation and abstract theology which I have seen in many response here.

The same Bible that you pointed to in speaking about God's omnipotence, same told you God is Just and Righteous hence, they must be put together to identify the true attribute of God.


Your explanation of God's omnipotence from the scriptures left other undeniable attributes about God in the scriptures. Hence, you won't arrive at the scriptural answer.


Few of the several questions a Bible student will ask in handling the concept being discuss will include.

1. Can the one who desire to exert his omnipotence always be a Just one at the same time?

2. Can a Just and Righteous God also insist on his omnipotence in all thing?

3. Can you love and still stands to exercise your omnipotence at every given opportunity to the one you loved?

These and much more are critical questions to examine before you can come to conclude on the concept of omnipotence as taught in the scriptures.

I promise my Lord. I will try really hard to get out of my Orolu Kingdom and visit you in FCT. I got an op in March. It would likely be sometime after then.

It would be an honour to meet you.
