I hear statements too often that begin with "God cannot" or "God can't". It's unsettling.
When I hear, "God can't help you if you...God cannot interfere with human will. - (the last one I read online somewhere)", I wonder if such statements reflect lack of faith in God's actual power?
How is it that we as believers, who often quote "I CAN do all things through Christ Who strengthens me," are able to limit God by stating He CANNOT do something? I know that Scripture tells us He cannot lie. But it's not in the context of inability but more in context of His absolute choice. Ex: "I cannot bring myself to lie to my kids." It's not that I have no ability but I strongly choose not to and stand by that."
When we very casually say God can't, don't we contradict our belief that God is omnipotent?
