Is there evidence of something beyond nature?

If God can't do all things, then he's not omnipotent. Ipso facto.

It would be against God's nature to even entertain such a meaningless question.

You've made your personal decision, you deny the existence of God. Somehow you still have to discuss and attack this being in which you're positive doesn't exist though.

Carry on. You're just one of the many controlled by the antichrist spirit (per scripture) which have made the same mistake for quite a long time now.

Meaningless babble. Is God omnipotent or not?

Why does people try to play word games as if God is that satellite in the original Star Trek where Kirk convince it was not perfect.
God is omnipotent except when it comes to contradicting the meaning of omnipotent.

p.s "God is omnipotent" like everything else when in comes to language has to be put in context. It like the verse I can do all things through Christ which strengthen me needs to be put in context. It doesn't mean as a random event I can jump off a 100 story build and fly like Superman.

When you decide who/what created all things, we'll talk. K? :thumbsup:

The meaning of omnipotent is the ability to do all things. That's literally what the word means - 'all potential'. If a being is limited, he is not omnipotent. Plain and simple. You can't say God can do all things, then turn around and list things he can't do.

Also, thinking more on this, why is free will good, from God's standpoint? If free will is what makes sin exist in the first place, and God abhors sin, why does he endow beings with free will at all?

What God do you believe in?

Sure it's relevant, very relevant. You're wishing to discuss a non-existent (in your view) being. A wisp of nothingness.

I never said God didn't exist. But even if I did, people discuss fictional beings all the time. It's quite common. Disbelieving the existence of a being does not mean that I'm barred from discussing the attributes such a being would have if it existed.

We have to first determine what non-existent being you believe in.

We don't have to do that at all. I don't need to believe a being exists or not in order to discuss the properties typically assigned to said being. I don't have to believe Huckleberry Finn was a real person in order to write an essay on Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. I don't have to believe animals can talk in order to discuss Animal Farm.

Like I said... bad plan.

Why then did he throw him down to earth and the garden, where he could wreck havoc on mankind for thousands of years???

A simple rule which God already knew before hand they would disobey.

Really? Thousands of years to let the "perfect" creation sit in satan's hands???? That's God's plan????

Maybe I am just wiser than the writers of GEN? Or more likely, maybe I am just wiser than you. You, who is misinterpreting GEN.

Thanks for the opinion of yourself but I will side with Moses, the prophets of various biblical writings and Jesus himself who all treated and presented Genesis as I am doing.

The wise person studies God's word.

Then write an essay on the non-existent God.
