If the Christian God is Omnipotent

Why are human's making choices and will be held responsible for them?

Revelation 22:12
And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.

Most Bibles do not use the word omnipotent, but omnipotence can be interpreted (if one wants) from several verses.

Some however, the kjv and derivatives do use the word once in Revelation 19:6

Because in God's Omnipotence, He decided to give man free will. Is He not Omnipotent enough to do that?

Why is the premise worded that way? Your definition would make the premise question different. Why is the premise question asking about 'the christian god', if your definition is the meaning?




You asked a question
I answered it
You insulted me based on your ignorance of me
I responded quite politely given the circumstances
You insulted my intelligence without giving reason
I laughed at your ignorance (later editing the post asking for your reasoning that must have been to late to catch your response)
Your response makes no sense in relation to your original question that i first replied to
Who is the "christian god"?

So please offer your reasoning that the christian god is not the god of the christian bible?

But not omnipotent
actually yes it is. hate engenders hate but only love can overcome hate. that is why it's called the golden rule.

love does no harm, and doesn't allow others to harm. self control is greater than controlling another. we can be our own best friend and our own worse enemy. one leads to self-realization through love and the other to self-destruction via hate..

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.”

Sun Tzu, The Art of War

Very pretty but do you actually understand the meaning of omnipotent?

Omnipotent : having unlimited power.

Unlimited : not limited or restricted in terms of number, quantity, or extent.
Essentially infinite

Power : the rate of doing work, energy over time

evidently time has been recently proven to flow backward and forward infinitely; so if you can't measure something its generally not limited, or unlimited.

Thats not what the article says

It says that under certain manufactured conditions. By manually reversing the spin of neutrons heat can flow in the opposite direction.

"That has important implications for our understanding of time and its relationship to entanglement and entropy. “Our results on the thermodynamic arrow of time might also have stimulating consequences on the cosmological arrow of time,”

This is an amazing reasoning and I completely agree with every word you say. Although when it comes to God being omnipotent, he is; because Love is omnipotent. But we can't blame God for what the human mind and body does, for all the violence that exists. God can only love, support, and accompany people in their journey through life. And that love which is God should encourage us to overcome hate.
