No1. Omnipotent

No4. All-loving
Is God:
1. Omnipotent
2. Omniscient
3. Omnipresent
4. All-loving
1 John 4:16:4. All-loving
The only way those four ideas are incompatible is if you for some reason believe that love is to have absolute control over people, for their own safety, of course.
I can give a passage I think for #4:
For God so loved the world he gave his only son.....
I'd have to look it up though. Hope that helped and I'm sure others will answer better than I have
1 John 4:16:
"God is love. Whatever comes from love, comes from God."
Omnipotence and omniscience are integral to omnipresence --it's really one idea, the idea that "God" is everywhere, is the 'beingness' of everything, and knowledgeable of its being. In the omni-all image of God, "God" is the love, the lover and the lovee all in one.Is God:
1. Omnipotent
2. Omniscient
3. Omnipresent
4. All-loving
If yes, can someone give me specific passages from the Bible?

You realize that this statement is contradictory with the attributes you just said God has, right?If you allowed you son to give his life for others, would that not show an all-loving attribute, John 3:16??? Imagine watch your precious son being tortured to death, with you having the power to stop it, but because God wanted His creation to have an opportunity to live forever in a paradise earth, He allowed His son to give his life for a world of sinful mankind, John 10:11-18, Matt 20:28.
- If an all-loving God would stand by while His son is tortured to death, He is not omnipotent.
- If an omnipotent God would stand by while His son is tortured to death, He is not all-loving.
A truly omnipotent God would be able to create a way to save humanity without anyone having to suffer. A truly all-loving God would choose such an option if it were available to Him.
There is lot of stuff that doesn't make sense about the christian god. Like mass blood shed in his holy name, the fact that we are one tiny planet in a huge galaxy where there are several suns, moons and planets. There is no explanation of this in the bible. We are all the divine and the divine is within us. Christianity in order to prove its own point killed many off as heretics. The old religion, paganism is what truly makes sense, their law being, harm none and do what you will.
And yes the divine is omnipotent, omnipresent, and omniscient, however there are negatives and positives in everything, even the divine, as above, so below, we create our own thoughts, beliefs and therefore experiences.
What came out of the Jewish Holocaust?It would be impossible for the Christian god to be all four of those seeing as god didn't do anything to stop the holocaust, but will kill someone for talking back? Yeah, I know that might seem like a week argument, but only an apathetic unloving god would standby and let his so-called "chosen people" do be mistreated in such a barbaric and inhumane way.

World wide genocide comes to mind rather quickly.I'm am just wondering, what exactly are your reasons are for rejecting God as being all-loving?
The Bible does not support the theory at all.What are your reasons for rejecting God as being omnipotent?
From various Christians.Also, what do you mean by God being "all-loving"? And where do you get your definition of God being "all-loving"? And how do you know that God's decision to save humanity in this way (through His Son dying on the cross) was not the best way?
