A Problem with God

[Robbo]

Well the problem depends on personal opinion; there is nothing tangible that can prove the paradox one way or the other - which brings me back to what I said earlier, religion is about faith.

Tek, faith has nothing to do with this problem mate.

Well it kind of does because the answer depends upon knowing something intrinsically about god, which you can't - hence faith.

Okaaaayyyyyyy.............

Unless of course the entire point of this is theoretical, therefore it isn't faith but rather proof which is needed.

Go to the top of the class young man !!!!


......As you ask, does it count if god is the only one aware?

If you think about it Duncan, I am suggesting me and you are now aware of this limitation he might or might not have, and even though we might not have a specific example to work with, we do however have a theoretical one and on that basis, 'yes', it does count if God were to be the only being after the rewind to be aware because it's been flagged up now, no matter what God does subsequently.

that being said this would mean this answer is kinda a kick in the teeth for belivers then as that pretty much means God is not omnipotent only supremely powerful which is a major step down in power.

Well, he wouldn't be God then; so they would either rework doctrine or simply claim that he is not the true God seeing as he is not omnipotent.

Bejeeepers Tek, you now put yourself above god in attempting to define him??

Whatever next ????

You can have a logical proof as against an experimental one and theoretical debates are all about the former.

Obviously this is denomination dependant but lets just go with Protestantism for now; by definition God is omnipotent - all of Christianity upholds this fact, not I alone.
