Question Everything
why is god always discribed as
omnibenevolent
omnipotent
all knowing
all these things create paradoxs that make it imposible for there to be a god
for example if he/she was all knowing than he would know the beginning and the end of everything and never have to actualy create anything.
since we are here either god is not all knowing (wich would make him not a god) or there is no god
What does all powerful mean? Does it mean that He can create a rock larger than He can move? Does it mean He can create a square circle? He cannot do some things - not because He is not all powerful, but because some things are literally impossible to do. He cannot both give us free agency and force us to only use it for good as an example. All powerful means IF it is possible, He can do it. However, it must be noted that not all things are possible to do.
What does create mean? To me, it means organize, form, as a potter forms clay. You might say an artist created a painting. Did the artist make the paint? Create the atoms? No - He formed, organized, but we still say he created it... We say the creator is present in their artwork - you can see the mother in the daughter - I think this is what all-present means. Not that He is physically present (or He would not have to "go down" to check on Adam and Eve - He is present in a different way. He has organized / formed a lot of what is, and so you can see His handiwork in a lot of what is.
