and just for hte record bob- omnipotence doesn’t mean ‘able to do all things’- it means power over disorder- everythign in this world is in an ordered state after disorder was conquered, everythign we know of relies on order- God overpowered disorderorder in order to create. His omnipotence doesn’t mean He is capable of everything- Atheists like to ask the silyl questions assuming that omnipotence must mean the ability to do everythign and anything, and htis is a false strawman silly attempt at trapping Christians to make hteir God look foolish- yet it is very clear that there are soem thigns that God simply can not do, and most of the silly atheistic questions posed to Christians are nothign but speudoquestions that assume there must be two aspect of God if God is to be truly omnipotent in their eyes- If they understood what true omnipotence means, they wouldn’t make the silly mistakes of askign psuedoquestions that assume God is capable of everything ‘or else’ He must not be God. His very Godship demands that His supremacy inhibit disorder as a result of His actions

They're simply setting up a set of conditions that cannot be met, even by an omnipotent God, as an excuse for rejecting Him. *He can't do whatever He wants so He's not so much of a god, is He? Who needs a god like that? He's no better than us.*

God cannot change because He is perfect and changing would render Him imperfect. Which raises an interesting question. If you were perfect would you want to change?

Or... If you were perfect why would you want to change?
