God, who is omnipotent

Bottom line: God is omniscient, not omnipotent.

Really? You have an affidavit to submit to the court about this? How impotent is God, exactly? Sufficiently impotent that there's not point in praying to Him--everything is out of his hands?

Or is God just a wee bit impotent?

From laredo44: "Bottom line: God is omniscient, not omnipotent."

It's a sad day. Christians are all mixed-up because they don't know their own Bible...nor, it seems, the attributes of their own God:

"...the only usage of the word in Scripture is found in Revelation 19:6 "And I heard as it were the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters, and as the voice of mighty thunderings, saying, Alleluia: for the Lord God omnipotent reigneth."

"None of the attributes has God taken to Himself, all of His perfection is what God is. If but one attribute were found missing from God, God (as we perceive him to be) would not be. God is the total of perfection. If any part were missing, perfection would be deficient and consequently void..."

Perhaps a little study is in order. This might be a good place to start.
