jim, if God is not omnipotent he is not God. He is God, therefore all powerful, all loving, all seeing, all knowing. God is positive, not negative, not neutral. |

Yes omnipotent. But perhaps not always omnipresent - after all how can God be acting through us when we sin, for example, where was God when Maddy McCann was taken in Portugal? In fact God cannot even look at sin with any degree of tolerance, therefore at these times He retreats leaving our, at times, viscious free will to surface. Dear God the Blessed Trinity, please reunite Maddy safely with her parents as soon as possible. Please keep her safe from danger and harm and please send many many loving angels to protect her... In Christ Jesus Amen. |

Emee He is always present. it is we, through our free will, shut Him out. Reminds me of that very simple Prayer "Footprints." On seeing just one set of footprints The Lord said "That is when I carried you" |

Putting the "Fun Dame" into Fundamentalist

God is omnipresent, therefore He's present in Hell in a sense too. Though souls there are not in His presence! Now I'm confused! :blink: Clare. |

Emee/Alan....we have here to ask can that which is fallen,warped,defective really have real freewill-I still contend we as humankind[as Adam]had free freewill but is now no longer totally free for as St.Paul says even about himself "for the good that I would do that I do not but the evil that I would not that I do"-JIMC1 |

It is worth noticing and remembering that the Catholic crucifix has two sides-one side has Christ crucified and the other side has Christ risen-jimc |

jimc please let me know by private message why you think a Catholic crucifix has Christ crucified on one side and Christ risen on the other side. I need to understand the meaning of your posting before opening this up to discussion. |

Has anyone heard it said again and again that Christians,Jews and Muslims worship the same God viz the God of Abraham-this is true and also untrue for the God of Abraham according to the O.T.is a triune God-any guesses where it says this-have a guess whilst waiting for the answer-jimc |

Christ Jesus as a JEW said about the Jewish scripture Scholars of His day "ye do err not knowing the scriptures-it seems they still either do not know that their scriptures tell of a triune God as the God of Abraham or is it that they do not want to know "for He came unto His own and they knew Him not"-jimc |
