Question: Do you believe God is Omniscient and Omnipotent? IOW Can He see/know everything? Does He have the power to do anything and everything? Is He everywhere? At all times?
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Yes I believe He is both. Ask me how, and I'll tell you I don't know. Then again, any god I could fully understand wouldn't be much of a god, would he?
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Now I'm confused. How can He be both? If someone's omniscient then he/she can see everything, so the future is no mistery as it is all seen and planned in advance, right?
If I'm omnipotent, then I can do whatever I want with no limits. So I can change the future. But if I do, then the future I 'pre-viewed' has been changed, so I didn't foresee I'd change it. So I'm not omniscient.

If I'm omniscient, then it follows that I cannot deviate from the future I've seen, so I have that limit, so I can't be both omniscient *and* omnipotent. It's either one or the other as they are mutually exclusive. It's simple logic.

Remember what happens when an inmovable object encounters an irresistible force? Same thing. It's an impossibility. Both cannot exist in the Universe. Either one or the other, and of course there is a third alternative: neither.
