>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.>

Remember when you were a child and you would reason through something using the knowledge you had at the time? Your conclusion made perfect sense at the time, but because you only had a little knowledge, it was totally wrong. Even so, that probably didn't keep you from arguing why you HAD TO BE CORRECT, and the rest of the world crazy. That's how it is when you try to understand God. If He is really omniscient, omnipotent and omnipresent, we can't understand any of those because we have no frame of reference. I can't answer how God can do those things, and I'm glad to have a God who is greater than my capacity to comprehend.

I often think of His power when I'm out hunting, hiking, fishing or just observing the world around me. John Denver wrote a song that said it best for me - "You Fill Up My Senses." When you are in the Rockies or on the ocean, they fill your senses to the point you have no choice but to focus on them. There's nothing like watching the Perseid meteor showers in the Rockies in August from a mountaintop. How can a person not believe in God after seeing that?
