Is it true that God is omnipotent?

According to traditional Western theism, God is maximally great (or perfect), and therefore is omnipotent. Omnipotence seems puzzling, even paradoxical, to many philosophers. They wonder, for example, whether God can create a spherical cube, or make a stone so massive that he cannot move it.

What is omnipresent God?

In Western theism, omnipresence is roughly described as the ability to be “present everywhere at the same time”, referring to an unbounded or universal presence. Omnipresence means minimally that there is no place to which God’s knowledge and power do not extend. We do not want to say that because God is infinite.

What does it mean for God to be omnipotent?

Omnipotent is from the Latin omni- (“all”) and potent- (“power”), and when the word is applied to God, it means He is “all-powerful.”. If God is the Creator of all things (Genesis 1:1), it follows that He must have power over all things at all times. God is free to do anything He wants, and He has the power to do it.

What does it mean that God is omnipresent?

To say God is omnipresent means He is present everywhere with His whole Being at all times. The prefix omni- comes from the Latin word meaning “all.”. Many religions believe God is everywhere at one time. However, the Bible specifically teaches that God is both everywhere at once and transcendent (above all) or outside of His creation.

What are some examples of God’s omnipotence?

A good example of God’s omnipotence is in the name el shaddai , which means “self-sufficient” or “almighty.” God’s power is unlimited. A proper definition is given by Thiessen: “God is all-powerful and able to do whatever he wills. Since his will is limited by his nature, God can do everything that is in harmony with his perfections.” 1

What does the Bible say about omnipresence?

Jeremiah 23:23-24 23 “Am I only a God nearby,” declares the LORD, “and not a God far away? 24 Who can hide in secret places so that I cannot see them?” declares the LORD. “Do not I fill heaven and earth?” declares the LORD.
