Q

a way Christians can describe god (omni word)

A

many Christians would describe god as omnipotent. they would find evidence to support this in genesis. here it describes how god created the world. this would suggest that god is all powerful as he had the power to create the world and all that is in it

Q

another way Christians would describe god and a problem with it

A

one way Christians would describe god would be that a creator. he is the creator of the universe and everything within it evidence to support this argument tht god can be described as a creator can be found in the bible where is states in the beginning god created the heaves and the earth (genesis 1:1)

however some athiests may state that this argument stating god as a creator is flawed as there is scientific evidence that god is not the creator and the world was in fact created by a big bang. this big bang theory is further supported by red shift which can still be seen by some scientists today
