God’s Qualities- How These Are Questioned Flashcards
(4 cards)
Omnipotent
If God is omnipotent or powerful, he should easily be able to deal with all suffering and evil, and get rid of it. God could have also all created the world without suffering and evil. God actually may not be all powerful or even actually exist.
Omnibenevolent
If God is Omnibenevolent ,all loving, there is a question about why God would make us suffer. There is the argument that God may not be all loving because it doesn’t seem right to hurt those you love.
Omniscient
God is said to be omniscient ,all knowing, meaning he knew what was going to happen and how to prevent it. God will know about suffering and evil, and does nothing so he may not exist.
Omnipresent
Some argue that omnipresence might limit God’s ability to act freely or that it contradicts the idea of God’s distinct existence from creation.
