Yes, otherwise the Final Judgement could be flawed. The Bible couldn't be interpreted as accurate, whether you expect it to be literally true or not. In Christianity God is perfect and therefore omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent.

That may be the theory. However, the text of the Holy Bible does not apply the word omniscient to God. And God states that he has regrets, indicating He may have made a mistake. I am not going to jump to conclusions and assume God is omniscent without sufficient evidence. The fact that He can predict some future events is not good enough for me.

Then you have a contradiction. If God is not perfect then the bible can be flawed, in which case your evidence for God's lack of omniscience is flawed.

You have a different concept of perfect from me. When Jesus told his listeners to be perfect after giving His famous sermon on the mount, I don't think he equated that to being omniscient.

Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect.

(Matthew 5:48 KJV)

One of many. The whole christian theology is full of contradictions and paradoxes.

But they chose to close their eyes...

Then, maybe God is omniscient and I just don't SEE it that way.

The paradoxes in your religion are still there, even if you change your mind.

I am sure changing my mind would also be a paradox to you. Now there is wisdom.

I would reformulate my posting if i were you.

To: "There is no wisdom in my mind, only paradoxes."

Now you finally made a real paradox. For how could there be no wisdom in my mind when I am just full of wise witty sayings?

Only morons think they are wise.
Wise men don't pretend.

Is God omnipotent, in your view?

Yes. I believe the Holy Bible says God is all powerful and one has to be pretty powerful to make the sun and stars as if there is nothing to it. So I believe that qualifies as omnipotent.

Omnipotence implies omniscience.

Not really. Omnipotence has to do with power. Omniscence has to do with knowledge and wisdom.
