Originally posted by KellyJayI've tried that for 2 years, you only capitulated for the first time yesterday. Perhaps you feel I should only respond to you when you hand out your occasional titbits of information?
What you are asking? You don't know, you cannot read my mind,
you may actually have to get my opinion before you start telling
me what I'm thinking and trying to say?

So, I'll ask you again, is or isn't your God omnipotent?

as you tell me about what I'm thinking about this, that, and the other
thing. You want to know what I believe, ask point blank, and you will
not have to assume, or attempt to read my mind. I don't respond
to your 'thoughts' as you attempt to read my mind, I cannot just
know what it is you want to know unless you make it quite clear! I do
not have the the ability to read minds, nor do I desire to guess what
it is you are trully interested in finding out, unless you tell me strait
up I don't know.
He can do everything that can be done, none can resist Him, or hinder
him when He chooses to act.

don' t have a clue what others believe you don't want to.
edit:
With regard to the first time you asked, I was being a smart a$$ to
you. I'm sorry, I was reacting out of emotion not what you were saying.

there are things He will forget and not remember any more.
Isaiah 43:25

Originally posted by KellyJayWhat part of "He cannot deny himself" seems to lend itself to an equivocal stance on whether or not God can deny himself?
If your going to question points and apply scripture to a discussion
you should at least get some that apply.

Is there even a single translation where it's translated "he doesn't choose to deny himself?" In every translation I find, the statement is that God does not have the ability to do anything counter to his nature.
It's not choice; it's a limitation of agency.
