Originally posted by DoctorScribbles If God is omnipotent, then one of his powers must include a sort of ventriloquism that can speak to human ears. Thus, your argument that his natural voice is outside of our capacity to hear is irrelevant.
I never said that God is omnipotent. How would I know that? God is the essence of perfection. Does one need to be omnipotent to be perfect?

You first have to tell me what perfect means.
But then of couse I can ask you, Does God have to be perfect?

I don't think I have to tell you what perfect means; it is not truly an ambiguous word. I will anyway though: devoid of fault or corresponding to an ideal standard.
To adress your second question we would have to examine the possibilities for the purpose or position of God. The way I see it, He is either the image of perfection or he is an actual Lord of all people in a real and quite political sense. Sinse I fail to see any evidence of the latter--not withstanding all the Bible worshippers who will jump on this and say that the sacrifice of Christ is proof--it seems to be the former.
Originally posted by DoctorScribbles If it's not ambiguous, then why did you have to ask me if it entails omnipotence?
Now your're just being difficult. That's okay, sometimes I enjoy being difficult too. I asked you that to inquire of your opinion. It is my opinion that is does not.
