Is God omnipitant?

Answer 1

If he is, he's certainly not benevolent. Does god do things because he's benevolent? If yes, then what he wills is because he's right. but...

If he's benevolent, how could he allow 6 million of his chosen people to be incinerated by Hitler, or why did he allow Truman to vaporize 200,000 Japanese men, women and children or Stalin to kill 30m Christians? If he was also omnipotent AND benevolent, then these events could not have happened.

If you counter that man's "free will" caused those events to happen, so don't blame God, then can it be said God is not omnipotent AND benevolent, because he allowed man's free will to reign?

And further, the mere existence of evil in the world makes the existence of a benign god impossible: if god were omnipotent, he could eliminate evil and if he were benign, he would want to do so...another way of saying this:

If god is able to prevent evil but is not willing to prevent evil, then he is not benevolent.

If god is willing to prevent evil but is not able to prevent evil, then he is not omnipotent.

Evil is either in occordance with god's intention or contrary to it. Thus, either god cannot prevent evil or he does not want to prevent evil.

THEREFORE, it follows that god is either not omnipotent or he is not benevolent. He cannot be both omnipotent and benevolent.

Answer 2

Since God is the Creator of all that exists, God must be Omnipotent.
The definition of the word "Omnipotent" determines the answer to the question.
If it means "can do anything" then some people would say that the bad things that happen in the world demonstrate that God must not care (the God is dead Movement). This analysis usually ignores that our definition of bad may not be the same as God.
Being able to do anything does not mean that one can do all things that potentially could have happened. Some things like grow and shrink are mutually exclusive.

Answer 3

Of course! How else does a creator create creation?
