God is Good 

We’re using the book “Handbook of Apologetics” by Peter Kreeft and Ronald Tacelli to go over the arguments for the existence of God.  We will now begin covering the attributes of God.  Dr. Kreeft teaches logic in two major universities, so his arguments tend to be clear, concise and very helpful.

This week we’ll go over God is Good:

To say that God is omniscient and omnipotent means that there can be no real barriers to God’s knowing or acting. Apart from himself, God has created everything there is to be known and sustains it in being. So is it conceivable that there is something he could not know or not have power over?

It is impossible to think of something as thwarting God’s will, unless God himself allows the thwarting—as in the human free choice to sin. But that is a circumstance that requires omnipotence, and therefore is not an argument against it.
