Hi everyone. Again, I would just like to insert this at the start of this post to emphasize that I am sincere in my respect for the fact that everyone has beliefs, or lack of, and I am not here to cause upset, intentionally offend anyone, or cause any other bad feelings towards anyone. This post in entirely serious and I would appreciate some sincere, serious insight in return. Like I said, I'm just a guy.
Okay so please, from the get-go, forgive the childish analogy. I don't feel it needs to be dressed up, sexed up or sugar-coated to get my point across. I'm sure this question has been asked before, or this observation pointed out, but it hasn't for me which is why I'm asking and I hope it will be well received, and with patience.
If god is omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent - if these are his qualities, as told to man from god, how does this work. Again forgive the immature example here - I was asked a question a while back, quite simply: can god create a puzzle so complex that even he cannot solve it - the paradox immediately became clear to me. I'm hoping someone can shed some sensible light on this for me. If the answer to that - and it could of course be replaced with endless example or scenarios - is yes, then this disproves his all-powerful ability, if the answer is no, then the result is the same.
Not it's not the question itself, my confusion comes from the concept of god being those three things, among others of course, but the all powerful and all-knowing clash with each other fiercely. Why would god have made it known that these were his qualities (if I'm mistaken here I apologize) and create such a conundrum for people like myself?
As I say, it's not my intention to offend, it's my intention to understand. Thanks
