New Year Resolution

No one really keeps their new year resolutions, you'll make it to April tops. I stopped NYR years ago, this doesn't mean I don't set goals, actually I set really big goals around Dec 31. I know what your thinking "well that's a NYR"- but it's not. What I am avoiding is the thought that a new year is possessing some mystical power to make me reach some new objectivity. I don't crutch on such ideas, rather I look at the end of a year instead of a new year. I reflect back on the year and continue, improve, or author goals based on that. The feeling of a new year is refreshing and used as an opportunity NOT a motivation. The motivations come from within me, I do not outsource them to the excitement of a new year that is long pass new once March rolls by.

Omnipotence Paradox

Nonsense does not suddenly acquire sense with the addition of the two words, "God can" before it.

I do Not believe in a Omnipotence God, sorry to those of you who hold onto your bible screeching as I say this but I don’t.

Here is another blasphemy: I don’t believe the scriptures are Omnipotent. Scripture is MAN’s writing of Godly things, revelation is like taking Van Gogh’s Starry Night and making a xerox copy of it. Revelation still exist within the limitations of memory, knowledge, and culture.

God is circumscribed by logic

Now lets not forget we are dealing with language, a very flawed system compared to the workings of nature and God. None the less God wont do something ill-logical because he chooses, not because he can’t. Just the same as he can’t lie, or even more profound God in his “omnipotence” can not save us. Christ can but God can not.

So "Can omnipotent being create a stone so heavy that it cannot lift it?" Answer: No

My logic for God is not based on omnipotence but rather his authoritative power to govern, he speaks and the elements obey him. He warrants Honor from the Universe. We as his offspring are place in circumstances that allow us to act against that honor with own free will, at the same time obtaining the skills needed for his stewardship
