I think &quot;the popular God conception&quot; isn&#x27;t quite internally consistent, at least not the Christian view. We throw around words like omnipotent, yet clearly worship a God bound by certain laws. If not, why would He have to sacrifice His son to redeem us, if He had all power?<p>I do not believe in a omnipotent God, who lives without restriction and can act arbitrarily. I do believe in one that does His best to help His children become like Him.<p>I think that principle is necessary to believe in order to arrive at a palatable solution to that question&#x2F;problem. Any more than that and I&#x27;d probably qualify as &quot;preaching&quot;.<p>I do think it&#x27;s a possibility that people never consider though.
