Ominpotence is an attribute of God which describes His ability to do whatever He wills and pleases, whenever He wills and please, to whomever He wills and please, wherever He wills and please however He wills and please, withou gettong permissison from ANYONE!
He cannot do anything contrary to His nature as God, such as to ignore sin, He cannot sin, nor can He lie, or do soemthing absurd or self-contradictory.
God is not controlled by His power, but has COMPLETE control over His power otherwise, He would not be free a being. Akthough the word OMNIPOTENCE is not found in the Bible, the Scriptures clearly teach the OMNIPOTENCE of God. The all mighty power of God can be found throughout the Bible through His might powerful acts (work) Job chapters 35-42.
God has infinite power and has the power to do with power all that power can do. He controls all power that is, and can ever be. There is no other power that is power without the power of God giving permission to it to have power.
Ella there is a spiritual principle, that answers the lie that satan is on a leash with the lord, and it is in the hearing, if man agree with a topic long enough, even if it be in error, it will always come out in the distortion man gives to the word.
2sparrow, help me out here what you mean by this, its early in the morning for me...lol
You said , "Yes, but remember God has to always stay true to His nature." I got lost in your comment because you agreed with what I said, but you turned around and added a BUT remember God has to stay true to His nature... this confused me because my commet states that because of God's nature, He cannot sin, which is againstt His nature... so what am I missing up in your comment? Thanks. did I leave something out, or you got more to add?... c'mon share!
PJ, since you are one of the ones who don't believe that satan is powerless when it comes to God, and since you have not answered the question I posed in my comment. Do you think you can EXPLAIN those principles you're speaking about? What are those principles you are speaking about, that I, and I'm very sure everybody is missig and have need to know. This is a need to know....
Also, PJ... while you're explaining, please explain and include the meaning of 2 Thessalonians chapter 2, with Biblical knowledge and understanding, as to your spiritual understanding and using those same principles you speak about, as to what Paul is speaking about in this chapter. Thanks...
Right, Dennis, if God is soveregin that's mean He has ALL POWER and CONTROL over everything He has created in heaven and on earth, under the sea everywhere, God kicked satan out of heaven as an angel, so if God had power to kick satan out of heaven and satan is a 'HAS-BEEN" angel, I don't see why God still doesn't have power and control over him. Satan onlyh as power because he was an angel, which God gave to him in the first place when he lived in heaven.
Yes Ella, God is sovereign, and in that sovereignity he said satan is the god of this world. Now you would ask for support to agree with you but I have always been in fellowship with those that teach the word of God.
God is no less God because you say so, My bible teaches that God is love and he sent his son to the world as a man, because it was a man in a human body that had to defeat satan, you have actually said on this forum that Jesus came because of Sin in lieu of what the bible teaches on the subject.
It is your free will acting as though you can believe as you will.
1Co 15:24 Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.
Mt 28:18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
Pj, you tend to always contradict yourself in many things related to the word of God.
If God gave Jesus ALL POWER, that means Jesus has ALL PWOER over everything God ahs LLA POWER OVER, and that also includes satan and his kingdom. God has ALL PWOER OVER EVEYTHING IN HEAVEN, ON EARTH UNDER THE SEAS UNDER EARTH EVERYWHERE! ALL UNDER CHRIST' FEET including satan is under His feet. What part of satan's defeat don't you understand, that took place at the cross? What opart of God being in total control of ALL THINGS NOT JUST SOME THINGS BUT ALLTHINGS do you not understand? Satan is a defeated foe! He only has as much power over the things on earth because PEOPLE are easily influenced by sin, and satan uses PEOPLE do do his will, juts as God uses people to do his will. The only difference God DOES NOT necessarily need anyone to do anything for Him, but becasue satan HAS NO PWER, he needs people. PERIOD! He has no power other than what God gives to him and allows him to have, which extends from satan being an angel, you do know angels have power, but is only what God gave them.
BOTTOM LINE, SATAN'S EMPLOYER IS GOD! :purpleangel::purpleangel::angel:
Bottom line is Ella why do you not understand, i did not contradict myself one time, maybe you did not rightly divide the word, until you repent of the lie satan is on God's leash. you will not see the truth.
Rightly divide Ella that is what is spiritual!!..........
Mt 28:18 And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying, All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth.
Mt 28:19 Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost:
When did Jesus make this statement?
All power is given unto me, after his resurrection, then he delegated to believers go ye, did he not.
Now rightly dividing satan is still God of this world!!!
He is still god of the lost!!!! he still dominates them!!!!...
He will dominate christians that do not know this truth, and understand it.

This statement in 1st Cor has not happened yet.
Authority is and always was on the earth in an earth suit,
Is Jesus on the earth?
Did not the early church deal with satan all thru the book of acts.
I have answered this several times and i will SAY IT AGAIN I SAID THE AUTHORITY IS GIVEN UNTO THE BODY OF CHRIST, THAT IS THE SPIRITUAL ANSWER, ALL ELSE IS CARNAL!!!
STUDY THE FIRST THREE CH OF EPH.
BY THE WAY YES THEY DID, THE CHURCH DEALT WITH SATAN BUT YOU WANT US TO BELIEVE IT WAS THE FATHER'S WORK.
