ArchivedAngels bow to Adam but Satan refuses, its a apocryphal story
Hardly! God can not go against His own nature. When commanding such thing, HE HAS A NATURE HE CAN NOT GO AGAINST. The Bible says God is Truth, thus God can not lie. God can not make sense out of nonsense. He can not draw a square which is at the same time a perfect circle because the definitions of each are contrary to each other. For example, the questions concerning God's limits lead up to the one which asks, can God make himself human? The answer is no IF one means a human with ONLY human attributes. According to Christian thought, this is not how Jesus existed. Jesus, one person out of the Godhead, took on the form of a human, without destroying his God nature. Thus we speak of Jesus having two natures, one human and one of God. How this exactly worked, only Jesus experienced it so only He could say. Christians also believe that Jesus voluntarily put aside use of his God nature and gifts, unless directed by the God the Spirit to do so. It is for this reason Jesus, as a human could say He did not know the day of his return. I believe that had the Spirit of God told Jesus, "It is now ok to access the knowledge you have laid aside" Jesus could of gave an exact time and date of his return when asked. I would recommend that you get a copy of Essentail Truths of the Christian Faith by RC Sproul. It is a handbook on Reformed Theology, where topics are covered in one or two pages in easy to understand English. The Omnipotence of God is covered on pages 39 and 40. Page 39 talks about false dilemmas. It also states, "The Bible indicates several things God can not do. He can not lie...He can not die. He can not be eternal and created. He can not be God and not God at the same time and in the same respect. He can not command things that go against His nature. What omnipotence does mean is that God holds all power over his creation. No part of creation stands outside the scope of His sovereign control. |
