God Is Omnipotent Part 2

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 18, 2001

This continues part 1 and deals with some very specific things the Bible says that God cannot do because of his nature and will.

Contributed by Dr. Ronald Shultz on Dec 18, 2003

Take the whole package and then take the package to Jesus instead of UPS or back to Wal-Mart.
