God's Limitations

Contributed by James Lowe on May 3, 2007

There are some things that God limits Himself to.

God’s Limitations To most of you this title may seem a little improper. How could an Almighty God have limitations? Do we not teach that God can do anything? After all, God is omnipresent (everywhere at once), omnipotent (all-powerful), and omniscient (all-knowing). So if God is all of that, ...read more

But it is not necessarily because Jesus is at the center. The Christmas season malls, stores, Wal-Mart, even many ...read more
