Sin
Isn't it a bit presumptuous of us to think that by our actions we have an effect on God's temperament? That by sinning we can evoke disappointment or even wrath? This would mean that we hold a power over God, and, therefore, that he is not omnipotent. Again, it seems a bit presumptuous of a fairly insignificant creature such as humans to believe they have power over the God that created the Universe and everything in it.

You're right that we don't have power over God, but our tiny lives aren't entirely insignificant to Him. Only when compared against Him. He created us, after all, because He wanted us and loved us. That doesn't sound like insignificance. And despite his omnipotence and omnipresence, He is an emotional being, so our choices and actions can affect Him. That is not power over Him, it is merely life. It's all a series of reactions, whether they are the reactions of termites, kitty cats, humans, or gods.
ReplyDeletewhether you sin or not it does not affect God. He has set the rules, and if you do not follow it, then he will implement the rules accordingly. And you probably know the rules.
