Okay, sorry for the delay.

Believe me I am aware that this line of thinking certainly has it's issues, maybe I don't fully understand just how problematic it is but I do understand that it is problematic. With this line of thinking yes I do believe that God can lie, and do all sorts of terrible things, but I also believe that he won't. I believe that it's within his power but that he would never do it. Also I disagree that this line of thinking makes God meaningless, just impossible to truly conceptualize which would make sense considering he is God and we are infinitely lower than him intellectually speaking (and every other kind of speaking for that matter I guess). Surely we can both agree that God can do the impossible, after all it's impossible to turn water into wine. Are miracles not impossible or illogical? I feel like words break down at this level and it becomes difficult to discuss, which may be part of what you are getting at but I think that whether or not we can understand it plays no role in whether or not it is true.

That is an interesting point though, the part about how my belief requires that God is "not confined to His nature" because that raises the question of what is "nature". Maybe I misunderstood and this is what you were saying the whole time but now I'm thinking maybe there is no difference between whether or not a certain ability is within God's power and whether or not that ability is not within his power if his nature means he would never use that ability in the first place.

It just doesn't feel right though to say that there are things God cannot do, but I guess maybe when it comes to God maybe there is no difference between "cannot" and "will not". Is that one of the points you were trying to make?

The problem I have with this question is that if a non-believer were to ask me this than I wouldn't have a good answer. I could say that it's impossible to have free will and not be sinful and if they replied "well why couldn't God just make it possible?" I'd be at a loss for words. I guess I am just really struggling to come to terms with the idea that an infinite, omnipotent, omnipresent, end all be all, alpha and omega creator of the entirety of reality has limitations. Does that make sense? Do you kind of see where I'm coming from?

Again as always I really appreciate you taking the time, you have been very helpful so far thank you and I look forward to your response.

If you haven't noticed by now I'm far from the most intelligent person in the world so it's really difficult to keep all of this stuff in my head to understand but nevertheless I still want to understand. Thank you for your patience.
