If God knows what we are about to do, and he is omnipotent, he has the ability to stop us. We are not free, God is simply allowing us to act in a certain way.

What is the euthyphro dilemma?
Is something good because god does it, or is God good because he does it?
15 of 28
Explain why something being good because God does it is bad (M'Kay)
Because anything God does, even evil would be deemed as good. Good becomes an EVIL ARBITRARY, it is ruled as right with no reasoning.
16 of 28
also, explain why God being good because he does something good is also bad.
Because God is then ruled by good. he cannot to what is not good.
17 of 28

21 of 28
Explain God's immanence.
god is everywhere, he is on earth, in time.
22 of 28
What problems are there with that then? Think genesis.
How can he have created the universe? a man outside of a box can't paint the outside.

Now, think about immutability and give us another potential problem.
If God is inside of the world then time must affect him, or he is not fully in this world.
24 of 28
Now, your favourite one- Explain God as eternal
God has always existed and always will exist, outside of time.
25 of 28
might not want this one in the exam, but think of a contradiction to that.
Nothing can come from nothing-God must have had a cause.
26 of 28
God as everlasting. Bring it home.
God has existed for all of time.

Now beat that definition with an iron pole.
God would be contingently dependent on time, he would not be omnipotent.
