The Highway Forums General Discussion Theology Discussion Forum Does God force men to sin?

How so? Are you willing to be consistent and suggest that man also possesses Omnipresence, Omniscience, Aseity, Immutability, Simplicity, Invisibility, etc. along with Omnipotence? Does not Scripture attribute to the infinite God certain qualities and attributes which man does not have from the simple fact that man is finite, a created being?

Every one of God's attributes is identical with His being: God's attributes do not differ from His essence nor from one another. He is what He has. When we speak about creatures, we distinguish variously between what they are and what they have; e.g., a human being remains a human being even though he has lost the image of God and has become a sinner. But when we speak about God, we must maintain that each of His attributes is identical with His being. God is all light, all mind, all wisdom, all logos, all spirit, etc.
