God Paradoxes

...
The out here is, God is said to be a different order of being than the material Universe.

So that does not apply to God. It's special pleading, but that is all they have.
Of course, it's a fundamental requirement in my experience. Without special pleading there could be no god(s)...ah, wait....
 
Omniscience presupposes foreknowledge of the actions (and sins) of everything which will ever be created. It nessessitates predestination and, I should think, a pretty bored God.

And if one takes it back to before there was a universe, you know, when there nothing but 'the void', then "God" elected to create a universe in which all that has occurred or will occur, (as of today), was known to "God". Being omnipotent, "God" would have had the option of making a universe with a very different history. So regardless of the existence or not of any kind of so-called freewill for humans, it was "God's" option in the first place which led to whatever transpires - knowingly and avoidably by that god. That means that "God" is the responsible for all that was, is, or will be, both good or bad.

That is if there exists a god that has the properties of omniscience and omnipotence, as described hereabouts in this thread.
