In international politics, does world-wide presence mean great power? Not necessarily.

Apple and Oranges, xzins. We're not talking about international politics. We're talking about Almighty God. If you want to start limiting His attributes, you'll get no sympathy or agreement from me.

Actually, if you'll reread the piece by Boettner you'll see that it is Boettner who appears to limit God's attributes.

He is the one who says that God can't know the future except via his omnipotence. Boettner is the one who discounts God's omniscience.

Just read the excerpts that lead off this thread. I've underlined the relevant comments by Boettner.

I am the one who believes that all of God's attributes are independently "all" without reference to any of the others.
