The Spirit of Truth-
Good day Fr. Abe. Bajalina again here...
I read in one of Eli Soriano's websites saying that there is one thing that GOD cannot do and that is "GOD CANNOT LIE OR DECEIVE HIMSELF." They base this from the scriptures....
“That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie..." (Heb 6.18)
"In hope of eternal life, which God that cannot lie, promised before the world began.” (Titus 1.2)
Eli says that those who say that "Nothing is impossible with God" are misled. Because of this premise, he would imply that if one would say that ALL things are possible with God, logically does it mean is it possible that GOD can lie or deceive itself?
Because we as Catholics believe that God is omnipotent, ominiscient and omnipresent. In particular omniscience of God, if there is God cannot do and that he can deceive himself, then the doctrine of omniscience can be in question or would it be so?
And how can we say about the verse from the scriptures that all things are possible:
"Nothing is impossible with God..." (Lk 1.37) on the Annunciation story
"What is impossible for men is possible for God..." (Lk 18.27)...
Will it contradict GOD himself as all-knowing?
Hope all who read your answer on this comment will be enlightened.
God Bless Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam...

[Good day Fr. Abe. Bajalina again here...]
GOOD DAY TOO.
[I read in one of Eli Soriano's websites saying that there is one thing that GOD cannot do and that is "GOD CANNOT LIE OR DECEIVE HIMSELF."]
IT ONLY SHOWS THE STUPIDITY OF MAMA ELI THE HOMOSEXUAL RAPIST NOW HIDING ABROAD FOR FEAR OF ARREST.
FIRST, HUMAN BEINGS' ACTION IS BASED ON 'CAN DO' AND 'CAN'T DO'. WHY? BECAUSE WE ARE WE RELY ON PHYSICAL ABILITIES. THERE IS AN EXTENT AND LIMIT OF WHAT WE CAN DO AND THEREFORE THERE ARE THINGS THAT WE CAN'T DO.
THAT PRINCIPLE IS PROPER ONLY FOR CREATURES AND LIMITED BEINGS BUT NOT FOR GOD. BECAUSE IMPERFECTIONS IS A SIGN OF WEAKNESS. DOING EVIL SUCH AS LYING, DECEIVING, STEALING ARE NOT MANIFESTATION OF POWER, GREATNESS BUT OF WEAKNESS.
NOW GOD IS PERFECT, ALL POWERFUL AND ALMIGHTY. SINCE HE IS PERFECT THERE IS NO EVIL IN HIM. THUS THE ABSENCE OF EVIL IN HIS BEING IS ACTUALLY THE PROOF OF HIS PERFECTION AND SUBLIME GOODNESS NOT A SIGN OF WEAKNESS. COMMITTING SIN IS NOT A POWER TO DO BUT INABILITY TO DO.
WHAT IS STUPID IN HIS ASSERTION IS THAT HE IS APPLYING TERMINOLOGIES PROPER FOR CREATURES TO THE CREATOR. HIS REASONING IS EVIL AND DEFECTIVE. FOR INSTANCE, GOD CANNOT LIE WHILE MAMA ELI SORIANO CAN LIE. SO WHO IS MORE POWERFUL BETWEEN GOD AND MAMA ELI? IF WE WILL FOLLOW HIS PRINCIPLE OF 'CAPABILITY' AND 'NON CAPABILITY' THEN MAMA ELI IS BETTER THAN GOD. THE DOG IS CAPABLE OF DYING AND GOD IS NOT CAPABLE OF DYING, THEN THE DOG IS BETTER THAN GOD IF WE WILL APPLY THE STUPID REASONING OF MAMA ELI.
PERFECTION AND ULTIMATE GREATNESS IS SHOWN BY THE ABSENCE OF WEAKNESS AND OF EVIL FOR THAT GOD IS PERFECT, THE GREATEST BEING AND THE MOST POWERFUL OF ALL BECAUSE THERE IS NO EVIL OR WEAKNESS IN HIM. THERE IS NO LIMITATION IN GOD: HE IS INFINITE IN TIME [ETERNAL] AND INFINITE IN SPACE [IMMENSITY].

[They base this from the scriptures....
“That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie..." (Heb 6.18)]
IT MEANS THAT GOD IS PERFECTLY TRUE. TO BE A LIAR IS NOT A SIGN OF POWER BUT A PROOF OF WEAKNESS. GOD IS MORE POWERFUL THAN MAMA ELI WHO IS A LIAR.
THE REASON WHY THE WORD IMMUTABLE IS USED IN GOD. BECAUSE WE HUMAN BEINGS ARE 'MUTABLE', WE ARE CAPABLE OF CHANGE: ONE TIME TELLING THE TRUTH AND ANOTHER TIME TELLING A LIE. GOD IS IMMUTABLE IT MEANS HE IS UNCHANGING... HE IS TRUE YESTERDAY, TODAY AND FOREVER. THAT'S THE REAL POWER THAN BEING CAPABLE OF LYING WHICH IS NOT POWER BUT WEAKNESS AND STUPIDITY.- TELLING THE TRUTH AND SPEAKING A LIE IS ACTUALLY ONE ACT ONLY, THAT IS, SPEAKING. THE DIFFERENCE IS NOT ON THE ACT BUT ON A QUALITY OF THE ACT. ONE IS TRUTHFUL WHILE THE OTHER IS DEVOID OF TRUTH. SINCE GOD IS TRUTH THERE IS NO LIE PRESENT IN HIS ACT OR HIS SPEECH.
["In hope of eternal life, which God that cannot lie, promised before the world began.” (Titus 1.2)]
IT MEANS THAT GOD IS CONSTANT IN BEING THE ULTIMATE GOOD AND THE SOURCE OF ALL GOOD. IT ALSO SHOWS THAT GOD IS TRUTH ITSELF AND CONSTANT IN HIS BEING TRUTHFUL.
THE CAPACITY TO LIE AS IN THE CASE OF MAMA ELI WHO IS HIDING FOR HOMOSEXUAL RAPE IS A SIGN OF WEAKNESS. THAT IS ONLY PROPER FOR IMPERFECT AND SINFUL BEINGS.
[Eli says that those who say that "Nothing is impossible with God" are misled. Because of this premise, he would imply that if one would say that ALL things are possible with God, logically does it mean is it possible that GOD can lie or deceive itself?]
HA, HA, HA... THE MORE HE SHOWS HIS STUPIDITY. BECAUSE EVIL IS NOT A 'THING'. EVIL IS NOT SOMETHING. EVIL IS NOTHING. ONLY GOOD IS BEING WHILE EVIL IS MERE ABSENCE OF GOOD.
GOD CAN DO 'ALL THINGS' MEANING GOD DOES EVERYTHING GOOD AND PERFECT. THE IDIOT DOES NOT KNOW THE MEANING OF THE TERM 'GOD CAN DO EVERYTHING'. IT IS VERY FAR FROM SAYING: 'GOD CAN DO EVIL'.GOD CAN DO ALL THINGS YES BUT WE DO NOT TEACH THAT GOD CAN DO ALL ''EVIL'. LYING IS NOT A THING IT IS MERELY AN ACT THAT IS DEVOID OF TRUTH. WHAT EXIST IS THE SPEECH NOT FOUNDED ON TRUTH. WHAT ARE THE THINGS THAT ARE REQUIRED FOR SPEAKING? MOUTH, TONGUE, LIPS, VOCAL CHORDS, ETC. GOD CAN CREATE EACH OF THEM. SO HE CAN DO ALL THESE THINGS.
LYING IS NOT A THING. IT IS A MERE ABSENCE OF TRUTH IN A STATEMENT UTTERED.
[Because we as Catholics believe that God is omnipotent, ominiscient and omnipresent. In particular omniscience of God, if there is God cannot do and that he can deceive himself, then the doctrine of omniscience can be in question or would it be so?]
O NO, NO, NO... MAMA ELI IS AN IDIOT IN PHILOSOPHY BECAUSE HE IS A HIGH SCHOOL DROP OUT. HE DIDN'T STUDY LOGIC. HA, HA, HA..
FIRST, OMNIPOTENT MEANS GOD IS THE MOST POWERFUL. NOW, LYING, DECEIVING, STEALING IS NOT POWER BUT WEAKNESS. SO, THE TERM OMNIPOTENT MEANS GOD IS DOING ALL THINGS WITHOUT EVIL. THE TERM IS ACTUALLY SUPPORTIVE OF THE BIBLICAL VERSES. WHILE THE TERM OMNISCIENT MEANS GOD KNOWS EVERYTHING. BUT WHAT IS THAT KNOWLEDGE? IT IS FULLNESS OF TRUTH. DECEPTION IS NOT TRUTH SO THERE IS NO DECEPTION IN GOD. IT MAKES GOD BETTER THAN THOSE LIMITED BY THE EVIL OF LYING AND DECEIVING.
[And how can we say about the verse from the scriptures that all things are possible:
"Nothing is impossible with God..." (Lk 1.37) on the Annunciation story]
IT MEANS TWO THINGS:
1. EVERY 'THING' IS POSSIBLE WITH GOD. WHEN WE REFER TO THINGS IT IS NOT JUST CONFINED TO MATERIAL THINGS BUT IT REFERS TO EVERY BEING... TO ALL THINGS THAT EXIST. GOD CREATED EVERYTHING THAT EXIST.
2. 'NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE WITH GOD' MEANS WHAT IS CONTRARY TO THE BEING OF THINGS HAS NO ROOM IN THE VERY LIFE OF GOD. EVIL SUCH AS LYING, STEALING, DECEIVING ARE NOTHING, i.e., they are mere absence of things that are supposed to be there. INDEED, IN GOD NOTHING DOES NOT EXIST BECAUSE HE IS THE GOD OF EVERY BEING, OF EVERY EXISTENCE... OF EVERY THING NOT OF NOTHING.
["What is impossible for men is possible for God..." (Lk 18.27)...]
IT IS SUPPORTIVE OF OUR POSITION.
IS COMPLETE AVOIDANCE OF LYING POSSIBLE FOR MAN? NO. THEN, TOTAL OR COMPLETE AVOIDANCE OF LYING IS POSSIBLE FOR GOD.
PERFECTION IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR MAN SO IT IS POSSIBLE FOR GOD.
[Will it contradict GOD himself as all-knowing?]
DEFINITELY NOT. IT ALL THE MORE SUPPORTS THE OMNIPOTENT AND OMNISCIENT AND ETERNITY OF GOD.
[Hope all who read your answer on this comment will be enlightened.]
I DO HOPE SO.
[God Bless Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam...]
PRO DEO ET ECCLESIA!
