1.The learned Alan Dershowitz has written “The Genesis of Justice,” in which he provides quite an interesting re-view of the definition of God. To begin, almost universally, to coin a term, there are three generally accepted words used to define God: Omnipotence, Omniscience, and Omnipresence
“Omnipotence means all-powerful. Monotheistic theologians regard God as having supreme power. This means God can do what he wants. It means he is not subject to physical limitations like man is. Being omnipotent, God has power over wind, water, gravity, physics, etc. God's power is infinite, or limitless.
Omniscience means all-knowing. God is all all-knowing in the sense that he is aware of the past, present, and future. Nothing takes him by surprise. His knowledge is total. He knows all that there is to know and all that can be known.
Omnipresence: God is capable of being in all places at all times.” Omnipotent, Omniscient and Omnipresent God: Definition & Overview - Video & Lesson Transcript | Study.com
2.Dershowitz, the lawyer, doesn’t hesitate to confront the Bible, or even God, in other than a familiar and less than reverential manner.
“…like the bible itself Dershowitz is disarmingly undisposed to stand on ceremony from his grinning opening sentence would you give a young person a book whose heroes cheat lie steal murder and get away with it chances are you have and the substance of his argument is as invitingly expansive as his voice. [He notes:] I read genesis as an invitation to question everything even faith it taught me that faith is a process rather than a static mind set.
….he builds his injustice leading to justice argument around ten compelling case studies from genesis his early chapter titles summarize the gist of the injustice he sees throughout the genesis narrative god threatens and backs down cain murders and walks god overreacts Overreacts and floods the world abraham defends the guilty and loses lot s daughters rape their father and save the world. abraham commits attempted murder and Is praised jacob deceives and gets deceived dinah Is raped and her brothers take revenge tamar becomes a prostitute and the progenitor of david joseph Is framed and then frames his brothers.” https://scholarsarchive.byu.edu/cgi....com/&httpsredir=1&article=3560&context=byusq
