But if you disagree that not everyone follows God's will, doesn't that make Him not omnipotent or omniscient ?

So heres another question, NuT: Do you think that everyone is technically following God's will, willingly or unwillingly? I think so.

If we have free will then why can't we murder, rape and pillage without consequences?

With that in mind, what if God knows all the infinite possibilities that lie within each step and every turn, and knows which door you will open, and what leads after that subsequent decision and knows how you will react/think in every step?

Einstein rejected a personal loving God deity. Are you postulating that Father sent someone who would lie about His character and nature to mankind?
Again, I said I am not saying it happened, or didn't happen. I am trying to see others viewpoints on these things. I used an extreme case here. Like the other poster said, could he have not have come to advance the timetable?edit on 8-7-2012 by jhill76 because: (no reason given)

Let's take a look at Father. He knows best right? In his thinking, could he have not sent others down here from above, who have come here to help man in various ways.
Many think, if a person is not showing outside signs of holiness, they could not possibly be of God. People in the church, would say, scientists, they don't believe in God, so no.

If this is true then why did Christians burn people at the stake for doing anything scientific?
