Yea, I'm a huge Augustine fan but this is not a very good quote.

There's two ways to look at god's omnipotence in reference to OPs challenge:

A) God has the ability to give himself an inability

B) Play the Faith card: God's omnipotence is above our understanding as humans and any attempt to fully comprehend it is just silly.

Read Christian philosophy. The Bible itself isn't enough.

Nietzsche attacks Christianity a lot. You should understand it first. I'd recommend Augustine's Confessions as a starter.

The Lord is my rock, and my fortress, and my deliverer;

The God of my rock; in him will I trust: he is my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower, and my refuge, my saviour; thou savest me from violence.

I will call on the Lord, who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.

When the waves of death compassed me, the floods of ungodly men made me afraid;

The sorrows of hell compassed me about; the snares of death prevented me;

In my distress I called upon the Lord, and cried to my God: and he did hear my voice out of his temple, and my cry did enter into his ears.

Then the earth shook and trembled; the foundations of heaven moved and shook, because he was wroth.

There went up a smoke out of his nostrils, and fire out of his mouth devoured: coals were kindled by it.

He bowed the heavens also, and came down; and darkness was under his feet.

Your favorites /lit/ books, moments, passages on The Holy Bible?

THere's barely anything on it or i'm just retarded to not find any of these pics.

>Jesus replied, "Foxes have dens and birds have nests, but the Son of Man has no place to lay his head."

what I plan on doing:
>read the greeks while reading KJVBible (Have read Mythology > Theogony > Iliad > Odissey > article on Presocratics and Sophists. Starting Plato today and currently on first book of Samuel on the Bible)
>read all of those books in the 'Theology' section of pic related, closing it with Aquinas and Augustine
rate

didn't read all the words above, just gonna share my plan:

>follow /lit/'s philosophy project 1.2
>stop when you reach medieval philosophy, which is basically aquinas and augustine

at this point, instead of just jumping straight into them, read the 'theology' part of pic related, they will give a good base, will introduce to you apologetics, theology and shit, so you are prepared when you reach the big bosses and can get the moust out of them.
