The actions of people are motivated by pleasure seeking.
Not mine. At the moment my actions are motivated on having the most comfie life I can get till I die in around 40 years (hopefully) time.

It was interesting to follow the conversation, but I really don't understand these.

All this to say, yes, God is omnipotent, but is essentially limited by His own nature of love. Therefore, he will not at any point force humans to make a choice. So, the way I see it is that God can see literally all outcomes of any given situation, make 98% accurate guesses as to which one will take place, but actually does not know exactly what is going to happen.
Limited. Therefore not omnipotent. 98% accurate guesses. Therefore not not omniscient. Doesn't sound omni-everything at all. I take it that, unlike Faith, you're not a True Christian.

Christians don't say you have to think their way. They encourage you to think His way.
Thanks for the comment, Kim Jong-un.

Questioned on what basis?
Oh, quite a few basis.
​
One of them is that all those allegedly hearing what was allegedly said have factually all died in the meantime. Another one is that there's absolutely no empirical, verifiable evidence for the existence of Spooks today.There's many more.
