I am proposing a new topic - probably should go in Comparative Religions to discuss whether it was a new thing for a people to present their God as omnicient and omnipotent as the Hebrews did with Yahweh. When did this happen and was it a new thing? Or do all peoples consider their god to be omnicient and omnipotent? This topic proposal was prompted by this post by Faith in the "Logic" thread. Faith's post and my response(which I deleted because it was off topic):
Faith writes:
The God of Western tradition is omniscient and omnipotent. Pretty common knowledge. Pagan gods are generally local and finite. Pretty common knowledge.

I find these statement quite interesting. Unfortunately also quite offtopic here but it might be worth a PNT if others find it interesting. I could be wrong but I believe the Hebrews were among the first people to present their God as a global God rather than just a local Hebrew God.
