| Jan 7, 2015 at 19:27 | comment | added | Theraot | This is the first time I see Omnibenevolent, I'm used to see Omnipotent, Omniscient and Omnipresent instead. As an example see How is God Omnipotent, Omnipresent, and Omniscient? As a proxy for popularity of those concepts of take a good old google fight of Omnipresent vs Omnibenevolent. | |

I changed "and" for the three books to "or" and shortened language: answers should not have to be heroically long.

| May 7, 2012 at 13:43 | comment | added | Paul | I would rescind my downvote if the question is narrowed in scope so that answers need not be of heroic length. In fact, I sent in an edit to change "and" to "or", to make the possible answer shorter. | |

| May 4, 2012 at 13:49 | comment | added | kotekzot | @Oddthinking this is exactly the stuff that I'm interested in, and the reason I'm asking this question - to find out if the arguments based on these attributed qualities are strawmen or not. Here's a link to an article from Christian Research Journal discussing the problem of evil and, by extension, asserting that god does exhibit these qualities. equip.org/articles/… These arguments have stirred thought for centuries. | |

| May 4, 2012 at 13:29 | comment | added | Oddthinking♦ | Can you give an example of people claiming that the relevant holy books do claim that God is "omnibenevolent"? This appears to be a strawman. Wikipedia claims: 'The earliest record for its use in English, according to the Oxford English Dictionary, is in 1679. The Catholic Church does not appear to use the term "omnibenevolent" in the liturgy or Catechism.' Claims of omnipotence and omnipresence (and even omniscience) are easier to find. | |

| May 3, 2012 at 22:09 | comment | added | matt_black | @DJClayworth I'm with sklivvz on this. The question as currently stated is about a factual statement which could be subject to skeptical analysis independent of whether the statement itself is true or has religious significance. | |
| May 3, 2012 at 21:57 | comment | added | Sklivvz | @DJClayworth note that the question is very similar but not a dupe, this is a super-set if anything. | |

| May 3, 2012 at 20:49 | comment | added | kotekzot | @DJClayworth something being written is as much of an event as something being said. None of these sites have the necessary scope to answer the question in full, am I to ask the same question on 3 sites, including the one about Islam that doesn't exist yet? | |
| May 3, 2012 at 20:47 | comment | added | DJClayworth | In fact there is already a question about this: christianity.stackexchange.com/questions/2643/… | |

| May 3, 2012 at 20:42 | comment | added | kotekzot | @DJClayworth how is it different from this question with a rating of 15 then? skeptics.stackexchange.com/questions/1840/… This question is about whether something was written, that is about whether something was said. | |
| May 3, 2012 at 20:24 | comment | added | DJClayworth | @kotekzot Whether or not any book makes any statement is NOT a scientific claim. Such claims are off-topic here. | |

edited title to reflect actual question at hand

| May 3, 2012 at 19:48 | comment | added | kotekzot | @DJClayworth I think the question of whether something was written in a book or not falls within the realm of science, even if the subject of the book may be unscientific. | |
| May 3, 2012 at 19:37 | comment | added | DJClayworth | This site is for the examination of scientific claims. It does not examine religious claims. You might like to try the sites for Christianity, Biblical Hermeneutics or Judaism. | |
