Heard about the Inconsistent Triad, any thoughts on this?

For those who dont know the Inconsistent Triad its basically

The bible claims that God is

Omni-Potent - All powerful

Omni-Present - Everywhere at Once

Omni Benevolant - All loving

But these all contradict each other as he cannot be all three. Because take a stimulus, say, World hunger. God cannot be all loving because we have world hunger, or he is all loving but he cant stop it so hes not all powerful. Or hes all powerful, and all loving, but he cant be everywhere to sort everything out, and therefore. NOT always present.

Thoughts? (Bible Bashers/God Squad Input Welcome.)

The bible never says that god is omnipotent, omniscient, omnibenevolent or omnipresent.

Matthew 19:26

'With God everything is possible.'

(omnipotent)

John 21:17

'Lord, you know everything.'

(omniscient)

Psalm 139 lines 7-10

'I can never escape from your Spirit! I can never get away from your presence!'

(omnipresent)

Then again, the bible is full of shit.

And I can barely see how these passages literally convey those meanings. They look very open to interpretation. And look a lot like opinions to me. Once again, the bible is full of shit. And so are interpretations of it.

None of these truly proves that God is any of the three inconsistancies. These are simply the opinions of the writes of those books of the bible.
