1) How do you square calling yourself a Christian while denying the Trinity and the Incarnation?
2) How do you justify ignoring Paul’s explicit rejection of works-based righteousness? Are you saying he got it wrong, or do you just toss his epistles out?
3) Your sect died out centuries ago, or at least went underground. Also, the historical record on Ebionites is thin, mostly from hostile sources like the Church Fathers. What’s your evidence for claiming continuity with them? Are you reconstructing from scraps, or is this a modern LARP based on what you think Ebionites believed? If it’s the latter, how’s that different from making it up?

Omnipotence doesn’t mean God micromanages every sin. He allows free will, which is a good, and evil flows from its misuse. Aquinas lays it out: God’s power includes ordering all to His end, not forcing puppets. Scripture backs this (Romans 9:21, God shapes the clay as He wills). Pagan gods can’t even claim that coherence; they’re just impotent nature spirits. No limitations here, just divine wisdom you’re missing.

Elijah’s fire was a one-time, dramatic intervention in a contest against Baal (ironically, paganism). The miracle occurred in a specific prophetic context ordained by God, not something humans can replicate at will. “You can’t repeat miracle X, therefore God doesn’t exist” is a non sequitur. Even Christ refused to perform signs on demand for Herod (Luke 23:8–9). Refusing spectacle is Christlike, ironically.
