Sorry squeak I still see you saying God is all powerful and then it seems you're saying He's not all that powerful.
If what you say is to be believed then theoretically all of the Bible can be false.
Take for instance Moses and the Books of the Law. You can then theorize that even though God directed Moses on what to write, Moses being a man may have interpreted God to make other sayings more important than others. And then not only that, Christ Himself was fooled into quoting from them. Then anything can be right. Then you walk into a dangerous dilemma. Might as well eat drink and be merry.

If God is the ONLY standard of righteousness, how can we know that righteousness? Who do we go to? Fallable man? Fallable self?

s> Rom 3:3 For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect?

W> I wholly agree God is faithful to His promises but you didn't continue on.

Rom 3:4-5
4 Not at all! Let God be true, and every man a liar. As it is written: "So that you may be proved right when you speak and prevail when you judge."
5 But if our unrighteousness brings out God's righteousness more clearly, what shall we say? That God is unjust in bringing his wrath on us? (I am using a human argument.) (NIV)

When God's sends wrath it prove He is a righteous God. We are not judging others if we show them the criteria for salvation as shown in Scripture. We just share God's Word which says;

John 3:18
18 "He who believes in Him is not condemned; but he who does not believe is condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
(NKJ)

Then we ask the person if he/she fits the criteria. We are not judging them. We are showing the judgment of God that is already in place.
