Looking at the chart at the top of the article (about the character of God), I am reminded of the irresolvable contradictions in the Book of Job. At the start, Yahweh tells The Prosecutor that Job is without fault of any kind. And yet Job suffers horribly in the rest of the story. So, not all of the following three propositions can be true;
Job is free from all fault.
God is good and just.
God is all-powerful.
If God is all-powerful and Job is free from all fault, then God is not good and just, because Job suffers at the whim of God.
If God is good and just and Job is free from all fault, then God is not all-powerful, because he does not prevent Job from suffering.
If God is good and just and also all-powerful, then Job is not free from all fault, but then God is a liar.
