The key here is "if God's will is for failure". I can't see how it
could be. How do you reconcile an ability to fail with omnipotence
and omniscience? God would know the outcome/result/effect of any
action/cause, so how could he fail? With omniscience and omnipotence,
success is assured through logic alone. Omnipotence does NOT mean
being able to do the impossible, e. g., not even God can make a
triangle where all the points along the sides are an equal distance
from the centre. ;-)
