So then it seems an omnipotent being can cause themselves to lose their omnipotence, and that doesn't contradict their nature of being omnipotent? — Jerry
It's all very confusing, — Jerry
I think a useful definition would be a being that can make anything possible, actual. — Jerry
I'd like to refer you back to my initial questions of whether an omnipotent being has to always be omnipotent or if they can be omnipotent without actual doing actions that make them lose their omnipotence. — Jerry
If you are god, as you supposed in your OP, and if god can will anything, including apparent contradictions, then whether there are any contradictions is entirely up to you. — Banno
So either you re god, or you are not god. — Banno
If you are not god, we don't need to show a contradiction in order to show that you are not god. — Banno
If you are indeed god, them since the validity of any argument depends on what you will, whether an argument shows you to be god or not depends only on what you will. — Banno
I am wondering if I can be shown not to be God by the idea of me being God being shown to be one that contains a contradiction. — Bartricks
I think that if a contradiction is involved in the idea of me being God, then I am not God. — Bartricks
