Can An Omnipotent God Embody A Contradiction?
What is Omnipotence
Omnipotence is the ability to do all things, and having all powers. If Person A is said to be truly omnipotent, then all sentences of the form, “Person A can _________” are true, and all sentences of the form, “Person A cannot _________” are false. By this definition, an omnipotent God absolutely can contradict Himself/Herself. The fact that an omnipotent God can contradict himself is undeniable by the definition of the word, so if you do not like the consequences, then use a different word to describe the power of God as opposed to omnipotent.
