Message: <blockquote data-quote="ela_eluwa120" data-source="post: 12355032" data-attributes="member: 193664">If we accept that the omnipotence of God does not declare that God can do impossible things, things like creating round squares for example, then we are automatically accepting that God could not create free agents while deciding the acts that his creatures are to do.Even if God interferes with what I am doing, by the time he interferes, I have already, based on my free-will, decided and started what I am doing. So, God may reduce my free-will by interfering and stopping what I am doing. But, he can't abolish my free-will completely. Even in this example, what God removes is my circumstantial freedom, not my metaphysical freedom.Thus, free-will invalidates omnipotence only if we define omnipotence as having the ability to do possible and impossible things. However, if we are going for such definition, we are departing away from the original definition of the word "omnipotence" and thereby using the word "omnipotence" to mean something else.</blockquote>
