The concept of omnipotence is contradictory

Keywords: God.

Summary

Power is a relational concept. I am powerful if I can exert a force on an object or a person outside myself. So to speak of "omnipotence" would be to speak of a power that nothing would limit, which is contradictory. Power is by definition limited; the idea of an all-powerful Being is absurd.

See the paradoxes of omnipotence.https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paradoxe_de_l%27omnipotence

Quote Hans Jonas "The Concept of God after Auschwitz".
