The very sound of your breath brings me to sublimity
Your ways are tender, provident, and pure
Counting on you I am certain, incandescently sure
You are the beginning and end to our story
My sunshine morning glory
My tears of joy are like crystalized snow
I want to crawl into your mould
I am with you forever to behold
Our love story I want to be told
Your piercing eyes mesmerize my soul
Your very presence gives me conviction
Without your love there is no existence
You are the undeniable substance in my vigor
The steed I steered through the calming river The impression of your touch makes me quiver Together we radiate in splendor Our gaze beams with chemistry Through you my hope abounds with infinite clemency You brighten the colors in my garden My faith is renewed with you as my one true spartan You make my heart palpitate Your love can only insatiate Your smile brings me home I know with you I’m never alone You are my love, my breath of life
I can’t wait to be your one true lover, your beloved wife!
In order to understand the “omnipotence paradox” one must first define it.
What is a paradox?
• It is a statement or proposition that seems self-contradictory or absurd but in reality expresses a possible truth.
• A self-contradictory and false proposition.
• Any person, thing, or situation exhibiting an apparently contradictory nature.
• An opinion or statement contrary to commonly accepted opinion. (Dictionary.com)
What is an omnipotence paradox?
"It is a family of related paradoxes addressing the question of whether the existence of an omnipotent entity is logically possible. The paradox states that if a being can perform any action, then it should be able to create a task it is unable to perform, and hence, it cannot perform all actions." (Princeton University)
The answer is a matter of choice. If God creates a task, he undoubtedly created it for a purpose. How he chooses to take on such task is a matter of preference although this does not imply that he is unable to perform it. Only a philosophical question puts doubt in this fact by assuming that God is unable to perform all actions. God is the perfect example of government that no human is able to undertake.
According to Oxford Dictionaries, omnipotence is “the quality of having unlimited or very great power.” This answers the very question posed in the paradox yet some have made it seem that it is a mystery. Since no human can ever possess such exceptional qualities, it is befitting to accredit this magnificence to the giver of life, Jehovah God without question or doubt. Because mankind has the innate tendency to question our very existence, it only makes sense that humans question what they do not understand and thus are limited in their power of reason, which results in paradoxes and seemingly well thought out contradictions. I have come to the conclusion that due to this abstract and independent way of thinking, their notions are unequivocally null. However, topics such as these intrigue me and I find myself searching high and low for ways I can defend the truth.
The power of omnipotence describes “foreknowledge” and “foreordination” because the scriptures in the Bible such as Job 36:22, 27:23, and 1 Chronicles 29:11 demonstrate God’s perfect and almighty strength which require the use of his limitless ability to act. His virtue of power to fulfill his purpose with great authority as he chooses is comforting, not paradoxical. His majestic qualities are decisively veiled. This is an irrefutable reality that has averted us from eradication, a choice only the highest Supreme Being can make. Cleary this is indicated by his righteous standards and judgments that are indeed flawless. His personal choice gives us a glimpse of his magnitude. Allowing underserved ones to exist reveals his power in how he decides to govern accomplishing his purpose, that which is “tempered by his mercy” (it, 851).
According to the Oxford English Dictionary, to be omnipotent is “as an attribute of a god, esp. the Christian God or Christ: almighty; all-powerful, having infinite power.” The etymology of the word can be traced back to c1330, which is debatable; it originated as an adjective. In the last century or so, the definition has been defined as “an omnipotent person or being; spec. (with the): God. Occas. in pl.: a group of people collectively sharing omnipotence.”
Its original definition has shuffled in meaning through the centuries being described currently as a noun and has been given human characteristics. Clearly God’s power is unparalleled, however, due to conventional society, many philosophical scholars have placed a seemingly doubtful question that has a clear-cut answer. “I am that I am” (Exodus 3:14). God chooses to be who he chooses to be. God’s choices always have a purpose. The omnipotent paradox is a question of confusion that makes it impossible to give a definitive answer. “With God all things are possible” (Matt. 19:26). We must keep in mind that languages and cultures change over time; the linguistic nature of words are derived from confusion and cryptic archetypes, which attributes to the omnipotence paradox we are challenged with today.
