the power to limit oneself is a limitation

you dont seem to understand

i think i will wait for the answer of the intelligent person i asked

why am i more powerful if i am able to blow my own kneecaps off?

It is about the ability to actualize a potential

the capacity to act on a potential

your question is completely disparate

your definition of power can not be applied to god then

Yes it can, because God is interpreted as pure actuality in terms of actuality and potential

it is entirely the definition at hand

at least in the scholastic western world

as I was asking a christians

Omnipotence is perfect power, free from all mere potentiality

because it is pure actuality

no unresolved potential

so

Does God have the capacity to apply limitation to his own power

the transition from possibility to actuality or from act to potentiality, occurs only in creatures

why

it exists in things that arent alive

matter and form

when it is said that God can or could do a thing, the terms are not to be understood in the sense in which they are applied to created causes, but as conveying the idea of a being, the range of Whose activity is limited only by His sovereign will

By saying the God cannot transition to a state of potentiality denies Christ's existence

lol no it does not

It does

Christ was a human with divinity

still human

stil created

still with potency

This isn’t the catholic view maybe Protestant

The Church holds he is human

a human with divinity

The church holds is human and divine, not a human with divinity if you get the distinction

yes as in he is without sin

the distinction is negligible really

the important part is the human facet

it is a form of potency that God undertook

but this is straying too far from my question

Does the all-powerful God have the capacity to limit his power

not restrain by parameters but to permanently quantify a level to it, thereby severing it from an all-powerful nature

having a sovereign will is a form of power if he were to have the capacity to limit himself, for example to remove his own will, he would not be all powerful
