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

so you are saying he does not have the capacity to do it

the ability to limit oneself is repugnant to his will and therefore his omnipotence

Does he have the capacity to do it

the capacity to limit oneself is antithetical to the concept of omnipotence

@el pebble what do you mean limit His power?

he can withold his hand, yes

so he can not limit himself because it would be repugnant to his will and therefore his omnipotence, if it were to go against his will god would be able to be acted upon rather than to act, which would mean that he is not omnipotent.

then he is not all-powerful

If he were omnipotent his capacity would be limitless

if he was limited he is not all-powerful

omnipotence does not exist

he is either limited by his capacity to limit himself or he is limited by his inability to limit himself

like i said before you are thinking of power as in relation to something else
this is the difference between absolutely possible and possible in relation to.
possible absolutely is the manner in which terms stand together so as to form a cohesive concept. Something like a square-circle is impossible because the definition of each of these terms is mutually exclusive so we cannot join them together to mean anything intelligible just as a limited god is not an intelligible concept.

No an incapacity is a limitation
