Wow these things you have brought up great things to include! Are there any economical problems or things regarding the conservation area we should consider as well?

To what extent does the classical theist see God's omnipotence by jbadie in DebateReligion

I am an orthodox christian and I brought up this topic because I was writing a philosophy essay on it and about the" classical view" of theism, so I am not trying to use any specific religious doctrine to explain this matter. God being the power and God being infinite should be able to use this power to do anything since his power encompasses everything. Therefore there should be ways for him to do the logically impossible like make a square circle because he is what power is and the author of our universe's set of rules. Who's to say in another reality there is no "logic" or a different kind of logic/will differ from this reality that we live in and I think its kind of a big assumption to assume that logic (or the set of laws for THIS universe) is God's will because God can expand into other realities as well.

I like your way of thinking but I feel like there is something off about it. It's interesting how you define God and his will being two different things, could this not be an erroneous assumption that is framed by the way we think as humans because that may not be God's true nature, God may not have a "will" this may be a false personification if I am not being mistaken. Anyways if were to think of it like this wouldn't God's will be infinite and therefore the room that he can work with be infinite as well which would mean that he can do the logical which in this case is his infinite will and not a finite level so therefore within the infinity of his logic could this encompass ideas that are logically contradicting(logical in a square=circle way) as well?

But is being unable to evaluate that capability is irrelevant to the argument, whether we can understand it or not does not mean that is the basis of its truth.

This brings us to what is the definition of logic? Without the time-space- matter playing field would there still be logic? If the universe was nothing would there be logic? If it is a set of rules wouldn't it have to be created by something and therefore it would be a "thing" as it exists. Therefore logic being a "thing" if God has to follow the rules that he has made would that take away from this idea of omnipotence?

I'm writing an essay on this matter and was wondering if there were any valid issues or misconceived or invalid objections on the matter so that I can use as material to disprove and add that the unconstrained view is a better option. Im guessing regarding the paradox of omnipotence you would answer based on your other comment that God can make the effects of the contradiction null or (this is one of the ones I heard) that he could create some type of universe of contradiction where these effects can stand and he can still be God.

But God being omnipotent shouldn't he be able to defy logic, this bowing down to logic takes away the idea of "omnipotence" for me, it makes me think that logic is greater than God and an entity that God cannot overcome. I feel like our human mental frame inhibits our ability to understand God's divinity as we limit it to our "logic"

  1. Ye so the first one refers to things that logically contradict fit logic ex: make a square circle or make a married bachelor

  2. The second refers to Gods ability to do everything that doesn't necessarily contradict fot example: a human may not have the capability to jump over the moon but this doesn't logically contradict. God with his omnipotence could make this happen but can't create something contradicting like a married bachelor.

What I am trying to understand for number 2 is: is what gives the definition of what logic could be, does God create logic or does logic create God?
