Is omniscience or omnipotence really possible?

[Magic Man]

you actually found festezio insulting?

No, just the condescending "I can make up words too" part.

Well, that was not my intent, so I apologize if you took it so.

Thank you for that. I would just advise not telling people that their posts were a painful blur in the future, unless you know that they know you're kidding.

A god that is omniscient would know all of its future decisions, therefore is severely limited by its own knowledge, i.e. has no freewill. This seems an absurdity, therefore, at best a god can only be omniscient about all things and decisions unrelated to itself.

But this means it is not truly omniscient, as it cannot know the future, since it does not know the actions it will take. If it is not omniscient, it follows that it cannot be omnipotent, as it is usually taken that one implies the other.

Any thoughts?

Been done. :sleep: Ever hear of the self-limited God? God escaping the limitions of the perfection of infinity through a process of self-differentiation? Hinduism has been around for about 5,000 years and you haven't heard that the ONE became many?

Can you say, "Biased"?
