| 24 | -The post from r/LatterDayTheology explores the concept of God's omnipotence, suggesting that God is "maxipotent" rather than "omnipotent" due to certain limitations. It posits that God cannot exercise the agency of an independent intelligence without compromising its independence, nor can God achieve theosis in humanity without the suffering observed in the world. The first limitation is likened to a logical impossibility, such as creating a square without four right angles, which is not typically seen as a constraint on God's omniscience. The discussion then questions whether the second limitation is also a logical impossibility, as theosis involves an independent agent overcoming adversity. |

| 24 | +This article delves into the intriguing concept of God's omnipotence, or rather, the idea that God is "maxipotent" due to certain inherent limitations. It explores the notion that God cannot exercise the agency of an independent intelligence without infringing upon its independence, nor can God achieve theosis in humanity without the observed suffering in the world. The first limitation is akin to a logical impossibility, such as creating a square without four right angles, which is generally not considered a limitation on God's omniscience. The discussion further questions whether the second limitation is also a logical impossibility, as theosis involves an independent agent overcoming adversity. |
