I don't care much about blasphemy ^^. It's just logics. All-powerfulness doesn't make the impossible possible.

The blasphemy was a bit in jest. However I'm scripture it's clear that he did communicate to humans, even taking a human form through his son/alter ego.

[–] zloubida@lemmy.world -1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

Yes communication is possible, just not directly, hence the signs and the symbols.

As for Jesus, even if he's God and a human at the same time, it doesn't mean that he would be able to speak divine truths directly. An infinite being as God cannot be rendered in a finite language.

An all powerful sky wizard can do whatever he wants. Imaginary Sky Daddy can be rendered in whatever way he see fits without people like you "defining" how he does and doesn't work.

It's all just goofy conjecture anyways used to control people. "Murder in the name of" and all that insanity.

God may exist or may not exist. And you can break all the rules of logics when you write fiction.

It doesn't mean it's not interesting to apply the rules of logic to the idea of God. It's even an important part of philosophy.

It means that there is nothing impossible for that being because it is all-powerfull.

It's an open philosophical question whether omnipotence means:

  1. The ability to do anything, or
  2. The ability to do anything possible.

I never encountered the first one, but I did not read everything 😅

[–] MonkderDritte@feddit.de 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

All-powerfulness isn't logically possible.

[–] zloubida@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

It depends on how you define omnipotence.

True

Ah right, that LN/Manga something something power of instant death (was an anime last season) has heavy fokus on this, since the gods there are only gods if they see themselves as omnipotent.
