      How do you know you are not dreaming right now?

      Congratulations. Your thread has devolved to mindless name calling.

      No. I'm saying that unlimited ability is contradictory and impossible to exist. I'm saying that an unlimited being by definition would be able to impose limitations on itself, which creates an impossible paradox. The problem here is with the definition. It creates a hypothetical situation which would be impossible to have in reality. This is a result inherent of the properties of the concept, not of semantic maneuvering.

      Yes. The inability to do something. That's what I consider a limitation. Even the lack of the ability to reduce one's ability is a limitation. Unable, lack of ability, limitation. These words should not apply in any event to a being free of inability and limitations. A being "by which all things are possible" would be such an example.

      I can't make sense of this question. Is existence only itself? I guess so.

      It doesn't have to be word games. You could stop trying to exclude certain abilities from the arsenal of an all-powerful being as you do here:

That which is infinite is not limited to itself, it is unlimited itself. "Restriction to restriction" is redundant.
      Restriction to be able to restrict is not redundant. To be able to be limited is not an ability. That's correct. To be able to limit yourself is an ability. Being limited is having something done to yourself. Limiting something (including yourself) is you doing something. If an ability is something that you can do, limiting yourself is an ability.

      It's almost like you're getting my point. Infinite power doesn't make sense. It's illogical. I can't make sense of it to you.

      Hang on! I wasn't calling you an idiot, I was saying that you would have to be an idiot to say anything less specific. SOrry about that miscommunication.

      Oh yeah, and I think that I pretty much won this debate.

      For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.
