Some Questions:
If Deity does not Hath Omnipotence to make a Stone so heavy so that He Himself
cannot lift, a thing so unbreakable that He Himself cannot break, a Chamber so
opaque that He Himself cannot See in It,
A man so pious so that Even Deity cannot make a person pious than him , an infinite
body, to become a man or a woman or a semi human being , to become a Non Deity
, To make His Own Omnipotence to cease, To make His Own Omniscience to cease
or to annihilate etc ,He can neither Be Omnipotent nor His Power Be Absolute.
It is replied that His Power is upon each and every Per Se Contingent with the
Necessary Exclusion of Essential Divine Attributes , and any further Exception is Per
Se Absurd.
Pe Se Contingents are Infinites and unbounded . Divine Omnipotence is Absolute in
this meaning as confirmed and reconfirmed by Muslim Theologians. Even Jewish and
Christian Scholars agree ingeneral.
Christian Scholars may dispute over the problem of Incarnation. But they agree on
other issues.
According to Muslims to Become a Male Human Being [Man] is as Per Se Absurd as
to Become a Female Human Being OR A Humanoid or a Semi Human Being or an
Animal Being or a Human Soul etc.
How ever Divine Omniscience is Upon Every thing whether it be Per Se Contingent
or Per Se Necessary or Per Se Absurd .
The word Thing means Per Se Contingent in case of sentence like Deity Hath Power
over All Things
And may mean all three types in case of Sentence like Deity Hath Knowledge Of All
things.
