Can two infinite beings exist?

Briefly, two infinite beings can not coexist because the infinity of one would be a limitation of the other. Aquinas, from what I remember, perhaps from commentaries, also argues in this vein that only in an infinite being could essence and existence be the same.

Can a omnipotent being be created?

The omnipotent being cannot create a stone it cannot lift. The omnipotent being cannot create such a stone because its power is equal to itself—thus, removing the omnipotence, for there can only be one omnipotent being, but it nevertheless retains its omnipotence.

What is omnipotence and how can it be applied?

The notion of omnipotence can also be applied to an entity in different ways. An essentially omnipotent being is an entity that is necessarily omnipotent. In contrast, an accidentally omnipotent being is an entity that can be omnipotent for a temporary period of time, and then becomes non-omnipotent.

Why can’t a being be omnipotent if it can’t create anything?

If the being can create a stone that it cannot lift, then it is not omnipotent because there is a weight threshold beyond its own power to lift. If the being cannot create a stone it cannot lift, then there is something it cannot create, and is therefore not omnipotent.

Can an omnipotent being create a stone so heavy it cannot lift?

A common modern version of the omnipotence paradox is expressed in the question: “Can [an omnipotent being] create a stone so heavy that it cannot lift it?”. This question generates a dilemma. The being can either create a stone it cannot lift, or it cannot create a stone it cannot lift.

What is an example of the omnipotence paradox?

The omnipotence paradox is a family of paradoxes that arise with some understandings of the term omnipotent. The paradox arises, for example, if one assumes that an omnipotent being has no limits and is capable of realizing any outcome, even a logically contradictory one such as creating a square circle.
