Omnipotence paradox

The omnipotence paradox revolves around the question of whether an all-powerful being can create a task so difficult that it cannot accomplish it. For example, if an omnipotent being can create a rock so heavy that it cannot lift it, it raises the question: can it really be all-powerful if there’s something it cannot do? This paradox highlights inherent contradictions in the concept of unlimited power, leading to debates about the nature of divinity, the scope of omnipotence, and whether absolute power can truly exist without limitations.
