Responses to the paradoxes on the omnipotence of God

Abstract

It might be said that one of the debates that has generated the most discussion, reflections and productions in this regard, in all the currents of philosophy (classic, continental and analytical), has been on the existence, nature and influence of God in the world. In the present article, five paradoxes raised by various philosophers (some of them have been adapted and improved) that would open the possibility of denying the perfections of God from his nature: his omnipotence and his kindness will be presented. As soon as every problem was raised, the possible solutions will be presented to each one, showing that they are based on ambiguities, inconsistencies or misunderstandings of the Christian theory. In addition to the above, it will be shown how these responses could solve philosophical problems related to the need, freedom and self-determination.
