Omnipotence

modern said:
I've always considered GOD outside of our 'universe' and any possibility of no longer being God could be a reality in our universe since he is 'outside'. To have a start God would exist outside of space and time to form this universe. Like before 'the beginning'. This could all embody 'simulation universe and many other theories' while remaining true.

God is be beyond logic and understanding in which omnipotent would be best way for use to understand I think.

Sounds like Olorun in Yoruba cosmology.

I think the presocratics had also similar theories about their cosmogony/cosmology.
Like some of Parmedines, Heraclit or Platon.
While Parmedines only had some opinion about the cosmogony and no theory, while haveing a theory about cosmology.
I think heraclit did not have a cosmogony but had a theory about cosmology and his "logos".

But Platon definetly described theories about how the cosmos was created.
For example that god created the space, time and matter.
Which implicates that on creating there was no space, time and matter at all.
Meaning that god must have existed outside space, time and matter.
But if I recall correctly then this steps were interpreted in the history as raw schematic because it had few contradictions.
 
God is the weakest and the most powerful and everything in between and beyond. What's so hard to understand in that? 😂

(Admittedly this is not the exoteric Abrahamic definition of God, and logical errors really do apply to that God, imho)

In Jainism, the Universe wasn't created 😉

That is interesting because there are different theories about cosmology, cosmogony, theogony across the world.
I wonder if these theories were developed nearly at the same time.

The presokratics also thought about the cosmos as it always had existed.
That it was never created and was uncreated.
But they seperated theogony with cosmology.
But they did not seperate cosmology with cosmogony.

Hesiod which was considered as denser but not as a philosoph by Artistoteles.
(It is funny that Aristoteles decided who was a philosoph, sophist or somethign else)
Hesiod did not seperate between cosmology, cosmogony and theogony.
But yet he wrote a poem about all of these aspects impacting lots of greek ancient philosophers.

Sorry for offtopic, regarding omnipotence I can not contribute anything.
