    How then can all four be omnipotent?
    View source passageHide passage
    One may wonder here how the four realities can be equally divine. It would seem that whereas God (the divine nature) would not exist because of any other, and so would exist a se, each of the qua-object persons would exist because of God, their base. Wouldn’t this make God greater than each of the Persons? Again, on this account each of these four is intrinsically and essentially divine, yet the Persons can love, while God can not. How then can all four be omnipotent?
    Extraction notes

    Validity: The passage explicitly raises the question of how all four can be omnipotent given that the Persons can love while God cannot, and the extracted premises faithfully reconstruct the implicit reasoning behind that challenge.

    Confidence: The argument leverages the asymmetry in capacities (love) to challenge the claim of equal omnipotence.
