'''Omnipotence''' is unlimited power.
'''Omnipotence''' is unlimited power.
[[God]] is described as being omnipotent.
[[God]] is described as being omnipotent <ref>Revelation 19:6, [http://www.blueletterbible.org/Bible.cfm?b=Rev&c=19&t=KJV#comm/6]</ref>.
Some [[atheist]]s have argued that omnipotence is an inherent paradox, as it can be self-contradictory. For example, suppose an omnipotent God were to attempt to create a rock so large that he could not lift it. This attempt must be either successful or unsuccessful. If it is unsuccessful, then this is a task which this God is not capable of, and thus the God cannot be truly omnipotent. If, however, the attempt is successful then God is now presented with a rock which he cannot lift. Again, this means that there is an action which the God is incapable of, and thus the God cannot be omnipotent.
