If omnipotence can be removed by a choice then it isn't omnipotence.

Why is it not? 

The omnipotent being has not chosen to set its path to limited power YET he has the power to do it. 


Can he set a limit on his power and then remove it? If so then he never set a limit on his power and so cannot do anything, if not then there was something he could not do. Either way he does not have omnipotence.

This was an argument I stumbled on years ago. 

Simply put it to this. 

"Is God capable of being incapable?" If God is capable of being incapable, it means that He is incapable, because He has the potential to not be able to do something. Conversely, if God is incapable of being incapable, then the two inabilities cancel each other out, making God have the capability to do something.

So what you're saying is that god does not have the capability to limit his own power?
