Famous quotes containing the word omnipotence:

    Can it then be doubted, but that God, who is infinitely fine Spirit, and withal intelligent, can make and change all species and kind of body as he pleaseth? But I dare not say, that this is the way by which God Almighty worketh, because it is past my apprehension: yet it serves very well to demonstrate, that the omnipotence of God implieth no contradiction.
    Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)

    It is the final proof of God’s omnipotence that he need not exist in order to save us.
    Peter De Vries (b. 1910)
