==118:5. OMNIPOTENCE AND COMPOSSIBILITY==
   −
118:5.1 The [[omnipotence]] of [[Deity]] does not imply the [[power]] to do the nondoable. Within the [[time-space]] [[frame]] and from the [[intellectual]] [[reference]] [[point]] of [[mortal]] [[comprehension]], even the [[infinite]] [[God]] cannot [[create]] [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ square] [[circles]] or produce [[evil]] that is [[inherently]] [[good]]. [[God]] cannot do the ungodlike [[thing]]. Such a [[contradiction]] of [[philosophic]] terms is the [[equivalent]] of nonentity and implies that nothing is thus created. A [[personality]] [[trait]] cannot at the same time be Godlike and ungodlike. [[Compossibility]] is [[innate]] in [[divine]] [[power]]. And all of this is derived from the [[fact]] that [[omnipotence]] not only [[creates]] [[things]] with a [[nature]] but also gives [[origin]] to the nature of [[all things]] and [[beings]].

118:5.2 In the beginning [[the Father]] does all, but as the [[panorama]] of [[eternity]] [[unfolds]] in [[response]] to the [[Free will|will]] and [[mandates]] of the [[Infinite]], it becomes increasingly [[apparent]] that [[creatures]], even men, are to become [[God]]'s [[partners]] in the [[realization]] of finality of [[destiny]]. And this is true even in the life in the [[flesh]]; when [[man]] and [[God]] enter into [[partnership]], no [[limitation]] can be placed upon the [[future]] [[possibilities]] of such a [[partnership]]. When man [[realizes]] that the [[Universal Father]] is his [[partner]] in [[eternal]] [[progression]], when he [[fuses]] with the [[Thought Adjuster|indwelling Father presence]], he has, in [[spirit]], broken the fetters of [[time]] and has already entered upon the [[progressions]] of [[eternity]] in the [[quest]] for the [[Universal Father]].
