Abstract
Divine omnipotence entails that God can choose to do evil(even though He will not) by taking up a human nature. In showing others by wayof example how temptations are to be overcome, His exposure to evil desires in suchcircumstances is consistent with moral perfection. The view that ‘God has thegreatest power and is morally perfect simpliciter’, is religiously more adequate than‘God has great power and is essentially morally perfect’. The essentiality of otherdivine attributes to God is discussed, and rebuttals to Anselmian arguments areoffered.
