So humans can do something God cannot do? We can change our nature, our attitudes, our behavior, etc but God cannot?
When someone gets in a car wreck and is inflicted with brain damage even a person's base psyche & personality can change. Litteraly they can become a different "person".
Sounds like we are more omnipotent than God? Care to refute?

Re: Did Jesus Have Freewill
"More omnipotent" is an oxymoron?
Not really, it is like saying "more perfect", it is gramatically incorrect since like the word "pefect", omnipotence implies an absolute. Thus something is either omnipotent or not omnipotent (there is no inbetween "more omnipotent". An oxymoron implies a self-contradictory sentance as in the phrase "cruel kindness". However, can you refute the rest of my argument:

That is can human's do something God can't? And if so, would that make him not omnipotent since we ourselves are not omnipotent?
