According to Plantinga, what does omnipotence imply about God's actions?

Plantinga argues that omnipotence does not entail that God can do the logically impossible. Instead, it implies that God has the freedom to choose how to exercise His power, which includes the capacity to limit His actions if He chooses to do so. This means that while God is all-powerful, He operates within the bounds of logic and consistency. For instance, God cannot create a square circle or make two plus two equal five, as these are contradictions. Therefore, the choice to limit His actions can stem from His nature, His desire for the best good, or to allow for the existence of free will.

This perspective aligns with the general understanding of divine attributes in philosophy, where God's actions are understood as coherent and purposeful. Omnipotence shouldn't be construed as a license to perform illogical acts, but rather as the capacity to choose how to act in a way that is consistent with His character and the nature of reality.
