The issue of the omnipotence of God can provoke some difficulties of interpretation, especially in comparison with the fact of omnipotence of human nature of the Second Person of the Divine. These difficulties raise the following question: if God, who is pure act and infinite being, having become man is still all-powerful, was His power limited by the limited human nature? Whether the adoption of human nature of Christ led to the adoption of weakness of the flesh and the soul? If the answer would be affirmative, then Christ is not limitless. If the answer is in the negative, His suffering on the cross, would not be real. Does the fact that the Incarnation of the Word took place not in the nature, but in the person does not mean that each of the two natures preserved what is proper? The article is an attempt to reconstruct Thomas’ response to these questions. This eminent thinker who in depth tried to understand God, both from a theological perspective and philosophical alloed integrally combine these apparent contradictions to simultaneously show strong arguments in favor of preserving the unity of God.
