Is God limited by His nature?
If we say No, we’re radical nominalists and voluntarists; God might turn ugly at a whim. If we way Yes, we have the uncomfortable feeling that we’ve constrained God.
The problem is in that word “limit.” Better to avoid it altogether. It’s not as if God is stuck in a box labeled “divine nature.” God is His nature, and all He does expresses that perfect nature. His nature is not a limit; rather, acting in accord with Who He is is perfect, infinite freedom.
