This is another new one on me. Is that what you believe? And in this conception of God would he be able to permanently limit himself or just temporarily? If I was god I'd certainly want to turn off omniscience from time to time, just to stop with all the spoilers in my entertainment Wink But as to permanent limitations... ie god giving up his powers... that would make an interesting and thought-provoking story, and it to some extent did in Superman 2, when he walked into that machine and gave up his powers.

That's exactly the story of christ.  When god became a man.  Without that, it was wondered how the magic was supposed to work.  To be an adequate paragon/sacrifice..it was believed... - god had to endure what we endure. Bloodgod is all about that blood.
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!
