I personally do not think so. but an argument can be made for those who do think God could chop off his spiritual arm and could/would not let it grow back.
but IDK. I think this whole thing get played out with Jesus being 'cut off' from the Father, but then the resurrection happens so He back, but at the same time is He all the way back or maybe apart of him is gone now.. IDK. So I kinda have to default to the fact that Jesus was 'cut off' and came back seemingly as he was. So that is my official position.. but personally idk.

Well I don't really have much to say on it, I was just curious. At most I think these notions could make for some interesting thought experiments etc, but beyond that I wasn't really looking to get into a big discussion about it. I'm generally a reader on this site nowadays, much more than a poster.
