No.

Quote:[...]Greatness if has infinite potential, while an eternal being that didn't earn it's greatness cannot be greater than a being that earns it's greatness, it will be impossible. Think about it.

I don't really need to think about the fact that anything possible is possible. Greatest possible being is possible because greatest possible anything is possible. Greatest possible anything is possible because anything possible is possible.

Semantics. I'm saying "potential" of greatness can never be reached, in the same way, an end to the future cannot be reached.

Here is the thing, for beings earning their greatness, and growing in it, they can always be greater.

Language is a mode of communication to express ideas, we shouldn't get all technical over semantics, and often a phrase can be perceived in one way or another.
