===Scriptural grounds=== In the [[Authorized King James Version]] of the [[Bible]], as well as several other versions, in [[Book of Revelation|Revelation]] 19:6 it is stated "the Lord God omnipotent reigneth" ({{langx|grc|παντοκράτωρ|[[Christ Pantokrator|pantokrator]]}}, "all-mighty").<ref>{{cite web |url=http://strongsnumbers.com/greek/3841.htm |title=Strong's Greek Dictionary: 3841. pantokrator (pan-tok-rat'-ore) |publisher=Strongsnumbers.com |access-date=2011-04-07 |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20110319205959/http://strongsnumbers.com/greek/3841.htm |archive-date=2011-03-19 }}</ref> [[Thomas Jay Oord]] argues that omnipotence is not found in the Hebrew and Greek scriptures. The Hebrew words Shaddai (breasts) and Sabaoth (hosts) are wrongly translated as "God almighty" or "divine omnipotence". Pantokrator, the Greek word in the New Testament and Septuagint often translated in English as "almighty", actually means "all-holding" rather than almighty or omnipotent. Oord offers an alternative view of divine power he calls "amipotence," which is the maximal power of God's uncontrolling love.<ref>Thomas Jay Oord, ''The Death of Omnipotence and Birth of Amipotence'' (Grasmere, Id.: SacraSage Press, 2023), ch. 1.</ref>
