For through Wisdom, which is Christ, God has power over all things, not only by the authority of a ruler, but also by the voluntary obedience of subjects. And that you may understand that the omnipotence of Father and Son is one and the same, as God and the Lord are one and the same with the Father, listen to the manner in which John speaks in the Apocalypse: “Thus says the Lord God, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.” For who else was “He which is to come” than Christ? And as no one ought to be offended, seeing God is the Father, that the Saviour is also God; so also, since the Father is called omnipotent, no one ought to be offended that the Son of God is also called omnipotent. For in this way will that saying be true which He utters to the Father, “All Mine are Yours, and Yours are Mine, and I am glorified in them.” (Book I, Chapter 2, Part 10)

The ideal form of a table has - and has always had - legs, a surface, height, width, and edges, which establish it's tableness

So also does God have - and has always had - omnipotence, wisdom, Father, Son, and other attributes which are innate to being God.

Christ was not some imperfect reflection of God, but a perfect embodiment - a full incarnation - of every characteristic of a changeless God.

I wonder how much neo-Platonic theology was a reaction to the deification of the Roman emperors. Origen was born in the reign of the capricious and cowardly Commodus, experienced the year of the five emperors, and was in his prime during the egregious and surreal rule of Elagabalus.

In the early Third Century the imperial system was in crisis and hit bottom. Only two of the twenty emperors known by Origen died of natural causes. Most were murdered.

When faced with such obviously false gods, it is not surprising to encounter a preoccupation with finding and defining an alternative.
