No.
This by the way is a logical limitation on the concept of Omnipotence, not a limitation on the Christian God.
The Christian God is Logically Omnipotent (not absolutely Omnipotent). In other words, the Christian God can do anything that is logically possible.
The conundrum you mention above demonstrates that the concept of Absolute Omnipotence is Rationally Incoherent.
Nowhere does the Christian God claim to be Absolutely Omnipotent (particularly given that Absolute Omnipotence is rationally incoherent).
The Christian God is however Logically Omnipotent (as mentioned above).
Please be aware that there is scientific and intellectual evidence for the existence of God (e.g., see http://www.godsci.org/gs/godsci/evidence.htm)
Cordially,
John

Can a man breathe in more than the oxygen he needs?
Can a builder constructs a building his equipment cannot reach?
Can a businessman withdraw cash more than his account?
Can a teacher instructs more than his knowledge?
The answers to all the above Qs are YES! God created man to be like Him, to work over their limits. And the creator is big than his creation, but no creator would be dumb enough to create anything he cannot handle.

John,
You are wrong. If God is bound by logic then that means that he is unable to do the miricals in the bible. Even his existance is a logical inposibility. That leaves god being above logic or non-existant.
By the way your link did not work for me. Does that mean there is no evidence?
You need to remove the ) on the end.

It all depends on how much God can lift. I would ask him for you, but I have several other things on my list of things to talk to him about.
For the people who say that God does not exist. I bet you will feel silly when you meet him.

He wouldn't create a stone he is unable to lift, that is like a double negative, y ask this question..... no matter how big, he can lift it... ...........he wouldn't even try to make one he can't lift cuz before it is even made, he already knows he can lift it..........people these days

He can if He wants to. I really think God doesn't play around too much with all the problems we give Him!

Why are you bringing God down to a human level? God can do anything.

You sound smarter than God! God is not there to amuse you, my dear. This is a stale question.
