I believe that Nothing is impossible with God. I mean, he's God.. he can do ANYTHING.. right? Well. Then a question enters.. if God can do Anything, could God sin? Could he be Evil? It just seems like if he could do anything than he could surely be evil and sin... But it is against his nature to sin. So would God still be God if he sinned? But yeah, that is it i guess.. i mean could God create a rock that he couldnt lift? Sure he could create a big rock... but if he could do anything... he could ALWAYS lift it... even if he created if to be impossible for even him to lift. So again. sorry my questions are so confusing. But hopefully you caught the drift. Thanks for your responses (in advance).

Glad that you re asking questions for shows you have a active mind and God encourages this so you will know that He is and that He can do all and all is possible with God. You need to ask yourself what is sin. Is sin not knowing something is wrong and then deciding to do it and who is it that gave us the laws and the 10 commandments and told us what is wrong and what is right to do but God by giving us these laws. So when we sin we break God's Laws,His Rules--but as far as I know no one is above God and no one has given Rules or Laws to God to follow. So it reasons that God cannot sin for He is not answerable to anyone else . God can create anything and He did by creating the universe-sun,moon, stars,the earth and you and me. So all the heavy big rocks that exist on earth He already created. He created the mountains. God doesn't have to lift-He being so powerful can just think the rock off the ground and it moves. As you get older you'll understand more and more how God is. I know more now that I'm grown than when I was a kid. Just always know that God Loves you and that there is no one on this big wide world just like you. Keep on asking the questions and keep on loving God.

When the Bible says that "nothing is impossible with God" it refers to Him working the miracle of bringing even a rich person into the Kingdom of Heaven. In another passage in Hebrews 6 it says that it IS impossible for God to lie.
Hebrews 6:18 That by two immutable things, in which it was impossible for God to lie, we might have a strong consolation, who have fled for refuge to lay hold upon the hope set before us:
There are several things that God cannot do that are either stated in the Bible or implied by the revelation of God's nature.
James 1:13 Let no man say when he is tempted, I am tempted of God: for God cannot be tempted with evil, neither tempteth he any man:
He cannot be tempted with evil. He cannot learn anything because He already knows everything. He cannot make a mistake because He is perfect. Also He cannot do things that are impossible by definition. He cannot make parallel lines cross or make a square circle. Nor can the Almighty God of Heaven create a rock so large that not even He could lift it because it is impossible for such an object to exist.

God is purely good and righteous, and cannot commit a sin. He sets the rules and the standard, if God does something, it's for good and cannot be evil or sinful. God may limit Himself in what He does, but that is another reason He is so perfect, is because of how He chooses to limit Himself. I wouldn't burden yourself with these philosophical ramblings too much, they are interesting to think about, but you should maybe try and focus more on how you can serve a God powerful enough to create an unmovable rock.

I believe what you have stated is a double negative and actually makes no sense in English grammar.
I think it should say something along the lines of anything is impossible with god... right?
My response to that would be if thats the case, then why isn't god stopping the famines, droughts, and suffering which are all too common today and seem impossible to stop.
Therefore, if there is a god (which I don't believe), he is one sick bastard with a lot to explain.

No one, even God, can do something completely contrary to the nature of the thing. So, no, He can't create a rock he can't lift, and He can't be evil, because he is the fullness of goodness. He wouldn't do anything we consider a sin, because he would not choose to act contrary to his own perfect will. Sin is us offending or betraying God; God would never betray God.

God can't sin because sin is the transgression of the law. He made all laws, not for Himself but for his creation. He can't transgress something that doesn't restrict him.
No, God can't make a rock he can't lift because that is a contradiction. There is no such thing as contradiction in God. In fact, what you asked was for God to contradict Himself. Like asking God to kill Himself. Since God has no end then again, that's a contradiction.

There is a point in a persons life when they're beyond God's reach because of their own free will. Ever heard of the saying not even God can help them? Therefore all things are not possible to God.

You are right God is God and yes He can do anything but fail. I think what you are trying to say is that no He didn't sin but He took on mans sins that we many have away to the Father. Because the He CAN NOT look unto sin. So Jesus is on the right hand of the Father making interession for you and I. Mean when the devil goes to God and says see I told you that they weren't going to do what you told them to do. Jesus is right there saying Father give them another chance they will get it right, giving us time to get it right so that we can make it to heaven inspite of our faults as long as we repent of our sins.( I hope this helps you)
His In Service....

so a methods, no longer many answering rather looks to compliment that can assist you. i think of you're pertaining to the passage that states "with God, all issues are available." there is no longer something He won't have the capacity to do. there'll continually be issues we can't do. some human beings have a project with that. Sorry on your discomfort. you may nicely be suffering for longer than you need, yet that doesn't advise there is no solid which could come out of your existence. How plenty do you artwork to help others with their suffering? The greater you concentration on others, instead of your self, the greater which skill your existence could have. it relatively is the place you will discover the desire you have lost.
