That is a paradox.
That is the paradox of the stone.
It's a problem of language that tries to challenge the omnipotence of God.
But it's really just a contradiction.

Imaginative question - clever actually.
Of course, God can lift anything (even your spirits). He could lift and change the whole Universe if he`d a mind to.
The biggest rock in the Universe is smaller than a grain of sand to God. In fact, size is of no consequence to him...
The Universe and everything in it could merely be God`s insubstantial dream - and when he wakes, it (and we) will all be gone - phoof! Dissolved like a thought bubble.

Yes. He might not be able to move the rock, but he could move the place, thus readjusting the rock. God is smart, but he can't fool himself.

Exactly! And He wouldn't make a mistake, He knows the future, so He would know the "mistake" a head of time and know not to do it.

There wouldn't be any such rock that GOD could not lift.
