Can you explain this God paradox?

Question

If God can do anything, then He must be able to think of something he can't do. But if he can think of something he can't do ... then it's not true he can do anything.

Answer 1

There is nothing God cannot do.
But he can also think of something he cannot do.
There is your answer.

Yours is a byzantine question.

Answer 2

That is ridiculous. I might think about being an angel, but that doesn't change my human nature. If there was something God could not do, then by definition He would not be God. Therefore what you are really asking is whether God can imagine a situation in which He would not be God. No, He can't. Not because He lacks the power to do so, but because such a situation is an impossibility by definition. God is eternal. That is His nature. God cannot do anything that would contrasict His divine nature. Therefore He cannot learn (He is already all-knowing). He cannot forget (or He would no longer be all-knowing). He cannot do evil (for He is all-good). He cannot hate one of His creations (for God is love). And He cannot think of a situation where He would cease to be God, for God is eternal.

Answer 3

Not sure on that one, but it makes me think about adam and eve. If God knows everything then he knew already that when he created adam and eve they would take the fruit (no evidence it was an apple by the way) from the tree of knowledge. So in that respect he is guilty of a) criminal negligence, being in charge of the earth and allowing known criminals in, and b)aiding and abetting, by creating them and placing them near to the tree of knowledge where they could easily take the fruit. And if he didn't know they would take the fruit then he is not the all knowing being we have been led to believe.

Answer 4

Dear Warren Peace,

God has declared that He is truthful. And so one thing that God can not do is violate His own promises towards us. So God can not be unloving for He is love. God can not be unknowing because He is omniscient. And God can not stop loving people- but one might say then why would he allow someone to go to hell? And the reason is because people choose to-- God values our freedom and will not force us... but clearly in the Bible he has declared how much He longs to know us and how much he hates for people to turn away and defy him...

Hope that helps. Kindly,

Nickster

Answer 5

God can forestall suffering aka heaven. What God can not do is exchange how the international is. in case you do unlike suffering God created heaven first and in case you prefer to get there there's a manner. And confident God can forestall evil yet you ought to be A God to in no way make a mistake so stop complaining g approximately being human and doing evil. this is existence. not your gay strategies. gay skill chuffed by making use of the way. The bible mentioned yet be of stable cheer I even have triumph over the international. you are able to not have your cake and eat it except your God reason he can and overcame it too. you are able to to in case you enable him too. He has the solutions to the international using fact he overcame it.

Answer 6

I did like this question! It made me think a bit. I often wondered that if he was perfect and he was supposed to have created us in his image (Bible reference, not my belief), then why aren't we perfect like him? Why make us so flawed? It's more than free will...it's a flaw. So, I think that the thing that he cannot do is create a perfect thing. So he has limitations, according to the "paradox" scenario.

Answer 7

Stop wasting the brains God has given you and use them on positive, healthful, and constructive ways.

Answer 8

God is the radiation around you. He sees everything and he can do everything and you are a little dot can't compare with him. You better start believing him. When he asks the same question to you, how will you answer him?

Answer 9

God being omnipotent means He can do anything that is within His character and nature. Therefore, God cannot lie or deceive, He cannot sin nor do evil. He cannot create a being greater than Himself.

Answer 10

THE CREATOR OF CREATIVITY AND THE PROCESS OF CREATION.

The One, who created the attributes of creativity and the process of creation before Beginning is rightfully, deserves to be called as God of all creatures.

The One, who ordained the steps and stages of the Process of Creation, including the organic order & composition of the creatures and___ made the energy as an energy and formed the matter with energy and___ demonstrated the Will in such a way that the Will has become a universe of rules and regulations___ doubtlessly___ has every right to be called and accepted as the Real and the Absolute Living GOD.

To know that who is the creator of God___ a simple way it this___ that we should try to know at first, that who is the creator of creativity?

Whosoever has created and ordained creativity, is the Real Creator. And now, when God, has already told that there is no creator except God and God alone, is the Creator of everything and Ordainer of every order. Then, we have no alternative but to accept and believe God as the Absolute Creator in terms of the preachings of Prophets.

Who is the creator of God? Perfect answer to this question, is given in the following compound sentence, in the form of another question___ a magnificent question:
If God is the Creator of creativity and the process of creation, the both, then how can be there any possibility of God’s creator?

And____ the same sentence is the most convincing, and the most rational argument, of the God-hood of God. The sentence penetrates in our minds and hearts, and we become positively convinced, that God is really existing as the One Alone God, and the One Alone Creator.

The real belief in the One Alone Lord is like that:-

1. God must be believed as the One Alone Lord. By and by, firm refusal of the people-made unreal gods, is essential.

2. No person or thing should be treated as a “likeness” or a “similitude” of God, the One Alone Lord.

3. We should submit ourselves unconditionally to every Commandment of God, and the life should be managed, exactly, in accordance with God’s Will and God’s Commandments to avail God’s blessings.

4. The Day of Judgement should be believed, which is ordained by God for the judgement of human deeds and which is, certainly, not too far to approach.

5. To ensure the acceptance of God, we must adopt those ways, which have been prescribed by God and God’s Prophets. And___ this temporary life should be lead as a temporary life.

NO DOUBT

There is no god but God___ the One Alone Lord. Who is the All-Alone Creator of the universe and everything therein. God is Supernatural and Superphysical and Beyond of human intellect. God is not a creature, nor a thing, nor a person nor a sign and nothing is alike God. Nor anything can ever become alike God as God is the Absolute Holy.
Ruins of the declined civilizations and Pharaoh’s Empire___ do tell us that denial and disobedience of the One Alone God___ is nothing else but an open invitation to the curse and destruction. Whereas the belief in One Alone God is the positive correction of one’s affairs of the world and the Hereafter. Victory of Moses over Pharaoh is enough as a proof of the existence of One Alone God and God’s unshared power.

One is commanded to pray for blessing and refuge in God and when one prays. Our Lord Almighty helps and shows the miraculous power. Our Lord can do anything so those who think that even God can not help, they are open non-believers. Our Lord, the Alone God is kind to the creatures and when someone prays, worships or asks for help or blessing, God positively blesses and helps. Therefore, all the distressed ones must seek the forgiveness of there sins from God and must ask for help and blessings from God alone.

Our Lord is honour-able and to honour God, is to believe in God’s Almightiness. According to God, those who do not consider God, the Almighty, they are non-believers of God.

As a matter of fact, the distressed ones are those who are the people of lust. Desires overcome them totally and make them sick up to such an extent that they start thinking about suicide. They dream nothing but this perishable world and its exhibited exposure of pleasures. Everything around them makes them sick and they consider the act of suicide as an act of salvation. But they do not know that this world is created by their Lord, not to last forever. Instead it is all-in-all perishable and one day; it will come to an end definitely.

These people, in fact, do not believe in God. Instead, they believe in their own nature. Instead of commandments, they follow their own rules and ambitions. Therefore, they become an easy prey of manifold sickness and instead of living and leading the life, they start thinking about suicide.

Some commit suicide due to repeated failure, some due to overwhelming sickness and some due to rejection of love. In all cases, however, suiciders think about one and the same thing that there is no one to help them and change their circumstances.

They also do not believe that their Lord can help them, even, on the edge. Hardly these people understand the meanings of life and its subject. These people do not know that this life is a challenge, which should be accepted with courage. Life, of course, is a challenge and this challenge is made to win, not to lose. Act of killing oneself is an act of cowardliness, not of bravery. Brave people keep on fighting this challenge constantly.

One should seriously think in this matter that why the circumstances slide to the wrong track. Who changes their route and who can re-change and redirect the circumstances to the right track.

One should positively understand that:

1. There are the people in this world, which never fell into problems.

2. There are the people in this world, which remain usually unblessed. Those who remain unblessed are the people who do not believe in the powers of God in accordance with the Commandments. They have many gods instead of the One God, the Alone Lord. Those who believe in One Lord, the Alone God, are always blessed by God and that is clearly mentioned in “Torah”, the Book of Moses.

Believers of the One Lord are always blessed and the believers of many gods, other than the Lord, ultimately, fell into the problems having no solutions. Lord says: “that is the reward of the people who worship gods, other than Me”.
