that is a paradox. such an object can not exist. i have a story for you:

Wise teacher was asked by an unbeliever, can God make the whole world small enough to fit into an egg? Wise teacher said "come with me". The two men went outside and climbed to the top of the mountain. Wise teacher asked "what do you see?" Unbeliever said "I see mountains, rivers, trees. . . I feel like I can see the whole world from here."

Wise teacher said "See? God can fit the whole world into your eyeball, which is smaller than an egg."

Being all-powerful and all-wise, there are certain things that God can't do. He can't die. He can't create something more powerful than him. He can't be ignorant of something. God has certain limitations such as the fact that, as a spirit, he can't feel pain. Jesus, as an earthly man, had limitations too; he felt pain, he perhaps didn't know everything (such as "the last hour". The Holy Spirit has limitations too - it can't do corrupt or evil things. These things do not de-throne God because if God could create something more powerful than him he wouldn't be God. You can't create something bigger than infinite. As a mortal, Jesus had to suffer pain, or else he wouldn't be a full mortal. The Holy Spirit cannot be evil, otherwise it would not be Holy. None of these de-throne God, but in fact they better show how he is Almighty and Holy, and nothing exceeds him. Remember though, while Jesus was mortal on earth, even the angels attended to him and served him. Why would angels serve a mortal unless that mortal was Holy and had Authority?

Are you trying to ask if God can make a rock so heavy that He can't lift it? God can create a rock, and make that rock as big as He wants. And He can also lift any rock. God bless!

Can God create a rock He cannot lift? Since an all-powerful being will always be able to accomplish whatever He sets out to do, it is impossible for an all-powerful being to fail. The above atheistic argument is arguing that since God is all-powerful He can do anything - even fail. This is like saying that since God is all-powerful He can be not all-powerful. Obviously, this is absurd. An all-powerful being cannot fail. Therefore, God can create a rock of tremendous size, but, since He is all-powerful, He will always be able to lift it. The ability to fail is not a part of omnipotence.

The atheist distorts the biblical definition of omnipotence in order to "prove" that God cannot exist. Contrary to their claims, omnipotence does not include the ability to do things that are, by definition, impossible. Neither does omnipotence include the ability to fail. By defining omnipotence as requiring one to have the ability to fail, atheists have defined omnipotence as being impossible. Of course, an omnipotent God would never fail.

These kinds of arguments are clearly illogical and even silly, although they are commonly used by inexperienced atheists. Most intelligent atheists have dropped these kinds of arguments long ago.

On the one hand, you have an uncreated Being who encloses the created universe within Himself. No one can tell where He begins and where He ends. On the other hand, you have a rock. However big it is, it has to begin and end somewhere. That means G-d can enclose it, move it, make it bigger or smaller, whatever He wants to do.

In a nutshell: G-d is infinite; therefore, He will always be greater than anything finite/anything created. Including your theoretical rock.

we are the creation of our own destiny. As per Hindu sacred religion, we carry all good and bad deeds life after life. There is no end unless we pray for unification of self with the divineliness.
Hence there is always a possible way to complete mergence with God in this life by a simple and wonderful meditation

He can make a huge rock and lift it. But the planet that He is standing on will be the component that moves.
