Can God create a smartie which which is so heavy that God cannot lift it?

Question

Slave to JC
The answer to your question is 'Yes.' so very easily.

Answer 1

Ah, the paradox of omnipotence.

The answer is yes and no, as to an omnipotent being all is possible. Even the impossible.


I however do not believe any force to be omnipotent.

Answer 2

In the beginning, Rowantree-Macintosh created the Smartie and on the seventh day did have a break- had a kit kat. This wonderous creation spread much happiness upon the face of the Earth. But it came to pass that the Swiss Nestle devil eyed the heavenly multitude of confections and lusted after them and seeking to posses them, did descend upon Anglia and did offer temptation unto the confectionery creators. Lo, there was much wailing and gnashing of teeth until Rowntree had been smote and devoured by Nestle, and a great sadness fell upon the land of Brittania and the deciples of Rowntree-Macintosh would forever mourn the passing of the true creator. Thus endeth the lesson.
Originally, I would have said, "Only Smarties have the answer!"
But as we now know, Nestle are the only ones who 'lifted' Smarties!

Answer 3

I agree with Johnny Cee. I've heard this question stated many times before in different ways, but I believe there is a simple, logical answer.

Johnny is correct in saying that God cannot do anything contradictory to His nature. Thus, he could not create (or rather would not choose to create) a smartie to heavy to lift because in turn, He would be creating something more powerful than Himself.

Answer 4

We're talking monotheism here, right?

We're also assuming there is such a thing as a Big G god, yes?

If yes to both the above, then your answer is in your own believed or wished version of such a being. If your idol is construed to be all-powerful, then he/she/it can choose to do whatever the whim of the moment is. Nothing is impossible for an unlimited being. Additionally, the unliftable could be made liftable if the almighty one has a change of mind about the whole thing.

If your worship subject has limits, what are they and who says so? Isn't one of the things stated about a One God is that it's mind is unknowable and so is its essence?

Ever think we have a lot of nerve and arrogance to assume we can say anything about a god?

Answer 5

There are any number of things the God of the Bible cannot or will not do.
1) God cannot sin.
2) God cannot lie.
3) God cannot break covenant.
4) God cannot remember sin under the Blood.
5) God cannot change.
6) God cannot behave contrary to His Divine Nature.

There are probably other things God cannot do. See what your Bible study comes up with.

Happy Hanukkah, Merry Christmas

Answer 6

What is more difficult to create or to be a smartie? I mean that can God create something in His image ? Or better can God be a man?

Answer 7

Can God create a smartie.....? Why would God want to create a Smartie when Nestles do a perfectly good job! I would ask them instead...

Answer 8

The proper way to answer this from a christian point of view, though I hapen to be pagan, is "God can create anything and everything, but he will always have complete control over it if he so wishes to intervene."

Paradox, schmaradox lol

Answer 9

can a smartie create a God so big, that he is infathomable?

I do like your twist on the question

Answer 10

Of course. i can build a house that is too heavy for me to lift so therefore GOD could involve himself in the same sort of task.

OH BUGGER ! I've just remembered he's all powerful !
