can God make such a large stone which He cannot lift Himself?

Answer 1

Yea he can.. Because he's god. God Can do anything! Right???

Answer 2

He can even make a pea heavy enough for Him to lift. But to do that, He has to sacrifice all existing matters and creatures that stands in the way of such a humongous and fantastic stone. He loves you that much He chose not to do it..or He chose not to be able to do it. He has a weakness afterall....it's you.

Answer 3

I believe, my friend, that you have came across a paradox. You see, God can make and do anything. He can make a stone that even Him cannot lift. But on the other hand, He also has the power to lift anything. But this implies that he cannot build a rock that he cannot lift.
Wow, i've convinced myself that this is not a paradox! Interesting.
So, your answer is: no, God cannot create a stone that He cannot lift.

Answer 4

This question is irrelevant for various reasons.

# The majority of matter floats in space so it wouldn´t have to be lifted.

# God exists in a different reality, the true reality which is as far seperated from this reality as this little playground he created.

# He CANNOT create anything that would enable him not to do
anything with that something, not because he can´t but because the possibility doesn´t exist in our reality, in another dimension he probably could create both at the same time all at once. With God there is NO limits. even for illogical irrelevant questions.

#The question is as daft as "could God kill himself" he can´t because he is immortal, but then one could say "aha then God can´t do everything therefore he aint God".

#NO One said that God could do everything anyway:)

Answer 5

Is not the planet Earth a very large stone, not to mention the rest of the planets in the Universe, and God seems to have no problem keeping them afloat.

Answer 6

Depends, can you lift a pebble?

I would bet you couldn't while standing on the surface of Jupiter.

Could you move a boulder the size of five men? On the moon you could.

Such a question is irrelevant and illogical, because it lack circumstance.

Answer 7

of course its a paradox.
but its a linguistic problem not a power-problem.

you can't lift something without something other than the item to be lifted, in reference to.
that is, there must be at least 2 objects "in existance" for one of them to be lifted. one to be lifted, and one to be lifted in relation to.
now, if you allow the item to be lifted to be larger(questionable) then your STILL limiting the size of the item lifted to be infinity-1.
if the item has to be smaller than the item its being lifted in relation to, then it has a maximum size of 49.999...% of Infinity.

either way, by wanting the stone to be lifted, you are limiting the maximum size, and thus not allowing the stone to be as large as it could potentially be.

and the stone made as large as could be, (containing the mass, energy, and sum total of all of infinity) could not be "lifted" because it would have nothing outside of it to lift in relation to.

Answer 8

NO NO NO God don,t need to lift a stone...He can just speak a word and the heavens and earth will shake,his words can move mountains..............Whatever made you think of that?

Answer 9

That would depend on the weight of the stone.

Answer 10

Yes. He can make one so large that Jesus who is also fully human cannot lift it. But Jesus is God that made it.

Answer 11

God makes rules, he can himself override them. In Gita, Krishna, makes rules, he overrides them for the good of Dharma.
