This question is like asking...
"If 2+2=4 which 2 makes the other equal to 4?"
This question is an example of what's called circular reasoning. God is able to do anything. So if he made a rock that he couldn't pick up. He could pick it up. Doesn't make any sense does it? The answer supports half of the question yet the other half supports the opposite answer.

right it incredibly is the respond. exciting question with a sprint of absurity. in spite of the incontrovertible fact that, an all-useful being won't be able to fail. for this reason, God can create a rock of super length, yet, considering the fact that he's all-useful, he will continuously be waiting to develop it. Come on human beings, generalities are imprecise and inadequate statements. no longer all Christians are alike. i'm no longer indignant as some have published. deliver it on. a million Peter 3:15

Once a day, folks, it keeps your brain working.
Repeat after me:
The concept of "a rock so heavy it cannot be lifted by a being which can lift everything" is a vacuous concept -- i.e., it is meaningless and logically contradictory. God cannot do logically contradictory things, not because there is some specifiable action of which God is incapable, but because a logical contradiction fails to specify anything at all.
In short, the problem is not with God, but with the incoherency of your question.
As C.S. Lewis said, "Nonsense does not acquire sense because the words 'God can' are prefixed to it."

This question is getting old and tiresome. Let me ask you this, can you come up with a rock so heavy that you cannot pick it up? The answer is no, you can't, because size and weight is dependent of conditions. You can move a several ton rock in space, but you could not pick up a grain of sand on Jupiter.

God could yes, however a ninja could create a shuriken so destructive, it would destroy said rock.

That is semantics, not an actual test. It; like asking can he make a square circle. You either believe he can do anything, or you believe he is limited by logic to do only logically consistent things.

Yes. And God is also able to impregnate his own mother and thus be born as himself.

Jesus Christ is the Almighty, The Great and Powerful God. There is nothing that He cannot do.
