God allmighty?

Question

If God si allmighty, allpowerful, able to do anything at all, then can He build a rock.. sooo big, that even He Himself couldn't lift it up? Coz if he can't build such a rock, then He's not allmighty. And if He can, then He can't lift it, thus He's not allmighty aswell... Am I wrong?

1. For all the ppl. that are taking this too personal: chill! It's just a question. So stop labeling anyone around here, and even if you are, I couldn't care less.

2. Grab a book from time to time, maybe this way you'll learn about Godel and about paradoxes, about the possibility of building a undecidable question. In any system based on true and false assertions we can build propositions that have an undecidable value of truth. Ergo the proposition above. Semantically it's meaningless. A smart answer from a Beliver could've been: our language is too weak to describe God.

3. Stop spreading so much hate around you, tagging and labeling ppl. Nobody said anything, or at least meant to say anything, bad about God!

Why ask?

Answer 2

Even though the grammar and context is poor this question brings a quite rational ideal. We all have the power of creating something greater than us. Which would make us greater than a god in that aspect. But, a god can only make something lesser than what he is. Which would mean he lacks power to create something beyond his power or creation or is inferior to something. Which would mean he has a limit in a limitless universe. And he submits to some force of limitations.

And to the wonderful professor story good and evil are two distinctive choices. To say something is in the absence would mean one was in the whole or always present such as a glass half empty.

We are not born good nor evil. So whos to say evil is an absence of god. And if you support that theory than you'd say we are actually in absence of evil since we are born it supposedly.

But, I reject both those theories to say we are born neither good or evil. Life defines itself. We lack the conscious knowledge to determine society's standards of right and wrong. So we are not evil at birth we act instinctual based on the necessity of our survival.

Because we are individuals we lack nothing but, the tools we may need to survive given we don't have them. The distinction of right and wrong are of equal value. You can never have one without the other if so than neither exist.

An answer to gbiaki...
The university professor challenged his students with this question. Did God create everything that exists? A student bravely replied, "Yes, he did!"

"God created everything? The professor asked.

"Yes sir", the student replied.

The professor answered, "If God created everything, then God created evil since evil exists, and according to the principal that our works define who we are then God is evil". The student became quiet before such an answer. The professor was quite pleased with himself and boasted to the students that he had proven once more that the Christian faith was a myth.

Another student raised his hand and said, "Can I ask you a question professor?"

"Of course", replied the professor.

The student stood up and asked, "Professor, does cold exist?"

"What kind of question is this? Of course it exists. Have you never been cold?" The students snickered at the young man's question.

The young man replied, "In fact sir, cold does not exist. According to the laws of physics, what we consider cold is in reality the absence of heat. Every body or object is susceptible to study when it has or transmits energy, and heat is what makes a body or matter have or transmit energy. Absolute zero (-460 degrees F) is the total absence of heat; all matter becomes inert and incapable of reaction at that temperature. Cold does not exist. We have created this word to describe how we feel if we have no heat."

The student continued, "Professor, does darkness exist?"

The professor responded, "Of course it does."

The student replied, "Once again you are wrong sir, darkness does not exist either. Darkness is in reality the absence of light. Light we can study, but not darkness. In fact we can use Newton's prism to break white light into many colors and study the various wavelengths of each color. You cannot measure darkness. A simple ray of light can break into a world of darkness and illuminate it. How can you know how dark a certain space is? You measure the amount of light present. Isn't this correct? Darkness is a term used by man to describe what happens when there is no light present."

Finally the young man asked the professor, "Sir, does evil exist?"

Now uncertain, the professor responded, "Of course as I have already said. We see it every day. It is in the daily example of man's inhumanity to man. It is in the multitude of crime and violence everywhere in the world. These manifestations are nothing else but evil."

To this the student replied, "Evil does not exist sir, or at least it does not exist unto itself. Evil is simply the absence of God. It is just like darkness and cold, a word that man has created to describe the absence of God. God did not create evil. Evil is not like faith, or love that exist just as does light and heat. Evil is the result of what happens when man does not have God's love present in his heart. It's like the cold that comes when there is no heat or the darkness that comes when there is no light."

The professor sat down.

Answer 4

You forgot one thing, if there was a mysterious invisible superbeing called "God", and that God had already created everything, then he already has created the biggest "rock" in existence. He also would have no problem lifting ANY weight because that same God, having created everything, created gravity, in which case he would have the ability to cancel gravity, thus making even the largest object weightless.

Answer 5

I see that now we are asking God the Almighty to build a rock; why a rock may I ask, and not a mountain? Why a mountain may I ask, and not another world? If He on the other hand does build a rock for you, will you then call him the Rock-God? Poor God, the things that He is asked to go through for us!!!

Answer 6

What is God's most fantastic achievement?

Surely it is to not exist: Douglas Gaskings 'proof':

1. The creation of the world is the most marvelous achievement imaginable.
2. The merit of an achievement is the product of its intrinsic quality, and the ability of its creator.
3. The greater the disability (or handicap) of the creator, the more impressive the achievement.
4. The most formidable handicap for a creator would be non-existence.
5. Therefore if we suppose that the universe is the product of an existent creator we can conceive a greater being - namely, one who created everything whilst not existing.
6. An existing God therefore would not be a being greater than which a greater cannot be conceived because of an even more formidable and incredible creator would be a God which did not exist.
7. Ergo. God does not exist.

Your question borders on temptation, and it is written that "thou shalt not tempt the Lord thy God"
Christ telling the Satan in the Gospel of Matthew

Answer 8

God cannot do something that contradicts His nature. Doing what you suggest would contradict His nature. Similarly, He cannot sin; it would also go against His nature. This does not lessen His power.

Answer 9

Why do you insist on putting God in a box? He is able to do all things...even if you are unable to comprehend.
