can god really do anything?

Question

Can god build a wall so high that he can't jump over it?

Answer 1

Damn, theists are ignorant.

Some of them who believe in God say 'yes, so?' - they don't see what it would imply about God's omnipotence if there was something he couldn't do.

It's like debating with 10 year olds.

Answer 2

I think God can do anything.
You can see that to build a wall so high that he could not jump is not possible as to build that wall He must be ebough that He can build it. If he can build it than he can jump over it.

2- To jump is an act. If anyone belives that God can do anything than it is his belive that He can jump.
3- God exists everywhere else in the world. He stays and He stays not. He has home and he has not.

God is God. We could not define Him but just prise him as we can.

Answer 3

The intelligence of the One True God is far higher than human intelligence. Man can build the wall only on earth, God can build it anywhere in the universes at any heights. And He can allow even an ant to jump over any of those walls. How can you measure His height and witness His jump? Please reconsider your level of reasoning.

Answer 4

God can't do anything that is impossible by definition. He can't make a "round" square or parallel lines that cross. Since He is the Almighty God, He can't make a weight so great that He can't lift it or a wall so high that He can't jump over it because by definition such objects cannot exist.

God also cannot make a mistake because He is perfect, nor can He learn anything because He already knows everything past, present, and future.

Answer 5

Do you know how many times this kind of question has come up?

Break it down like this...

Can something infinite be beyond inifinity?

The answer is there is no valid answer since this is not a valid question.

It is because this question creates a paradox. It is missing crucial info such as the nature of God. It is self refuting.

Another similiar question would be, Can I, a human, stop being human?

Can God not be God?

Anyone who tries to answer this question falls into a trap. This question and its many forms are favorites of some who like to spin God believers in circles.

If they answer yes then God's power is limited.

If they answer no then God's power is limited.

Answer 6

if god exists which i dont think he does - then no. because that would make him infallible - however by simply posing this question you prove that god is not omnipident (all doing)

the central foundation/ preconception of god is that he is infallible - can do anything and is never wrong etc, well if he can make a wall high enough that he cant jump it then it is a lie - he cannot be infallible if this is true. however if he cant then surely that also disproves his exitence because he cant make the wall high enough that he cant jump over it

god cannot exist due to this question

very good question

Answer 7

can god build a wall so high that he cant jump over it?
There is a fallacy in that logic of contradictory premise...

Answer 8

He created the universe... I guess He could build a wall... but the question is WHY would He want to? I suppose it's a good thing HE'S God and not some of us, eh?

Answer 9

God can do anything and everything! Why should he waste his time building a wall?

Answer 10

since we are talking fiction.....does god lack the power to build such a wall or does he lack the ability to leap such a wall? hmmmm i say lacks the ability to leap such a wall. arthritis in the knees, you know after all this time some stifness must be setting in.
