God is all mighty, supposedly, no?. So,could he create a so heavy stone that even not him could lift it?

Answer 1

what good are these trivial questions? they're not even profound enough to be rhetorical.

Answer 2

The Creator is always stronger than created things. He cannot be anything what is against His character. For example He cannot cease to be God. So He would not create stone so heavy He cannot life it. So you can be ensured that He is bigger than any of your problems. : )

Answer 3

no he could not create a stone that was so heavy he could not lift himself. . . . . he is all mighty god, he can create a stone that is too heavy for us to lift, but never him, no matter how heavy he made it, he would be able to lift. . . .

Answer 4

He tried to make a stone like that, but it slipped and fell on my head! I've been dizzy about God ever since!

Answer 5

The thing is, God isn't a person, he doesn't have strength limits, so thats an impossible question, like someone saying I always lie, when they are telling the truth

Answer 6

Your observations ignore the proper, formal understanding of the concept of omnipotence.

The philosophical rationale is that a supreme being, God, cannot act in an illogical manner with respect to that being's divine and perfect attributes. Hence, God cannot make a rock so big that He could not move it, nor could God do anything that would be a logical contradiction to His divine nature.

Omnipotence means God can do everything **that is possible** within the boundaries of a supreme being. Omnipotence doesn’t mean that God can do anything. The concept of omnipotence has to do with power, not ability per se. In fact, there are many things God can’t do, for example,

- God can’t make square circles.

- God cannot lie.

- What God has created in His image, God cannot annihilate (to erase from existence, to destroy completely).

- God cannot create a morally free creature that couldn’t choose evil or the creature would not be morally free to choose.

None of these, though, have to do with power. Instead, they are logically contradictory, and therefore contrary to God’s rational nature.

See also:
"Whatever implies being and nonbeing simultaneously is incompatible with the absolute possibility which falls under divine omnipotence. Such a contradiction is not subject to it, not from any impotence in God, but because it simply does not have the nature of being feasible or possible. Whatever, then, does not involve a contradiction is in the realm of the possible with respect to which God is omnipotent. Whatever involves a contradiction is not within the scope of omnipotence because it cannot qualify for possibility. Better, however, to say that it cannot be done, rather than God cannot do it." (T. Aquinas Summa Theologica p. 163-164 , Volume I, ques. 15 ans. 3)

One needs to have a formal knowledge of philosophy and logic to understand the nature of omnipotence. Just claiming Go is all powerful so he can do anything is nonsensical to the trained person. Here are some references for your further study:

Answer 7

This is the atheist version of the Pascal's Wager questions. And just as silly.

Answer 8

before anyone starts drinking to this...

if God made a rock heavier than he could lift, he could make himself strong enough to lift it again. lol.

Basically the problem of this question is that it presumes an anthropomorphic God...subject to the laws of reality and not the purveyor of the laws themselves.
God is transcendent...not subject to our projections.

Answer 9

Well the problem with that is an that for him to do such a thing would be sin, and the Bible says that God can't sin.

Answer 10

Why a stone. Entire Cosmos with all planets are his creation only and that too they are in orbit suspended in gravity.

Answer 11

you think earth is big? you think a stone on earth could be big? ohhhh such a small world you live in my friend :)

watch this video and realize just HOW SMALL we humans are.....we are not even the size of a speck of dust compared to the universe.
