God can do everything?

Question

If God can do everything, then is it possible for God to make a stone so big and heavy that he himself cannot lift it?

Answer 1

God is not stupid. Only an idiot would make a stone that they cant lift and God is further away from being an idiot than anyone. lol

Anyway, seeing as he can do anything, if he was to make a stone he cant lift, hed stil be able to lift it. Other wise it just wouldnt make sense, would it?

; D

Answer 2

An oldie but a goodie. Here's another: If God is perfect then there can be nothing better than him, right? So the only thing better than a god who exists who created the universe would be a god who doesn't exist who created the universe, since that would be an even more impressive feat. After a being that didn't exist created a whole universe, what could God do to impress anyone?

Yes, it's absurd, but no more so than believing that God created the universe, created woman from a rib, put millions of animals onto a tiny 3-level boat for over a year with 8 people and enough food for all of them, gave proper instructions on how to beat your servants, prohibited male but not female homosexuality, wrote books directly through prophets but included phrases like "though I have much to write to you, I would rather not use paper and ink," (the list goes on...)

Answer 3

The problem with the whole 'stone' joke, is that in order for it to work, you have to put limits on the infinite.

That said, god can do almost everything...except one tiny thing: exist in a natural world.

Answer 4

I think the question is repeated. I will give the same answer. The entire cosmos with myriads planets and stars, more gigantic than Jupiter or Saturn has been created and put in motion without getting collided. The gravitational force in fact is the creation of God. I think you are misinformed about the power of Almighty which is beyond our mental comprehension.

Answer 5

For crying out loud, come up with something new, we've heard this before. Of course there are things that God cannot do, by His very nature He is perfectly good and just, and because He is perfectly good He cannot lie, steal, ect... in other words He cannot sin. And because He is perfectly just, He cannot let sin go unpunished.

Answer 6

I can build a stone wall that I cannot lift. It proves nothing.

Answer 7

that wold be pointless........

did you get this idea from the story of the magician who can make anything comes to take over a village and a boy fools him into making a rock so big that he coudnt lift it so he went away???

your kinda creative.....
but sorry, i dont think that God would waste His time doing that...even thiugh He is eternal...

=)

Answer 8

if there is no human being, there is no god. human being created or imagined god, it can not see even its creation or imaginations. Actually god is as powerful as believer. Sometimes believer can create a stone out of its stamina and kill with its load. Creation of believer is creation of god.

Answer 9

The only thing God cannot do is act contrary to His nature. I realize that's not what you're asking, but the question you asked is irrelevant, because, even if He could, He could just as easily un-create it.

Answer 10

No and he can't lie and he can't force anyone to smarten up, not even for their own sake. It's all up to us how smart or dumb we want to be. He didn't make robots. He created men in his image.
His depth of understanding and wisdom and power and justice (divine justice) is such that people who ask questions like you just did, cannot even begin to scratch the surface of who he is or have no idea whatsoever of the Highest form of spiritual intelligence that is HIM. He can't lie, He can't be stupid, He can't be bad and He can't stand listening to you right now. Sorry dude... this happens often when we speak of things we know nothing of, especially when it's done for the wrong motives...
