Wow, returned the age previous question. Did you come back up with this your self? or maybe examine it someplace and picture it became some thing new? God can do something, different than issues that are intrinsically impossible. Your question is nonsensical. Can God make a sq. circle? became the author created? returned, in case you accompanied your guy or woman good judgment, you would be a christian by making use of now. think of, do no longer merely parrot what looks to sound sturdy because of the fact it assaults your meant enemy.

No. If He could not pick it up He would not be omnipotent, and therefore would not be God. Therefore this silly question is really asking if God can create a situation in which He is not God. No! Because by His divine nature God is not only omnipotent but also eternal and omnipresent. Therefore there cannot be a place, situation, or moment in time when He is not God.

His Omnipotence means power to do all that is intrinsically possible, not to do the intrinsically impossible. You may attribute miracles to Him, but not nonsense. This is no limit to His power. If you choose to say 'God can give a creature free will and at the same time withhold free will from it,' you have not succeeded in saying anything about God: meaningless combinations of words do not suddenly acquire meaning simply because we prefix to them the two other words 'God can.'... It is no more possible for God than for the weakest of His creatures to carry out both of two mutually exclusive alternatives; not because His power meets an obstacle, but because nonsense remains nonsense even when we talk it about God.

Which God are you asking about?
Here's the standard Chrstian reply: Since an all-powerful being will always be able to accomplish whatever He sets out to do, it is impossible for an all-powerful being to fail. God can create a rock of tremendous size, but, since He is all-powerful, He will always be able to lift it. The ability to fail is not a part of omnipotence.

You are talking about a supposedly divine being who moves planets around so that would be a definate no
