A common answer to these types of questions is that even God cannot do things that are by definition impossible.
Then what's the point???????? You're going to devote your life to a being who has the amazing ability to do all POSSIBLE things. I can do all possible things, given the time and resources. Isn't it basic to the concept of God that at the very least he can do things that are impossible?
This reminds me of a much repeated conversation with an old roommate of mine. While watching Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, he had absolutely no problem accepting the idea of the Holy Grail, and that it could grant immortality or heal any wounds. But when Indy clearly empties all the water from the cup on his father's bullet wound, and then raises it to his lips so he can drink, my roommate got all incredulous. The Grail was obviously empty and then somehow had water again. What did it do, make more water? That's just silly of course.

Another example of the "Can God create a rock so heavy that even He couldn't lift it" fallacy of contradictory premises (1&2). In a universe where such things are said to exist and by their nature are contradictory to each other, it can't be logically asserted that both terms can simultaneously be ascribed to a single object. You might as well try to answer "Into what shape of hole would a round square fit?" It's fun, but in a non-sensical way.
As for the third, you might want to post that as a seperate question and see what becomes of it in terms of the answers you get. Good luck.

Depends on your definition of God. But, assuming that you're referring to Him in the traditional sense of the word, then yes, it is possible for Him to make a square circle.

I can make a shape that is 100% square and 100% circle.
Take a cylindrical dowel with a 1" diameter and cut it off so it is 1" long. The dowel will look like a circle from the top and a square from the side. Two people can look at it so that one sees a circle and the other sees a square at the same time.

God cannot do anything that goes against His established laws. Therefore your first question and your second question both are foolish and wasted verbage.
The third question being about Christ is something that God can do because He can be everywhere at once. Therefore He can reside inside a human body and fill the universe at the same time.
We will never figure that out in this lifetime - that is why we are
told that "Without faith it is impossible to please God."

I don't think God is interested of doing these things...

No, because that would be illogical.. and so is the idea of God.
