God is omnicient. You can't know more than an infinite amount of knowledge.
So is it possible that God know more than everything? No. It is a play on words to then say "Well then God can not do anything". Everything is complete in Everything. The questioner is asking an invalid question.
Infinity +1 still equals infinity. There is no such thing in reality as infinity +1.
An infinite amount of power can only create an infinite amount of power. Just think of it as a "power" plateau. You cant be stronger than the strongest.
This is why God cannot create a rock heavier than he himself can pick up. He cant make it MORE than infinitely heavy.
Can God destroy himself? No... (To destroy someting all powerful would take something greater than all powerful.)
But Im sure God, since he is omnicient, although perhaps being displeased at your unfaithful "test" question, has the perfect answer.
God Bless you.

Yes he can and did he made the law, the Law was a rock he can't move because if he did it would invalidate the law. To answer the rest of the question. Yes he can then move it. With the Christ he fulfilled the law, and the new covenant made it so we no longer had to live under the law, there by moving it.

The answers is no, with his choice not limiting him. To say yes would imply that God could create something into existence that could match his power, and thus his infinite existence, which is contradicted on the basis of its creation.

You are positing an antropomorphic God, like Zeus. Think of God as a divine force and you'll see the question makes no sense.
or if you'd prefer a straight answer:

Yes
a god's choice dictates what it can do.
go creates a rock which he cannot pick up. therefore, he cannot pick up the rock.
if and when his mind changes, he can then pick up the rock.
but that is applying human logic to an illogical problem

This is what is called a contradiction. It actually indicates just the opposite (most powerful & almightly) of what the questioner is trying or attempting to prove (less powerful). It's just a more subtle or tricky way of expressing absolute infinite power.

I am really tired of seeing this same question come up again & again, & again, & again!
The answer is NO!
Who created the rock in the first place?

You are new, right?
Do a search on that question, and you'll see how many times it has been asked and answered.
Welcome.

the answer is no because he is the all mighty and therfore be able to do as he wishes, and he may be able to pick it up if he wishes and he may not be able to pick it up of he wishes, and as long as he may be able to pick it up if he wishes, brings the answer No.
