If there is really a God, can you answer this for me?

Question

It says in the Bible 'With God, all things are possible".
Then, is it possible for God to create something so big that it is impossible for him to move it?
If it isn't possible, then the Bible is lying.
If it is possible, then the Bible is still lying.
Please try to explain it to me, comedy effect is welcome here too if you must.

So far the score is Realists-3 good answers
Christians -0 good answers
I am really looking for an answer and the christians can only hurl insults and confusing nonsensical, made up answers that have nothing to do with the issue.
No wonder they are having such trouble converting more people into their flocks.

Pleaseread the question carefully, it says is it possible for God to make something that is IMPOSSIBLE for him to move.
All things are not possible if he can move it or it is impossible for him to create it.

Answer 1

finally a god question is asked in the right category-and better yet a bunch of christians answered-it appears what i have been saying all along is true---its just a myth---thank you--have a star----smile and enjoy the night

Answer 2

That's really easy, even though it's a trick question. All things being possible means that there's nothing impossible, and therefore he can move anything and create anything. If he can do anything then he can move anything, and even if he can move anything, then nothing is too big for him to move.
Basically what youre asking, though, is the same as the age old question of "if a tree falls and no one is around to hear it, does it make a sound".
Does it make more sense now?
Of course, Jim up above is right, and you're totally taking it out of context. It's also in the Bible that the devil can taint the word of the scripture to selfish use. Basically the only things you're safe with listening to are the Ten Commandments...

Answer 3

The Bible was written by humans and then revised by humans and then revised by humans and then revised by humans again.
People can't take the Bible as fact,word for word. Still, no, the Bible can't be lying, it is a book, books don't lie, the people who write books lie, so the people who wrote the Bible would be lying, or revised it etc.
Again though, to argue the other point,the Bible has different interpretations, it may not literally mean ALL things are possible.

Hope this helps.

Clearly, we see that the verse has been taken out of context.

We can see that, taken into context, Jesus is speaking of salvation (and, specifically, salvation of the poor, who do not have the wherewithal to comply with the whole of Mosaic Law). With further study of the original text
http://cf.blueletterbible.org/lang/lexicon/lexicon.cfm?Strongs=G3956&Version=kjv
we see that there are several possible translations of this word, and "all things' is merely the most generic. A more literally accurate translation is "each", "all" or "any" (excluding the added word, "things"), and this could refer to salvation (as appears to be the case by the context). In other words, the more accurate translation may be (re-inserting the context in brackets) "With God, any [person's salvation] is possible.

So, let's review, taking the context into consideration.

The passage in no way addresses the creation of any object. It is referring strictly to the subject of salvation (of the poor). In that context, i.e. the salvation of the poor, all things are possible.

When a study of the underlying words is performed, this meaning is even more certain than context would indicate. In other words, taking passages out of context teaches nothing other than the ability to support your favorite claim (whatever that may be) in a misleading manner.

Looks like you don't need more help confusing yourself. The bible tries to point you toward the essence of life which is yourself at the moment realizing yourself to your fullest. You only have this chance of life to do so. If all you can come up with is the bible is lieing well, all the more to your boring...argument.

Answer 6

well to answer your question I say God can do anything. If there was anything impossible to us. He always knows the answer. Nothing is impossible to God so how can he make something impossible?
