For all you fanatics out there, can God create a rock so big even he can not lift it?

It's ignorant in the fact that he thinks he knows how God works. Our minds cannot grasp His infinity, there's just no way. God isn't as simple as you think, and a rock? Come on.

Calling religious people fans?


Well religious people are fans of whomever or whatever they worship.
Ok ..I knew you meant fanatics, and I agree, that's a bit extreme.

As to answering the OP ... in doing so, I would be pertaining to a belief that I don't believe.

However, if I did believe, I would say that God could do both.

oops..sorry..meant to say he could create a rock so big, however being God, he would never be able to create one too heavy for him to lift.

god


Is there anything you're planning on saying, or are you just leaving it to meaningless one-word posts?

This isn't just a regular VS forum, and if it was, that would have been spam. Read the original post first.

I have a possible solution:

He may not be able to lift it at first, but then be able to.

OR

(you have to understand the Holy Trinity to understand this)
The Holy spirit might not be able to, but the Father(God) and Son(Jesus) might be able to, so therefore he can, but cant.

This actually makes alot of sense. When He made the rock, He couldn't lift it. But after making it, He becomes able to lift it. He made the rock He couldn't lift, and He lifted it. Smart!

This is a logical contradiction, not so much a paradox. It's like asking if God can make a square circle.
The answer to both questions is a resounding "No."
But this is not a threat to God's omnipotence that He cannot perform logical contradictions.
What turns out to be a silly little question ends up being... well... just that. A silly little question.

If god did create the rock

Heâd be too much of a pussy to attempt to lift it so he wouldnât embarrass himself

God would create the rock which he could not move, then move it.

Ya, it is more of a contradiction than a paradox. It is a silly question, but still, Its interesting to think about.
