Can God Create An Object Too Heavy For Him To Lift?

[HitchSlap]

Nobody can do something that can't be done, by definition.

But were not talking about "nobody," we're talking the most supremely powerful being that's ever existed, right? And if he created timespace, and all of it's laws, including logic, then why not?

 

[HitchSlap]

I wonder if he is powerful enough to move a spoon on my table?

No, but Uri Geller might be able to.

 

[Hieronymus]

Lifts from his legs, lest he injure his low back.

The unliftable rock, what is it sitting on?

 

[Hieronymus]

No, but Uri Geller might be able to.

God is defined by traits like omnipotence, so yes He could.
Even if you don; t believe He exists, God could by definition.

You seem not to grasp the concept you're ridiculing.

 

[HitchSlap]

The unliftable rock, what is it sitting on?

God's big toe. Think he'll lift it now?

Which concept is that?

Exactly. God cannot create a rock so big that he can't lift it.

 

[Hieronymus]

Which concept is that?

Exactly...

 

[Hieronymus]

Exactly. God cannot create a rock so big that he can't lift it.

Why not?

 

[HitchSlap]

Exactly. God cannot create a rock so big that he can't lift it.

So there are limits to what god can create. Other than really big rocks, what else is he incapable of? Healing amputees?

 

[Thursday]

Why not?

It is not logically possible.

God controls all matter. Such a rock could not exist.

So there are limits to what god can create. Other than really big rocks, what else is he incapable of? Healing amputees?

Of course there are limits. God is real.

Could God create a person with free will who must always choose the moral course of action?

 

[Hieronymus]

God's big toe. Think he'll lift it now?

He'll make it disappear when He can not lift it.
But what i meant was, what's the body that causes gravitation on the unliftable rock?
It has to be at least as big.

 

[HitchSlap]

Exactly...

I find it best to ask theists what their concept of a "god" is, as there as many opinions as there are theists, it seems.

 

[Hieronymus]

It is not logically possible.

God controls all matter. Such a rock could not exist.

I don;t think you can decide that for Him.

 

[HitchSlap]

Could God create a person with free will who always chose the moral course of action?

Would they have a choice?

 

[Hieronymus]

I find it best to ask theists what their concept of a "god" is, as there as many opinions as there are theists, it seems.

It's God, not a god.
You sir, are a troll.

 

[HitchSlap]

I don;t think you can decide that for Him.

This is what I mean when I say ya'll have different "god concepts."

Carry on.

 

[HitchSlap]

It's God, not a god.
You sir, are a troll.

Does a lower case "g" offend you?

You sir, should read my sig.

 

[HitchSlap]

He'll make it disappear when He can not lift it.
But what i meant was, what's the body that causes gravitation on the unliftable rock?
It has to be at least as big.

He'll *poof* it out of existence?
