God of the Bible atleast is not Illogical like us as Humans God is logic and Can not go against him self
Logic can only from Eternal logic because Logic does not come from non -logic
There are some things God can not do because he can't go against his nature, he can't lie, or do evil or go against his nature which is good and logical

We are have a percentage of these god like quailties and when we poses one or more of them to a great degree in this world one becomes very well known for it but God has all quailties in completeness .
Marliyn Monroe a famous beauty Eienstien famous for intellgence Atlas famous for strength but they are all lacking in other quailties Marliyn is not well known for intellgence or Eienstien for beauty.
God tho is the most famous because all of these qualties are there in full.
So can God create a rock biger than He can lift?
The answer is yes, He can and as He is Dynamtic ever increasing He can in an instant the pick it up.

God being all powerful is defeating evil as soon as we reguest Him .Forgetfulness of God absent of His power and protection evil volentary appears .kyle22 wrote:skeptic griggsy, that is a good point. If god is all-powerful, why is there evil? Wouldn't an all-powerful god be able to defeat evil?
Does the Sun produce darkness? Darkness appears because of the absent of light. When there is an absent of God remenberence worship understanding evil appears
God never forces Himself on us but is there when we ask Him want Him to be.

Re: Can god make an object so big even he can't move it?
i disagree with this God is not good in the ethical sense I imagine it is more of a pureness in his being he can do evil because he could kill someone which to us would be evil, but God is superior and probably doesn't waste his time contemplating ethics which are essentially a waste of timeTruthdealer2121 wrote:philoreaderguy wrote:God is all powerful, right?

Re: Can god make an object so big even he can't move it?
However because God is not a material Reality, is a Spiritual Reality, an immaterial Reality, God does not have the physical leverage to do work.
God does not make rocks.
God merely created the process by which rocks are made, Cause and Effect, which has resulted in a System of Chaos.
The System Chaos as it brings order to the Universe creates the rock, is the Creator of the Whole of Reality.
The System of Chaos can not create a rock that it can not lift.
