If God Is Omnipotent, Can He... by Liveair: 11:17am On Aug 31, 2014
Just wondering a bit.
If there is a God who called everything into existence and is said to be Omnipotent, then He can do EVERYTHING.
This means He can create and uncreate (destroy) ALL.

Question;
If God is OmniPotent, can He put Himself out of existence?

Your answer and thoughts.

UrbanMystique, not really.
Can God REMOVE HIMSELF from existence, maybe bring SELF back to life afterwards.

I think he has done that already, that's if he existed. He put himself out of existence or at least retired after creation, that's if he actually created the world. Lol!

What you have up there creates a logical conflict and as such your qyestion is not valid. It is impractical to want someone to exist and not exist at the same time.

Malachi 3;6. I am the Lord, i change not.

This simply means that God cannot even change himself talk more of putting himself out of existence. God can do anything when its about his creation but when it is about himself then he cannot do anything to change himself from who he is.

No! It is valid.
Believers often declare that logic cannot be involved in matters of God and Religion.

Matter of fact, someone seemed to have answered the questions earlier on the thread.

You can't kill yourself even if your life depended on it.

True death is the destruction of energy.

I see, you belong to folykaze's school of crazy philosophy on energy.


Life and energy are two different things.


please, answer the question- can God kill himself?

'Life' and energy are not different.

@Bold: That too creates a logical conflict. It is in God's nature to live. You can't ask him to die and live at the same time. Your question is not valid.

By the way, who did you offend this time to merit a ban? I presume your other moniker was banned.

cheesy Banned by the Sultan himself...Alhaji Macbantunji. It was an honour wink


Now, unto the topic, life and energy are different. One can be dead and still have energy in the body.


What do you mean that it is God's nature to live? Scriptural backing please.


Death is natural. To say that it is in God's nature not to die is a contradiction.

when we talk about God we dont talk about his shape or form because none of us has seen him. The bible did not give us his shape. In the scripture he manifested as a pillar of cloud at one time and at another time he manifested as fire burning in the bush etc. We describe God just based on his characteristics/attributes as written in the bible. He can manifest himself through any medium. It is his characteristics that make him God. Those attributes cannot cease to exist and thats what is meant by he cannot change.
