What Can God Not Do?

@RevDaniel,
There is ONE thing God cannot do: HE CANNOT SIN!

The bible says that God can do everything.

You have now said that God cannot sin. So I ask you: Is Sin not a thing?

Furthermore, (John 1:3)Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made.

Doesnt this suggest that God made sin?

I say to you that God can do all things. Perhaps He may choose not to sin or lie, but if he can do all things, as the bible tells us, then You will be removing from His Omnipotence, if you say he couldnt lie or sin.

@Grouppoint,
I perceive you are a man of logic, I respect that, a brilliant mind no doubt. However, if you understand the nature of God, his awesomeness, Glory, wisdom and majesty, you will realize human logic is useless with God. For it is impossible to please or even understand God without faith.
The simplest question in the Bible is not who is the mother of christ but: who tempted Adam and Eve to sin in the garden of Eden? That answers you question, God did not create sin and he cannot sin

@RevDaniel: There are three things that are not beffitting to God. So He will not do any of them; Having a family, vis a vis child/children come to mind along with the mother. This act does not fit the Majesty f God. they are meant for the being that need procreation, mankind comes to mind.

God does not need to have the functional qualities that we human beings have; eg eating, drinking, tiredness or resting, etc. God is unlike you and me in every way. All the above are for the being that He created. The costodianship of His creation is within His capacity. He guides it, always and constantly in full quality in His attributes. When He guides, He is the Best Guide. His Mercy extend beyond our capability. He gives aboundantly, without measure.

Nothing has the capacity to grasp Him. Hence, He does not have to come to the earth to walk among mankind to experience the condition of His creation so that he can thereby be suffered so that they will be forgiven through this act! Inshort, it is He, the God Almighty alone who existed, before He bagan to creat, even then His majesty was full. He was not lonely therefore longing for companionship. It was in His Mercy that He creats, wishing to reward true believers and meter out justice to unbelievers.

God does have power to control all things. It is Him alone that Mercifully forgives and only He can punish.

Good day friends, i know that the question is a simple one but controversal depending on how we look at it. Anyway, i will like everyone to share his mind on it without attacking the view of the other. I will be God's grace explain later.

1.  God cannot lie.  The moment God calls black white it will ceases from being black and it will instantaneously become white.  If He has said it then it shall become it. The Power of prerogative. Ex-Nihilo (Let it become).

2.  God cannot break His covenant.  He is the covenant keeping never failing Jehovah.  He is always faithful to keep His promises.

3.  God cannot change past events.  What has happened in the past remains and cannot be undone.

There are about 7 other things that God cannot do but I will leave that to the scriptural giants to decipher.

sure, he cant behold iniquity, bt why argue abt the ALMIGHTY

god cannot lie

he can't play pranks.

suffer His children

You have very good questions but the logic is somewhat off. In the first, Sin is not a thing. God created man does not mean God can do man. God can come in the form of a man, God can use man but God but God is not man. God created evil, God can use it to do his work.
To humans, sin is big but to God sin is as a man would see a needle. A man can make a needle which is a thing but that is what it is to him, a needle which he can use for what he needs to use it for.

I think the issue is with how we picture God. Sin to man is almost the same level as man is. His mind thinks of it, he fears it in some cases and he loathes it in others. Notice how Sin holds a huge place in the heart of man and so becomes just as big as man is and so to man is something that may never be escapable but God does not necessarily view sin the same way man does. I urge you to read the book of Job. You might find some of the conversations in there interesting and might get a better picture of how we ought to see God.

God cant make a mistake
