Can God Create A Rock So Heavy That He Cannot Lift It? by Nobody: 12:53pm On Jan 10, 2018 |
lolz this question is been around for centuries ..let's Know your thoughts.. Many times when talking with non-believers, they will appeal to some sort of one-liner or meme to render their unbelief a more credible position than the reality of an omnipotent God. Nevertheless, although these one-liners seem credible to the untrained mind, they actually don’t work as arguments. The same goes with this riddle, which basically attempts to pit God against himself in asking, “Can God create a rock so heavy that he cannot lift it?” so I invite all atheists ( wise ones only and open minded) theist (but not Christians ,) and interested Christians |

Christians friends., how do you Answer this? |

Ferisidowu:i don't know if u mean the question literally or as a figure of speech.. I will answer in the literal sense.. the obvious answer is a "no". Reason being that God is eternal. And eternity breaks the barrier of time, space and matter. Weight/mass is a fraction of matter, lift(change in elevation of the object) is a fraction of space. Since Eternity breaks these three barriers of time, space and matter definitely the eternal God can never be limited by matter or space... QED... 1 Like |

salvation101: oh thanks the question is originally mine.... to be sincere the question is foolish and lack logic, it's even contradictory just that there are foolish atheists That delight in foolish questions lol although not all :; some still admit that the question is baseless I brought it here so as to see how fellow Christians would answer... thanks for your contribution... also the question is meant to be taken literally.. lol 2 Likes |

Ferisidowu: A rock is physical and physical reality is a tiny aspect of existence. No matter how huge the illusionary rock is, it was imagined and cannot be compared to its source- The Mind. Even the Universe is a tiny feature of existence. Existence is all that is. What religion says God is is what existence is. Both are one and the same. If you exist, you aways will and have always existed. The reason why we are all God/Existence. A rock, no matter how big is nothing. |

Ferisidowu: This is called the Omnipotence paradox, a nonsensical paradox that shows people the absurdity of nonsensical concepts like Omnipotence 2 Likes |

salvation101: I think you miss the point of the paradoxical question. Let me rephrase this question better. Can God do something that he cannot undo I think this is a better representation |

Ferisidowu: The dribbling for that your comment dey excess... The question is originally yours... The question is a foolish one... The question is baseless... And now the question is to be taken literally. |

salvation101: Nope, the name of this exercise is the omnipotence paradox, the answered post picked a literal meaning to answer can only result in literal flaws even at that i can still juggle that literal answer to demonstrate the whole point of the exercise. I only chose to rephrase the question so anyone who wish to answer will understand the actual meaning behind the question. |
