Can God Create A Stone So Heavy He Cant Lift It? by Griffelspawn(m): 11:10pm On Jan 14, 2021
The idea of omnipotence is dumb. As shown by this simple question can God create a stone so heavy he can lift it it? If he can then he isnt omnipotent as he cant lift the stone he just created. If he can't, he still isnt omnipotent because he then he cant create everything. You are welcome to answer, but please dont respond with "he works in mysterious ways". Because as John Adam's , one of the founding fathers of the USA put it"mystery is a convenient excuse for absurdity".

Mr Griffelspawn,
1. Knowing that you are intelligent, will you attempt fetching water from River Niger to a 500 gallon tank 100m away with an unmodified basket as a challenge to test your intelligence?
2. If you refuse to fill the 500galon bucket with water using the unmodified basket, has it proved you lack intelligence?

Thank you for proving religious nuts are incapable of reasoning with your strawman. You can continue to sprout nonsense but when ever you're ready to answer my question let me know.

Why get angry at two simple personal questions!
Since God doesn't exist, why should it be your headache?

But YOU exist and has been asked two simple questions: why throw tantrums if you don't know the answer.

I had assumed you were intelligent, was I wrong about that?

I am not angry you threw a meaningless hypothetical at me. To answer your question God doesnt exist but it is my problem because until the evil that is religion is eliminated from this world men will always be blind. Btw I do not consider myself intelligent, but an average citizen.

I have never gotten angry athe the thought of Santa Claus!

But the questions are legit!
Would you prove that you are intelligent by fetching water with an unmodified basket?

Your own question is also hypothetical and meaningless.

Q1: Is God omnipotent?
Yes. But that is only within the confines/boundary of his nature.
You went too far, there are so many simple things God cannot do.
1. He cannot lie.
2. He cannot fornicate.
Etc.
What shall we then say? Is God not omnipotent? God forbid! He is omnipotent, but that is only within the confines of the nature. In his nature, lies and fornication are nonexistent options, he simply cannot do them even if he wanted to.

The God you speak of is called the MOST HIGH. You know what that means? It means - after him, na still him. In other words, there is nothing above him, and that's the nature of God - The Highest.

If He creates a stone so heavy he cannot lift, he has created something higher than him. While he loses the omnipotent status, what you don't know is he also no longer abide as God. Why? We now have a new highest, the stone!

Fortunately, God's omnipotence does not exceed His nature. He is the highest, therefore anything that is higher than him CANNOT BE CALLED INTO EXISTENCE, EVEN BY HIM! WHY? SUCH CREATURE EXCEEDS HIS NATURE.

There you have it, God cannot create a stone too strong for him to lift.
Why? God's omnipotence does not exceed his nature.

Thank you for proving atheist nuts are incapable of reasoning with your own nonsensical question. Continue to sprout nonsense as well but you have to answer his own question too if you are expecting anyone to answer your own nonsensical question.

Prov 26:12 kjv - “Seest thou a man wise in his own conceit? there is more hope of a fool than of him.”

Romans 3:3-4 kjv - “For what if some did not believe? shall their unbelief make the faith of God without effect? God forbid: yea, let God be true, but every man a liar; as it is written, That thou mightest be justified in thy sayings, and mightest overcome when thou art judged.”

It doesn't matter, if you ask nonsensical questions then you should first prove to us that you can answer nonsensical questions if you want your own nonsensical question to be answered.

Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe. For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom: But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness;
1 Corinthians 1 :19 - 23

You just went of-field and out of scope to make this refuse dump post for first "Potency" is about Power and All Aspects and Expressions of Power.

But from the abundance of your stupidity, you thought to limit it only to the Power of what you call "Lifting" meanwhile The All Power-full (Omnipotent) can cause it to Move in any other way, even in a way that you are yet to describe with words..

So you have only proposed a nullity and displayed your foolishness.
