"God uses a spaceship from time to time (see Ezekiel)" is related to this topic:
IMO → Why does god need a spaceship?

God Can


When you say 'God can' do something it doesn't necessarily mean he has or that he ever will. In those cases it is very easy to tick the box.

Why easier

Sure, but why would that make it easier? Can god create such a stone?

God can do ANYTHING...


including the logically impossible. Would he actually WANT to do the logically impossible though?

My God!


My "God" is not of the creationist type so none of the above apply.

As to my view with regard to the Christian perspective, I believe they misunderstood the message and so the same still applies.

The Christian god has none of these powers, they just think he has.

Yeah, I have encountered the same problem a while ago, but couldn't come up with an appropriate option. Thumb Down

Do you mean "Can god create a stone he cannot lift?"

Either god cannot create such a stone (= he is not omnipotent) or he can create such a stone but then cannot lift it (= he is not omnipotent)

What is the point of asking what powers God has? he's God, he can do ANYTHING he likes. Asking what powers he might have is limiting God, giving him boundaries. If god created everything he is limitless. Powers are for 'superheroes' Not again

Maybe he doesnt WANT to lift it, maybe he doesnt WANT to create it.

Face lifting, mind lifting, stone liftin, god lifting

So is he able to create such a stone or not?
Is he able to change the future he saw (= he didn't see the future)?
