the rapture wears me out. Seeing how our fate as the current church is to be martyred.Thank you kindly for the offer but I recently got out of a merry-go-round debate on the rapture, lol, where I believe God's wrath has never fallen on His obedient children. I'm with you on the second issue absolutelyBtw you can go back pages on the BDF and jump back in a rapture discussion if you like.

10 Can God create a rock so big He can not lift it?
AI Overview
The answer is no. This classic riddle creates a trick question about logic. It asks you to choose between two limits: God's power to make things or God's power to lift things. However, asking it is like asking if God can make a "square circle".
The Definition of All-Powerful
Being all-powerful (omnipotent) means God can do anything that is logically possible to do. It does not mean God can do things that contradict themselves.

The Paradox: To make a rock too heavy for God to lift, the rock would need more than infinite weight.
Actually the answers is yes. God could infact make a rock so big He could not lift it. Why/How can this work with an all powerful God?
Because an omni-max God who must always perform or produce a result that is consistent with His maximum power is not all powerful. This God who must always perform at his max power is a slave to paradox.
The God of the bible is the Alpha and Omega The creator of all things and the one who has the final word or say on all thing. This means that God's primary attribute is that His will supersedes ALL other attributes. Eg: if God WANTS and it is His will that He create a rock so big He can not lift it, then yes God can absolutely do that. If However God does not want to create such a rock then No, He will not to do that.
