Can God create an object so heavy he cannot lift it?

The Christian definition of God is that he possesses all perfections including omnipotence so . . . . . Can God create an object so heavy he cannot lift it?
When questions like this are asked, the person is really just trying to come up with an excuse to not worship God. You are trying to find imperfections in order to lower Him.





He was the first and He is the last. He is the most outward and nothing is beyond Him. Everything and everyone is and has been created by Him. There is NOTHING that is beyond His control. No matter how large he creates something, it is subjected to Him. You have no idea just how large Allah (God) is. He's bigger than all that exists everywhere. Not just this speck of a universe.





Try these youtube videos to get a slightly better picture of just how small and insignificant we are:

English Translation by Hilali-Khan


The Throne Verse (Arabic: 丌賷丞 丕賱賰乇爻賶 示膩yatu-l-kurs墨), is ayah 255 of the second sura, in the Qur'an, Al-Baqara, and is widely memorized and displayed in the Islamic world.





Allah! La ilaha illa Huwa (none has the right to be worshipped but He), the Ever Living, the One Who sustains and protects all that exists. Neither slumber, nor sleep overtake Him. To Him belongs whatever is in the heavens and whatever is on earth. Who is he that can intercede with Him except with His Permission? He knows what happens to them (His creatures) in this world, and what will happen to them in the Hereafter. And they will never compass anything of His Knowledge except that which He wills. His Kursi (Throne) extends over the heavens and the earth, and He feels no fatigue in guarding and preserving them. And He is the Most High, the Supreme.





Isaiah 45:18 (English Standard Version)


For thus says the LORD, who created the heavens


(he is God!),who formed the earth and made it


(he established it; he did not create it empty,


( he formed it to be inhabited!):';I am the LORD, and there is no other.





Acts 17:25 (English Standard Version)


nor is he served by human hands, as though he needed anything, since he himself gives to all mankind life and breath and everything.





John 13:16 (English Standard Version)


Truly, truly, I say to you, a servant is not greater than his master, nor is a messenger greater than the one who sent him.





So your question doesn't make sense. It's like asking, '; If man makes a piece of paper so huge, will he loose control of it?'; And finally, just from a purely logical standpoint...If you make something, no matter how large, and you yourself put it somewhere. Dosen't that mean that you have the capability of removing it?Can God create an object so heavy he cannot lift it?
Come on people its a yes / no question. Which is it?





My answer is no, because in my opinion god does not exist so cant create anything!


And yes this question has been asked a hundred times in a hundred different forms, but everyone is still waiting on a yes or a no answer.






I love this question, because no believer can ever answer it without squirming to come up with something that makes no sense.





If he can't create such a rock, he's not omnipotent.


If he can create it but still can't lift it, he's still not omnipotent.


If he creates it but then lifts it anyway, or simply ';chooses not to,'; he still hasn't fulfilled the challenge.





Either way, God loses.





It's like asking if God can create a square circle.





Hahaha, bring on the thumbs down. You're all dodging the question. It's a yes or no proposition.
That my Lord and my God is omnipotent, omniscient and omnipresent is not my definition but His.





As for your question, God is pure Spirit, He does not rely of physical strength to move objects or to work in the natural realm.





In other words, measures that apply to humans would not apply to God.





Now, what was your question again?
Nobody has ever asked this on before!





Paradoxes like this one prove nothing. They just show our lack of undestanding of concepts like omnipotence.
Yes, he can. He just chooses not to!





Edit -- to wide awake. Did you just REALLY say the question is MUTE? Why would it ever talk, even if it wasn't mute?
He would have to be more powerful than himself. But his ability to make things heavier and physical strength are both infinite.





I know this doesn't answer your question.
Only followers can be that dense, thicker than depleted uranium.
The question is mute since God does not lift objects in the sense that we do.
Yes, but he never intended to lift it from its mantle.
God can lift anything~!
No, it would go against his nature.
Oh come on ... that's not fair to god.
Why does this question keep popping up?
*drink*





Thanks! I needed that early morning shot to get my head right.
I don't know, but if he can lift the ';B/S'; you're providing, he's got to be pretty strong!
