I so know this has been covered before … but can’t find it but…
Can god make a fire so large and burn so hot that even he can not put it out ?
I am curious to see how the church (or those of strong faith) react to this obvious trap question.
HE doesnt have to
Note that this isn’y a church response, it’s a logical response.
There would seem to be some fires no one can put out …
"it follows that a god can only make rocks he can lift "
I like that.
its pretty cool huh?
Hello, Great Debates!
OK, I’ll try to treat this one seriously.
The classic Jewish answer is that God cannot that which is categorically impossible. Thus God cannot create a rock He cannot lift, He cannot make a round square and He cannot create a Blue Invisible Pink Unicorn.

Methinks TRADER OF SHOTS and FAUXPAS are in cahoots.
In short, by definition, there is nothing an omnipotent and omniscient being can’t do. Throwing such things as ‘making a round square’ don’t work as the request itself is logically inconsistent.
