How is it not hers?If yours doesnt, and humans cannot understand it, I addressed your position. In the first post...I cant make sense of that, but I appreciate yaThats an appeal to an order outside of logic, which I prefaced in the OP.In perfection, you don't know imperfection, a rock too heavy would never exist.
The discussion is moreso for folks, like the few that have said so, whose God has unlimited capability.
God is unlimited. Love doesn't know hate. Light doesn't know dark. It's impossible. Because God is all knowing and knows nothing opposite of goodness it makes opposition an illusion a false narrative a hypnotic suggestion that one only needs to wake up and realize is not true.
Your title in the thread asked does "your God " have limitations, mine doesn't. Humans socially construct so much that they believe their stories.
I appreciate anyone's point of view in good faith.....but this thread was seeking a specified sub-group of beliefs that doesnt seem to be yours.
How do you know that a god is all powerful? Like, if it was so powerful, why does it need a badly conceived and written book to get its point across? It makes no sense.It is logical to assume that an all powerful being would be all powerful in all things.
He would be all powerful in creating rocks.
He would be all powerful in lifting rocks.
This means that his ability to create rocks would be unlimited, and his ability to lift rocks would be unlimited as well.
So logic dictates that there is no rock he could not create and there is no rock he could not lift.
It would be illogical to believe that God would not be all powerful because he could not create a rock he could not lift.

There is nothing illogical about it.Thank you. Interesting, do you presuppose this God is beholden to the other Laws of Logic, as well? Do you think there's an entity more supreme, which causes these limitations in the 1st place?I don’t think he can create a rock that’s too big for him to pick up.I'm interested to know about what you perceive your God's limitations to be (if any).
The all knowing AND all powerful God description seems to defy logic, but if your God can be illogical..... then I suppose that's fine;....however, if it's fine ........you're admitting that the Laws of Logic are not absolute as they can be broken by your God.
Many explain away paradoxes as "we're too small and ignorant to understand."
I accept that answer, but Im not interested in it if it's yours, as the conversation ends there. Im interested in folks who believe their God has limitations or not, and if not ~ if they can logically explain away all of the paradoxes this causes without invoking ignorance.
Because he created existence. Or more accurately he is existence. That is how I know.How do you know that a god is all powerful?

It's a book written by people who were so ignorant that they had yet to invent toilet paper. A god wouldn't try to get its point across by such a book that needs to be studied forever to wrestle some unrelated meaning from those stories. It makes no sense at all.How do you know that a god is all powerful? Like, if it was so powerful, why does it need a badly conceived and written book to get its point across? It makes no sense.
Badly understood book is not the same as a badly written book. Work on understanding and then you may see some brilliance in how some accounts were written. We seem to have lost that writing ability in modern times.
Thanks for the gibberish.Because he created existence. Or more accurately he is existence. That is how I know.How do you know that a god is all powerful?

Other than that, Merriweather said it best, improve your understanding and then your use of the book will improve. And so will you.
You are welcome. It beats the shit that comes out of your mouth.Thanks for the gibberish.Because he created existence. Or more accurately he is existence.

And I have explained why it is illogical.If a god cannot make something he cannot lift, hes not all powerful.
and if he cannot lift something, hes not all powerful
its the omnipotence paradox. in logic, unresolvable
She certainly thinks so.Irosie is beatin' poor Ding down in another thread about der Messiah started by NL(I'm not dead I'm the walrus)...
Are all homosexuals anti-religious?What happened to the unfunny Ding?
I don't know every homersexual...Are all homosexuals anti-religious?What happened to the unfunny Ding?
That's OK, you can extrapolate.I don't know every homersexual...Are all homosexuals anti-religious?What happened to the unfunny Ding?
Youre changing the equation from can he make something HE CANNOT LIFTAnd I have explained why it is illogical.If a god cannot make something he cannot lift, hes not all powerful.
and if he cannot lift something, hes not all powerful
its the omnipotence paradox. in logic, unresolvable
The logical fallacy is the question itself. Inherent in the question is that it is impossible to logically do both. In reality though, an all powerful being would be all powerful in all things, and by all powerful, we have to assume infinite.
So logically it proceeds that an all powerful being could create a rock of infinite mass and would have infinite lifting capacity to lift that stone.
Therefore, the paradox is illogical in that it incorrectly defines only two logical solutions; neither of which is correct.
Start small and expand...That's OK, you can extrapolate.I don't know every homersexual...Are all homosexuals anti-religious?What happened to the unfunny Ding?
