So does that mean God could make something heavy enough they not even he could lift?

Excellent question.

Why the hell not? Like you have the definitive knowledge of what god is?

Are you asking a serious question or are you legitimately ignorant?

Yes, if he chose to. And if he then chose to lift it, he could.

God is beyond our limited four dimensional understanding.

For a much better discussion of this idea check out Mere Christianity by C.S. Lewis.

Because God is unchanging.

How could God change himself?

If he is all power-ful.He cannot change his abilities.

If he is all knowing.He can not learn more.

How can god change.

There's a difference between "cannot" and "chooses not to." The question suggests that God can create something that, when he chooses to attempt to lift it, the action of lifting the object is not something that God can accomplish.

You are thinking in linear time.
What I wrote makes more sense if you conceptualize that God exists in all time simultaneously.

He can just starts taking roids, for eternity. He'll lift it eventually.

You can't make omnipotent "more omnipotent" can you?

If you're "God", you should be able to.



Those are man's definitions

True, but he's an unchanging god. So it doesn't matter "when" he is, he still is the same.

So you are saying that an absolute of any idea is a man-made idea and does not actually exist? There are no absolutes in God's world?

Only God knows the answer to that question

True. 🙂 No one can prove or disprove the existance of God without, themselves, being God, which is, as we all know, impossible. 🙂
