"Can Allah create an rock that He can't lift?

Possible solution to the "Rock God cannot lift" paradox?

  • This is just an idea. God can create the rock he cannot lift, but God not being physical creates something that can lift it through his will, but it is not God himself? Just wondering if this makes sense to anyone else, because i find this paradox just fancy word play. And serious answers only, no insults, and if you have a different answer, please explain.

  • Answer:

    I can answer it myself. God cannot perform logically impossible acts regardless of his status as omnipotent. God cannot create a rock too heavy for him to lift as that would be logically impossible as he is omnipotent. God also cannot create a square circle, but this doesn't hinder his omnipotence.

"Can God create a rock He cannot lift?" is the same as asking, "Has your mom stopped beating you?" The answer can be either yes or no, yet the question in itself will always have an displeasing answer. So the answer is yes, God can create a rock He cannot lift, but that doesn't mean He is weak. There's many things God cannot do, such as lying, cheating, or unconditionally forgiving sin. The problem is not the answer, but that it's a incoherent question to begin with.
