Can God create an immovable object?

God is omnipotent, i.e. God can do anything which is logically possible. Making a stone which is so heavy that it cannot be moved is logically possible. Therefore God, being omnipotent, can make a stone so heavy that it cannot be moved.

Is God really omnipotent?

According to traditional Western theism, God is maximally great (or perfect), and therefore is omnipotent. Omnipotence seems puzzling, even paradoxical, to many philosophers. They wonder, for example, whether God can create a spherical cube, or make a stone so massive that he cannot move it.

What can God Cannot do?

This catchy tract explains that there are three things God cannot do: He cannot lie, He cannot change, and He cannot allow sinners into heaven.

Is God’s Infinity mathematical or theological?

God’s infinity, however, is not conceived as one of these species of mathematical infinity. Descartes and Leibniz, for example, make a further distinction between the mathematical infinite and what they call the absolute infinite (and which I shall call the theological infinite).

What does it mean that God is infinite in nature?

Answer: The infinite nature of God simply means that God exists outside of and is not limited by time or space. Infinite simply means “without limits.” When we refer to God as “infinite,” we generally refer to Him with terms like omniscience, omnipotence, omnipresence. Omniscience means that God is all-knowing or that He has unlimited knowledge.

What is the difference between the infinite and the indefinite?

Descartes puts this as a distinction between the infinite and the indefinite, between a positive and a negative idea. The actual or potential infinite of mathematics is more properly called indefinite; only God is infinite.

Is God’s eternality qualitative or quantitative?

God’s infinite presence is likewise, qualitative and not quantitative. What about God’s eternality? This would only imply a quantitative infinite if one asserts that God is eternal in the sense of enduring through an actually infinite number of temporal moments.
