Is there anything God can not do?

[fishy]

No,


God can do every thing

Look at the universe
and try to see a bacteri
who created the stomach of an xenopsylla he created the stars also

Can god change his mind and decide to eliminate everything he has created and start all over again?

 

[bobhikes]

For god to exist God can not cease to exist.:sorry1:

 

[Dezzie]

Technically, God hasn't even proved his own existence, so how are we supposed to prove anything else?

 

[Gjallarhorn]

God cannot do what he cannot do, so yes.

No one knows. End of discussion. That's all there is to say on the matter.

Can God do stuff that does not make sense

 

[PolyHedral]

No.

I don't know if this has been mentioned, I haven't gone through the whole thread. If it has, then just ignore it. But, it seems to me that god is unable to go against humans' free will. I personally don't believe in free will, but the Abrahamic religions tend to be big on it.

Can God do stuff that does not make sense

:yes:. If he's omnipotent (and an omnipotent being exists)

 

[InformedIgnorance]

Eh... that would depend on how you define omnipotent... however if you define it in such a way as to exceed any logical restrictions then you run into the problem that you cannot then make any logical argument about such an entity, INCLUDING that omnipotence means you can do X; so therefore (note that 'therefore' denotes a logical process occurring to achieve a conclusion, however logic is now an unreliable component, so the conclusion itself is unreliable) an omnipotent being can do X, that does not mean that an omnipotent being cannot do X, but rather that ALL logical arguments applied to an existence not bound by logic, and any conclusions gained from such arguments are inherently unreliable.

 

[The high master]

Including that omnipotent can do X
I don't understand that term

 

[InformedIgnorance]

Okay....... let us assume:
-Some entity is not restrained (and thus categorised) by logic and was 'omnipotent'
-Being omnipotent includes the ability to 'eat breakfast'

LOGICALLY:
-The entity IS ABLE TO eat breakfast

However if logic is unreliable, so is such an argument and any conclusions! So instead we get:
-The entity MIGHT BE ABLE TO eat breakfast


I was using the term X as a wildcard, like how it is used in algebra. I am not clear on your understanding of the concepts within algebra or similar fields where wild cards are used, or indeed your familiarity with english, so it is a little difficult to state clearly, however in many instances, words or symbols (such as X) are used as a place holder for other terms, so that the X can be replaced with another term - often one that you can choose yourself.

Omnipotent being cannot do the impossible, else it wouldn't be impossible.

 

[InformedIgnorance]

Impossibility is dependant on the applicability of logic; to state that it is impossible assumes logic applies, there is no logical (lol) reason to assume it would.

((Though I cannot conceive an existence where logic is not applicable, that does not mean that it is not possible - to assume as much is a logical fallacy))

 

[Willamena]

That assumes logic applies...

No, no... just assumes definition applies.


Let's see you do away with that.

 

[InformedIgnorance]

Well to be honest i was assuming that when he used the word impossible it was to refer to the concept of anything that which from our perspective is perceived to be impossible, as opposed to impossible from the perspective of the entity being discussed. In that manner the term is referring to different concepts based on the context.

You.. you meanie!

But a clever one!

I hate linguistic arguments (which is weird for an ignostic I assume)
