Is there anything God can not do?

[outhouse]

I don't think God ever created matter. He organized it.

[Flat Earth Kyle]

Nor can he show himself to modern man

Nor can he make a sound to modern man

Nor can he make any public announcement

Nor can he write, probably cant read either

Nor can he stop tsunamis

Nor can he stop earthquakes

Nor can he stop volcanos


he cant do anything really, what I want to know is what can he do??

He can do all of those things.
I just thought of something other than prayer that may give some evidence of his existance.
Do you believe in the Big Bang Theory?
What caused the Big Bang? All things happen because something acts upon them. I pick up a rock and throw it off a cliff. That rock is not going to move unless something acts upon it and makes it move. When the rock falls it hits some other rocks on the way to the bottom and cause them to move. Those rocks would not of moved if that other rock that I threw had not crashed into the other rocks. All things either act, or are acted upon. Things don't just happen. There is a reason for everything.

Yes as states the first law of Thermodynamics.

Okay, then.

I personally believe that God does have to work within logical and natural laws, which are part of Him, and have always been there with Him.

I don't see why I can't, and I don't see why you can say he wasn't.

He actually does, have you read your Bible?
How about in the Book of Exodus? God spoke to a large crowd and terrified them and the people said let Moses be the Messenger.
The Lord also personally led his people out of Egypt.
The Bible is full of examples, same as the Book of Mormon, and same as the Doctrine and Covenants and Pearl of Great Price. History is full of examples.

I'd hardly count the narratives of the Bible has history.

Besides, "does" implies present, and nowadays, He doesn't do those things, even if He once did now and then.

 

[Flat Earth Kyle]

Obviously you are not familiar with LDS Church History.

to commit suicide, may be ....

I believe God created space and time, so basically he can create and "uncreate" everything seeing that for something to be created means that it exists in certain conditions in a specific time and place, however God "exists" outside of time and space so that means he can do just about everything! I hope someone understood what I mean

If God created time and space and everything else, then at one point of time nothing existed except God. So when God wanted to create, He necessarily had to have a want or thought or desire first. How did this want or thought or desire arise in God when nothing existed but God? If you say God's thought is God, then God's creation is also God. Which means there has been no creation and what exists has always existed in one form or the other, call it God, call it creation or call it God and creation. So the question is not who created it all, but why does existence keep changing forms.

Break the natural laws of the universe.

God cannot make a missing arm or leg grow back. At least he never has.

Ha ha ha, but isn't this what He does all the time when when we keep being born again and again?

God can send the rain to grow plants so you can eat so you dont die, atleast he deserves a thank you for that

 

[K.Venugopal]

Then again, the God that is outside the system, wouldn't it be able to get out of paradoxes that rest within this system?

Great food for thought. But if He created this system, then some way He is within the system, is He not? At least as a conniving party? Again, if He is something else other than us, why bother about Him, unless He is coming after us, like an ET attack? No dear, God is very much part of the system. If you don't believe me, read any scripture.

Everything that you and I (and all others of us) have done and will do is what He can do.

Meaning, one thing leads to another or cause and effect or the law of Karma. God is just a link in this eternal chain - a chain linked to itself!
