If you could do anything and get away with it...

Well you know how it goes, according to the bible when God can't move something/someone he usually just destroys it/him/her out of spite.

But..... he could make a bolder he couldn't lift, then make himself able to lift it, so he's not unable to lift it anymore, but he couldn't lift it before, so he still couldn't lift it, but now he can.

No but if that happens then he can indeed lift it.

But he couldn't before so he couldn't.

Hobbe you're not understanding one thing: He can make it so that he can lift it. Ergo, he can lift it. Adding an extra step to the process doesn't make both statements true.

It does because he can't lift it at first, and he changes the properties of himself so TECHNICALLY he isn't himself anymore. So HE can lift it but his inferior past self cannot.
 
It....doesn't work that way, Hobbes.
 
Yeah Hobbe, you fail at logic :P

Let's say I can lift 20 kilograms, and not 30. However, if I'm able to train hard enough to lift it in two weeks, I can lift it. All in all, the object that weighs 30 kilograms is ableto be lifted, even if I couldn't before.

But... you couldn't. Then you made yourself able to. Whichever way you put the sentence:

"I couldn't lift it"

It still means... he could make a bolder he couldn't lift.

"God made a bolder he couldn't lift"

So... it works.

:troll:
 
But if God(or any other supposed omnipotent being) creates a boulder he can not lift he is not omnipotent. That's the omnipotence paradox.

Listen, Hobbe, if God is omnipotent he should be able to do anything. Including creating a boulder that can not ever, not in eternity, by no one and I mean no one at all, be lifted. NEH-VAR. Just... unliftable. Even God shouldn't be able to, even if he tried to make himself able to. Then, if he after some magic spell is able to, even if he couldn't lift it before, the boulder does not meet the criteria of not being able to be lifted by anyone EVER, because it was lifted by someone, within eternity.
 
god is what ever i believe him/her to be and i believe for that moment that hes a wuss

But God can do whatever the **** he wants, so if he really wanted to he could make a boulder that he just... couldn't lift. And that is the end of that.
 
But what if he wants to lift said boulder? He can't. As such omnipotence is an impossibility.


And that's the end of that.
 
But he wouldn't want to lift the boulder, would he?
 
Can I have a boulder?
 
You mean this here boulder, of which there are countless billions just outside my house?

No, it's mine!
 
Do not come between a pregnant woman and her boulder. NOW GIMME!
 
I'd take some police riot gear and a duster coat, then make myself some NCR veteran ranger armour out of it.
