Into affirmative statements, thus:
(a1) God can lift any rock however heavy He makes it.
(b1) God is self-existently permanent.
Are you completely brain dead ?(a1) God can lift any rock however heavy He makes it.
(b1) God is self-existently permanent.
The whole point of the omnipotent paradox, is to demonstrate that absolute omnipotence is a logical absurdity. If god can not preform these task, it means there is a limit to his powers, and that actual omnipotence cannot exist.
Several people have come up with what they consider solutions to the paradox. Omnipotent is redefined as logically powerful, god can do what is necessary. This still puts a limit to his power, but irrational or nonsensical task are irrelevant . ( he could do them if he wanted to, but there’s no point to it )
Of course, all this is meaningless. Such a being cannot logically exist in reality. And only exist as a man made concept to explain the unexplained.
Turning the paradox into affirmatives , defeats the purpose of the questions. So once again you are wasting our time.
Call me when you come up with a thread worth my while.
