Can God Do Everything?

[fstrulz]

Yes or no?


There's only one right answer.

[Skiz]

No.

There'd have to be one first.

[deuce6000]

Yes.

[Skiz]

Yes.

Tell him to fix my server then.

By the New Year would be fantastic.

[fstrulz]

Yes.

God can obviously do that... but I guess he won't 'cause you've been naughty this year.

[JROQuinn]

Everything? Nope...

[fstrulz]

OK, I'd like some serious and logical answers and explanations.

[deuce6000]

There is no logical answers to that question.Either you believe or you don't..

[JROQuinn]

Well according to the Bible, if you are forgiven of sins, then He has forgotten them. Therefore He cannot remember what they were ever.

Thats just one of many

Ill add another...He cant stop loving you. (some may have a problem with this one ;))

[fstrulz]

There is. I have one.

I'll post it later. :)

[Broken]

Yes he can do anything.
But, he won't do anything useful because he's a prick. lol.

[xxtonic]

i have a video response to this.

[JROQuinn]

I watched the first 2 mins of that and it makes me want a joint

Two hours long, you gotta be kidding.
Can you like sum it up for me in twenty words or less?

[N4riX]

No. he would still have zero chance with jessica alba

[Barbarossa]

No.

He can't disprove his own existence.

[Chip Monk]

No.

He can't disprove his own existence.

You're forgetting what Oolan Caloophid (sp) said about the Babel Fish.

[Barbarossa]

You're right, although it was on the tip of my tongue.

[100%]

god is not an iphone.

[Chip Monk]

I like to think that God was the original iPhone.

[clocker]

I like to think that God was the original iPhone.
And Steve Jobs likes to think he's God.

[fstrulz]

If God can do everything, can he make a stone so big, that he won't be able to lift it?


That's why I think the right answer is No.

[Biggles]

Well there is the paradox between omniscience and omnipotence which suggests one cannot be both. So technically yes if one were to believe in such a God it would seem that there are limitations. How it would work in practice is anyone's guess.

[chalice]

God is watching you heathens.

There'll be no fucking Skelectric for youse if you don't start taking shit as read.

Santa is Jebus's half-brother, who was fat on account of him not taking that mental fast in the desert thing.

He won't not bring you any presents. He'll just get some hoodies to torch your house on Christmas Eve.

Verily.

Let us know when you get to your 7th birthday, then we can discuss it further.

Explain please.

Sod off

I have just stuffed my face with chicken Kiev, chips and beans and all the blood has deserted my brain for my stomach. I am just about fit to cope with the sexy lady thread (less distance for the blood to travel)

It kind of asked itself. I was merely it's mouthpiece on Earth.

Your unfeasibly large napper isn't as young as it used to be.

True and in stark black and white it looks like my diet is less than healthy - we do fruit and stuff too like :ermm:

There is a poem about the omnipotence thing if I can dig it up - I know FST will be beside himself with curiosity.

[chalice]

A Man Called Horse.

Didn't like the spinny nipple thing

[Sextent]

You and your blue movies.

[Biggles]

You and your blue movies.

His nipples were more than blue :blink:

On the other I can't find the poem but the jist of it was that omniscience precludes choice because he already knows what he will do whereas someone who is omnipotent can choose to do whatever he wants hence the paradox. In order to solve it you have to delve into ineffability - which I definitely am not up to especially after perusing the sexy lady thread.

Robert Graves

The Cool Web


Children are dumb to say how hot the day is,
How hot the scent is of the summer rose,
How dreadful the black wastes of evening sky,
How dreadful the tall soliers drulling by,
But we have speech, to chill the angry day,
And speech, to dull the roses's cruel scent,
We spell away the overhanging night,
We spell away the soldiers and the fright.
There's a cool web of language winds us in,
Retreat from too much joy or too much fear:
We grow sea-green at last and coldly die

In brininess and volubility.
But if we let our tongues lose self-possession,

Throwing off language and its watery clasp
Before our death, instead of when death comes,
Facing the wide glare of the children's day,
Facing the rose, the dark sky and the drums,
We shall go mad, no doubt, and die that way


Probly.

That sounds like the kind of pish a poet would come away way.

I think the difficulty is that the more you think about omniscience the more impractical it becomes. In essence time doesn't exist and every moment past, present and future is known in one timeless whole.

Least that is how I view it :blink:

The religious would argue that we understand God's omniscience about as well as your average hun understands how to work a bar of soap. In other words, not at all.

That's the thing about stuff, we always consider it through our own intelligence and experience. I for one feel ill able to understand omniscience.

That's really why it all boils down to faith, for now. And also why the idea of a proof of God's existence has not been found. Maybe it's there, we just aren't able to see it yet. Newton would have thought the quantum effects to be more magic than science.

As we stand on the shoulders of giants and the tower gets taller who knows what we may see.

[chalice]

That is to say that omniscience precludes omnipotence which isn't progressively veritable, like.

You could be omniscient without feeling the need to intervene.

You could also feel the need to intervene without possessing omnipotence.

Either way, god is a bit of a cunt, given that he's one or the other.

Edit: Or both.
