Then how can he create a stone that is unliftable?
Originally posted by PawnokeyholeNo. You can deduce several things about the treasure. One such deduction would be this: It is not the case that the treasure both is and is not a very hot burrito.
Suppose I never found some buried treasure. Would it follow I could never use logic to talk about the treasure before I found it?
Originally posted by The Chess ExpressHave you found Him? If so, give that logic thing a try. Unless, of course, you are misusing the word logic, but don't feel bad if you are. You are certainly not alone in your lack of communication skills.
I believe logic can only be used to describe God after you've found him.

Originally posted by The Chess ExpressVery honest, and therefore rare, answer. Thank you. I agree wholeheartedly.
No, I haven't found him yet 😞
Anyway, what I mean is that logic can be used to explain anything. Something which is divine cannot really be explained by human words. The same words, as LordOfTheChessBoard pointed out, can be used to unexplain it. An orange needs to be tasted, not explained by words.

God can make a rock infinity big and still lift it.

Originally posted by KellyJayInfinity is not a number. All "infinitely big" means is that it is so big that we can't know how big it is. It certainly does not mean that it takes up all the space.
This is like the square circle, you cannot make a square circle, because
all circles are circles not squares; a rock infinity big couldn't be lifted,
because it would take up all space. Where could it be lifted to that
wasn't filled with it? It could be as large as a universe and God could
make it light enough for my daughter to lift too, may as well ...[text shortened]... create strength. If it can be done, God can do it, and only
God knows those limitations.

Related question: Do you believe that God can do anything, or do you believe that he is indeed bound by these "limitations" you speak of?
