God is also omnipotent, which means He knows all, so he could not do something that goes against his nature, or create something that is more powerful than Himself. He is Awesome!

Hmm, yeah, that's a very interesting point! Why not just trust "god" to protect him? Now, would that be a sin? Because if it was gods will for him to die, than he's preventing that from happening, right? but if god was "almighty" then he could give him a heart attack or something...but then if he's that powerful, why the need for bulletproof...round and round we go....I need chocolate!  :) smart question btw!

Can God almighty create a thing which he cannot destroy?\n\nGod cannot do anything and everything. There are so many things that God almighty cannot do. \n\nCan God be born? One of the characteristics of God is that He is not born. If we say that God almighty was born, then there was a time when He didn't exist. And if there was a time when He didn't exist, For Him to come into existence, somebody has to make Him exist. So there is somebody else who is really God not Him. If we say that God almighty cannot be born, we are also saying that The Creator cannot become His creation. Because creation means what is in need of a Creator. To you be a creature, means that there has to be someone who create you. So if God became His creation, that means He is now in need of a creator. THIS IS IMPOSSIBILITY AND ABSURDITY! \n\nCan God create a stone which is too heavy for Him to lift? \nGod almighty cannot be unjust. The moment when God become unjust, he ceases to be God. Because it's one of quality of God almighty that he is JUST.\n\nThe Qur’an says:\n"Allah is never unjust In the least degree." [Al-Qur’an 4:40] \n\nGod cannot be cruel. \n\nGod almighty cannot throw me out of his domain. He can obliterate me. He can kill me. He can vanish me. But he cannot throw me out of his domain. WHERE WILL HE THROW ME? Everything belongs to him. \n\nGod cannot create a tall-short man. Yes he can make a tall man short. But no longer will he remains tall. But you cant have a tall-short man. You can have a medium man, who is neither tall nor short. But you cant have a man who is tall and short at the same time. \n\nnowhere does the Quran says that God can do everything, Quran says in several places that God has the power over all things. There is world of a difference between "Allah can do everything and Allah have the power over everything"\nAllah says in holy Quran (85:16) \n"He does what He intends (or wills)"\n\nWhatever he intends he can do. But God does only Godly things. He does not do Ungodly things. \n\nWhen we muslims say "God almighty can do all things", we are talking about all things that are consistent in Him being God. Not included the absurdity, impossibility and the things which make "God" no longer "God".\n\n\n\nISLAM HAS LOGICAL ANSWER FOR THIS QUESTION\n\n\n\n\nEDIT >>>>>> ==============================...\n\n"His command when He desires a thing is just to say to it, “Be!” and it is." (Qur’an, 36: 82)

Ok, so you think God might have been a master illusionist. Let's think of it this way, God isn't the only one with "powers" i guess you could say. Th devil workss his mischief into the equation and provides those who don't believe in God with, so called, powers. This is the very reason why it's so hard for people to accept the idea that God exists. Theres just so much out there having to do with magic and trickery that anyone can say that their god is real above all others. I personally don't believe that God was just an illusionist, there's just gotta be some higher being out there that made everything possible. I hope this answer helps.

I think that any religion that advocates peace and harmony among people, and harmony with nature, is pretty close to what God would want.  My thinking is that if God did create the Earth, and nature, and Man, then he would not want those things damaged.

Ok.. here goes. . ." Does God make the "Bad Deer" jump in front of cars on the highway driven by "Bad People" ? I LMAO.\n\nThen the guy gave me best answer, although I really didn't say much !!!

I just have to say that that idea that God is going to smash certain people with his big toe really doesn't go over well with me!  That is not how I see God at all.  To me, God would be perfect in love and knowledge, and therefore he would know what is making people act and think the way they do, and he would love them - not "smash them with his big toe."  That just paints such a stupid picture of God.  It is irreverant in my opinion.  Sorry Mainworry, that's just how it strikes me.

The problem is, you are assuming in your "if there is a God" case that you know what to do to "serve" Him.  But you don't have any basis to know that.  If you are talking about some generic God, there are infinitely many possibilities for how to "serve" Him (assuming He even needs serving).  On the other hand, if you are postulating a very specific God that you have heard about from other people or a book, then you have created a false dichotomy; there aren't just two possibilities (no God versus the God of the Bible), but rather infinitely many (God of the Bible, God of the Koran, God of a book that no one wrote yet, etc.).  So if you "serve" one of them (whatever that means), you are neglecting to serve others.\n\nSo we are back to figuring out what you believe, and going with that.  I guess if you believe in no God, you could still pick one of the infinitely many possibilities of God to "serve," but that seems awfully arbitrary, and your odds of guessing right seem so infinitesimally small that it seems hardly worth the random guess.

I have found that with God, all things are possible. Don't let your earthly mind get caught up in earthly thoughts. Explain how a mother can lift a car with her baby under it. Or spontaneous combustion.

Its really good to me. To me seems to say that true strength to walk with God comes from God and not from ourselves. It appears to acknowledges that we all try to do things on our own sometimes and think we are leaning on God/letting him guide us, even when we are not and we are really trying to carry the weight on our own. But its quite upbeat and seems to remind me that even that wont separate me from him in the long term! Its a good reminder, thanks for posting it\n I dont know if this is a song written for this topic but it speaks to me about that with the bits about trying to be strong, being serious about it, but not afraid to be weak and say "I got it wrong"....

Surely they can. If you remember, God said that he will use all things to bring people to him. For instance, one of my favorite bands is a Christian heavy-metal band. They write uplifting lyrics and have a great style, but to call their music non-christian just because you don't like the style is, I'm sorry to say, close-minded. One of the glories of God is that he speaks personally to all of us, and what brings you closer to him (traditional music) might not work for me, but what works for me (rock music) doesn't work for you... it just simply means we have different music tastes but not that whatever we listen to isn't true Christian music. God made all the world and all the people in it, and he made everyone different from one another. Why would He have done this if He wanted everyone to worship Him in the exact same way with the same music? We all find God in our own way, and I'm glad there is such a diversity of music out there to honor Him (isn't He the source of ALL inspiration anyway? including all forms of music?). You don't have to like it, but don't put God in a box and say only this or that is pleasing to Him... open your mind and your heart towards others, and see that God uses all things for His good.

In the begining...(sorry, couldn't help myself) God decided that he wanted to see if he could create a rock so big he couldn't lift it. Since God was self-eternal, he knew he that what was directly "created" could never be truly equal to a being that was self-eternal, so he thought to himself "how about a place where they might be more likely to arise"?\nHaving pondered the logistics he finally decided that the best approach was to compact everything into a "ball", and then detonate said ball with such force that matter would be seperated from energy. He knew that certain elements would naturally bond together in the aftermath, forming chunks here and pieces there. Eventually forming more and more complex entities. Even to the point of being able to temporarily trap some of the free flowing energy that tried to pass through the material. \nThis trapped energy would, in it's attempt to move out of said material, give the appearance of animation. Some of this "animating energy", depending in part on the length of time it was trapped and the complexity of the matter it was in, would come to realize it's situation of separation. Perhaps then, if the animating energy accepted it's separation as not necessarily a bad thing, it could organize itself in such a way as to keep itself intact once it left the host material.\nOn a large scale this can be seen when some stars evolve into a black hole, with a "singularity" inside. On a small scale it can be seen in Jesus or Buddha or a few others who have organized their animating energy into a permanent consciousness.\nThus fufilling God's original experiment as to whether he could make a rock so heavy he couldn't lift it. A universe where separated energy can indeed become self-eternal. \n"In the image of God", but on a smaller scale.

Wow I never knew that- are you sure about that? That is pretty awesome if that is true....God works in WONDROUS ways! And that verse is so good- I love it.

Could God do all the things in the Bible, if he is God YES!\n\nI did not see them but I go with the fact that God could do it and it would not be inconsistant with a loving God so I say yes it is true.

... and then not give us a clear sign that "yes, god is here. Worship!"\n\nYeah, this is the same question I keep asking, and I keep getting terrible answers for it. God made us to worship him, then made the careless mistake of giving us the option to not worship him. Either god is incompetent, god is malevolent, or god is not omnipotent.

God doesn't "manipulate" matters. God created everything. HE MADE the forces. HE doesn't need any force to do anything. God's will goes. But in order for us to grasp things, HE creates and changes our surrounding according to what we call the laws of physics. But sometimes, to restore our faith, he makes miracles, which don't really bow to the laws of physics.

I agree with you.  You cannot use logic to figure out All Powerful Super Natural God.\nIsaiah 55:9 As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts.\nBlessings:  Kaitlynn
