This is NOT a 'can God make a object so heavy that even He can't lift it' thread. This thread is based on what is known about the current god(s) operating in different religions around the world today.
I do not wish to sound biased and my desire is to stay on the fringes of religion altogether. This is a search for information and I would like the believers in God(s) to show me if the all-powerful side of a supreme being includes the ability to do anything. Right now I scratch my head when I hear statements made about a God who can do this or that. Well, can he/her/it?![]()
I was told by a couple of religious pedlars who arrived at my front door last year that God (Christian) can do anything. I asked them if their god could die. They were taken aback for a moment but eventually muttered that they thought He could not. I said it was obvious to me then that He can't do everything. I then asked if He could make a mistake after which they left mumbling incoherently.
I got to thinking if there was anything else God(s) can't or couldn't do. Is there evidence in the bibles of the world that show god(s) capabilities are highly exaggerated or limited? Do things that happen in everyday life indicate a god's inabilities? On a different note.....Is there anything a god is credited for that couldn't have happened or is there something that no god could ever have done?
