why not? but do you think he will do such childish thing? to prove what? i think he will rather make a rock that no one ever can lift it up except for himself. right?
This is a paradox!
the answer to this question is probably too complex for a human mind to comprehend. if i were God and i told you, you wouldn't get it either (: but then again, if i knew the answer, I'd be God.
hahaha. why not, instead of brooding over the answer to this insanely meaningless question, go home, take a long shower. then after that, try and see if you can lick your elbow.. hahaha. SORRY, I BORED :D
But why should he? To prove himself? God doesnt need to prove himself to us.

As Paul said in 2 timothy 2:16 that we should avoid vain conversations which edifies nothing.. let this not stumble anyone in the faith whom Christ has so loved and has died for.. However, in respect to tis question..i think God dropped in my heart on the How tos >.<
How do u Kill God? LORD Jehovah send Jesus Christ to die on the Cross then resurrected him again. GOD have to literally kill himself to save us. God came as a man with limitations as a man ( e.g only on place at a time, ONE Jesus only to minister, ) yet with Power as God himself, Jesus is FULLY man and FULLY God. so its tis, God will come in the form of man so as to limit his strength as a man, example, Jesus, so he cant lift the rock. YET the Father in Heaven CAN lift the Rock or Empower Jesus to do so with supernatural strength like samson. Thus the power of God is tis, he can SIMULTANEOUSLY be the one who cannot lift the Rock n the One who can lift the rock. Things can then be changed to watever he wills thereafter. God can do all things.
REEN!! i tried!! i CANNOT Lick my elbow :( but there is much wisdom in wat u say :) Glory to God! n thank God for u being around :D!
i fully applaud silas's answer (:
now i can answer my friend when he asks me that again!
why not just forget everything and carry on with life.
I believe the question should be be if he can... but if he wants to... why create something with no purpose. so far, He has proven that everything He had created, has a purpose, from the bees and ants, to even us man... He does not create just for fun. its not in His character!
dearest brothers n sisters^^
Manifiso's right! it is true its God's choice whether he wans to do it onot. Yet as isaiah 40:13-14 said, who hath told the LORD wat is right n wrong o who have been his teacher? The wisdom of God is the foolishness of man, therefore we could never know if ever tis work will b without a purpose God has planned. even as paul said that we have the mind of Christ even after quoting Isaiah 40, but God still holds his thoughts Sovereign to himself. We can never comprehend fully the greatness of the plan of God (as reen says ^^) till we see his face.
Take this question for example, answering it may be a fool's work. But wat if through tis question, the person who thought of it might come to know Christ? As This question maybe used by the world to try n stumble our faith, that God is not so wise since he cant answer tis question. NO! our God is Great beyond measure in wisdom n Strength and tis will b make known to them through us! his Temple! Sons n Daughters.
Let us not, therefore limit God in our own idea of God n box him up.
As God has a history of probably "dumb" things, one of Which is to Die for us on the cross. Calling us who were once his enemies, now his sons n daughters. we don deserve anything, he could have enslave us n it would b just yet he did not. Love is wat motivated him and it is wisdom to him. For us, it would have been stupid to die for ur enemies, its otherwise with God my Saviour!:D
Let God have his way n tat if ever he do something that seems dumb, we'll ask him b4 giving our judgements on his acts.
i apologise if i offended any, for the intention is not planned. Let us b gentle towards e people who asked tis questions that others will not b afraid to ask. For wat is a family if u cannot go to them for help?? Keep e unity of the spirit in the bond of peace through love ^^.
well.. actually he cant.. and he wont.. i got it frm my daddy.. philip chan... hahah
theres nothing too heavy for Him to lift, so theres probably nothing He can create.
YAY.
your not making any sense, gladys. Silas your comment was way to long and so i only read the first part. And my answer stays the same: Forget it and carry on with life.
yes mathieu.. don worry we're not gonna like stop breathin over this question, just doin it for fun la! :D this is, part of life! questions! xD heh
Gladd!!! woman!! am i glad to see u make an appearance! xD long time no see :(... i wld love 2 ask the question i cant ask here! how are u?? ^^
Deut 6:16 -
Do not test the LORD your God.
doubtful paradox.
just wondering, isn't this similar to asking God this question...
"Did God created an egg first or a chicken first???"
not trying to be funny but this question came into my mind while i was reading the comments so i thought i would ask =)
1 Peter 3:15
But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect
It's always good to ask among believers such qns not so much as to tickle the cerebrum but to prepare for people in your midst to ask as such. Like silas had shared "do not stumble your bro/sis"; is very important. Choose the right crowd for the sane-ly answers too.
But do know that our faith in God is not based on what just people shared or even a feeling but it's what we experienced first hand and know.
And what's beneath is a rich history of true accounts, places, culture, society, people etc.
For those who like to read up more concrete things bout the bible, its prophecy, etc you can log to www.gnmagazine.org
he ceated the chicken first ( KFC?? :D ) then for e function to multiply, he created the egg foe e chicken! :D ( SCRAMBLE EGGS with chicken suasages :D *go nuts)
chicken or egg? Lets make it 20 comments altogether!
i normally eat the chicken first then the egg.
but sometimes if i happy i eat the egg first.
but then again, i may eat both at the same time.
it all depends. :D
i eat both usually >.< like bite abit here, abit there, then see how i feel... then i deicide which one i'll leave for last... :D it'll go well with bread!
like the Le traditional breakfast for delifrance!!:D ma fav. ^^
i would rather eating the chicken... wait for the egg to hatch and grow into another chicken and lay another egg... repeat the cycle infinitely... then i will never go hungry...
sorry anonymous but i see some flaws which will spoil your perfect plan.
1. the egg will not hatch without the chicken sitting on it.
2. the grown chicken will not be able to lay a fertilised egg alone without a rooster so the eggs that it lay can only be eaten as eggs...
=)
ahhh.
this is so complicated.
i dont get it.
hahha.
forget it.
so lets just go toa payoh kfc for chicken after evening service lah
Please don't change the purpose of the comment page: ANSWER THE QUESTION. Not about eating or chicken killing chicken k?

*rejoices*
A few things. First, why ask such a 'ridiculous' question? Next, God can lift any rock He creates. However, when God was a physical human on Earth as Jesus, he wouldn't be able to lift a rock he(as God) created. For an example a mountain. Answers question?
