The classic paradox! This question often falls into philosophical discussion and theology regarding God’s omnipotence. The essence of the question is meant to challenge our understanding of what it means to be all-powerful.
From a theological perspective, God’s omnipotence means He can do all things consistent with His nature. He cannot contradict Himself or perform logical impossibilities. Thus, asking if He can create an object so heavy that He cannot lift it presents a logical contradiction rather than a limitation on His power. As it says in Job 42:2, “I know that thou canst do everything, and that no thought can be withholden from thee.”
This discussion encourages us to think deeply about God’s nature and attributes.
