The Silver Bullet of Atheism :
Can Allah create a rock that he cannot lift?

Mirage, Was there a rock Jesus couldn’t lift?
Thanks

Here is the response to your 'silver bullet'The Silver Bullet of Atheism :
Can Allah create a rock that he cannot lift?
I agree that God cannot lie or decieve, not because of any lack in His potential, but because it is not in concordance with His nature. Likewise, I believe that the eternal/immortal cannot die, the uncreated cannot be created, and so on. What I am interested to know is why you make an exception for God in the case of acting deceitfully but not in the case of becoming a man. Do you believe that God can become a man?Ansar Al-‘Adl, perhaps this will help.
God can not act deceitfully.
God can deceive, with the exception of what is underlined. If you feel otherwise, I would be interested in knowing what the basis is.
Ansar Al-‘Adl, “Can God create an uncreated being? Yes, or no?”
Was the man Jesus created?
Was the soul that inhabited the body of Jesus created?
John 8:58
58"I tell you the truth," Jesus answered, "before Abraham was born, I am!"

this is a little silly.
"can god create a rock that he cannot lift"
look at that sentence! It defies all logic, of course Allah can defy logic so lets make the answer SIMPLE!
god can indeed make a rock he cannot lift, but he can turn that same rock into sumthing he can lift!
^ illogical answer right? THE WHOLE THREAD IS ILLOGICAL ;D
I read that post and it actually didnt even come close. Why do muslims post up such rubbish and low quality stuff and then say "okay, i disproved you, done"? That post didn't even begin to answer the question.
That's precisely the point!! Atheist KNOW that the question is illogical! Thats why it precisely disproves God's existence because such a question is logically untenable! But God on the other hand is supposed to be able to do such a thing.
Believe it or not, you just became an atheist.
Mirage, then for you the answer is, Yes.
Based on what you based your answer on, how did Jesus walk on the water?
Thanks

Abd’Majid, if you will explain just what part of my post you are having trouble with, I will be happy to revisit it.
Thanks
