Question for the bishop: Is there anything even God cannot do?

The article explores philosophical questions regarding God's omnipotence, specifically whether there is anything God cannot do, such as creating a stone too heavy for Him to lift or denying Himself. It explains that these paradoxes stem from misunderstandings of possibility and logic. The piece distinguishes between 'subjective possibility'—what is logically possible, like a cancer cure—and 'objective possibility,' which requires consistency with reality. It argues that concepts like an 'immovable stone' or 'self-denial' are inherently contradictory and thus impossible. The article concludes that God’s omnipotence does not imply He can perform logical impossibilities, as they contradict His nature as a necessary being.

Bias read (Center): The article presents a philosophical discussion rather than taking a partisan stance. While it engages with theological concepts, it does not frame them through a political lens or favor any ideological perspective. The analysis remains balanced, focusing on logical reasoning and philosophical rigor
