But in fact the answer has to be no for God to be omnipotent. So to reword the question: Is there any rock so big that God cannot move it?

Is there any logic in asking such a question!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14736201.post-1163790172505665902006-11-17T14:02:00.000-05:002006-11-17T14:02:00.000-05:00No comment.No comment.David Druryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11935888468388634009noreply@blogger.com
